What are the fun places in Dingzhou?

Eight Scenic Spots in Dingzhou: Kaiyuan Temple Pagoda, Zhongchun Garden, Xuelang Hanzhai, Zhongshan Back Garden, Pingshan Scenic Spots, Xixi Moon Playing, Tangshui Autumn Wind, and Xuyue Ancient Hall. The main attractions in the city are Kaiyuan Temple Tower, Dingzhou Gongyuan, and Dingzhou Confucian TempleThe Kaiyuan Temple Tower was built in the Song Dynasty. During the reign of Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty (976--997), Huineng, a monk from Kaiyuan Temple, was ordered to retrieve scriptures from Xizhu and returned with relics. Song Zhenzong ordered Huineng to build the pagoda in the fourth year of Xianping (1001), and it was completed in 1055, which lasted 55 years. Because it was built in Kaiyuan Temple, it is commonly known as "Kaiyuan Temple Tower". The original purpose of building the tower was to store relics and scriptures. During the Northern Song Dynasty, Dingzhou was located on the border and its military status was very important. The Kaiyuan Temple Pagoda "stifles the thieves and serves as the gateway to the country". You can climb it to look out over Khitan and learn about the enemy's situation, so it is also called the "Tower for Anticipating the Enemy". It is now commonly known as Dingzhou Tower. Kaiyuan Temple Tower: The tower stands tall and tall, with a majestic and dignified shape. During the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty (1426--1435), Yuan Xuan, the prefect of the prefecture, once wrote a poem: "To the south of the county city, there is the Brahma Palace, with a sudden floating picture leaning in the air. There are no waves in the Qishui River to see the reflection, and there are green peaks in Hengshan Mountain. There are pearl trees on the top to welcome the rising sun. , Listen to the evening breeze with the golden bells playing on the eaves. Every time you go to the top of the dome, you will solidify yourself into the blue sky. "There is also a poem by Gong Fanxian, the censor of Shaanxi Province: "Slowly walking among the hundred feet of the pagoda, I feel the wind of catkins and apricot blossoms. When I pass by the twelfth floor, my eyes see the space of three thousand worlds. Where can I find my Buddha? My heart is connected with Taixu. Sometimes I cross the crane and reach the first level of the sky. "Zhongchunyuan Shu: Located in Northeast corner of the city. During the reign of Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty (976--997), it was built by Li Zhaoliang, the prefect of Zhongshan. At that time, Zhishui was a pond, covering an area of ??more than 100 acres, with thousands of willows planted, luxuriant flowers and grass, and elegant pavilions. Every early spring and midsummer, there are sparkling waves, weeping willows, and beautiful scenery. Later, over the years, it gradually fell into disuse. Han Qi was appointed as the governor of Dingzhou and expanded and built the ruins. In the eighth year of Qingli Dynasty (1048), a long embankment was built and a gate was built at the southwest corner. It took the meaning of "joining the public in spring", so it was named "Zhongchun Garden". Xuelang Hanzhai: Xuelang Hanzhai is named after its stone. In the eighth year of Yuanyou (1093), Zhezong of the Song Dynasty, Su Shi was demoted to Dingzhou. One day, I accidentally found a stone in the back garden of Zhongshan (now in Dingzhou Middle School). It has black substance and white veins, with water patterns in the middle. It shows a looming landscape painting, just like the one painted by the famous painters Sun Wei and Sun Zhiwei of Shu Dynasty at that time. The rush of water between the rocks, the gushing of hundreds of springs, and the splashing of waves gave it the name "Xuelang Stone". Su Dongpo found this stone as if he had found a treasure. He transported white marble from Hengshan Mountain in Quyang, carved a hibiscus basin, put the stone in the basin, and built a studio behind the Confucian Temple, named "Xuelangzhai". In the first year of Shaosheng (1094), Su Shi was demoted to Yingzhou again, and the basin and stone were buried for a long time. In the eighth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, Tang Xiangxing, the magistrate of the state, discovered Xuelang Stone. In the 11th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign in the Qing Dynasty (1672), it was listed as one of the eight scenic spots in Dingzhou, named "Xuelang Hanzhai". In the 41st year of Kangxi's reign, Han Fengyu, the herdsman of Dingzhou, moved the basin stone into Zhongchun Garden and named it "Hou Xuelangzhai". The Zhai Pavilion is about 4 meters high, has a hexagonal shape, and is built with fake stone on both sides. It is simple and elegant. The Xuelang stone stands on a lotus stone basin. The diameter of the basin is 136 cm. The height and width of the Xuelang stone are 76 cm each, and the thickness is 40 cm. The bottom circumference is 196 cm. It has black matter and white lines, like flying snow.
