Is Yingxian Wooden Pagoda worth going to? Is Yingxian Wooden Pagoda fun?
Visit the wooden pagoda in Yingxian County, Shanxi Province. This 65.84-meter-high wooden building has stood for thousands of years without a nail. It was created with amazing originality and was favored by elderly tourists.
Shanxi is a place with many historical and cultural landscapes. Every time I come to Shanxi, I will be shocked by the history and culture here and the ancient cultural relics left by the ancients. Pingyao Ancient City, Qiao Family Courtyard, Wang Family Courtyard, Yungang Grottoes, Jinci, Mengshan Giant Buddha, Niangziguan, Wutai Mountain, Temple and other places of interest are all must-see places for Shanxi tourism.
In the second half of this year, Shanxi Province began to implement the policy of national tourists visiting state-owned A-level scenic spots free of charge on weekdays. With its excellent tourism resources, Shanxi Province has quickly become one of the most popular tourist provinces in China.
Tickets for famous scenic spots in the province have also been booked out by tourists early, especially the popular scenic spots such as Pingyao Ancient City and Yungang Grottoes, which have long been crowded with people. What I want to tell you today is not a famous scenic spot in Shanxi Province, and even a little uneasy. This is Yingxian wooden pagoda.
Although the number of visitors to Yingxian Wooden Pagoda is far less than Pingyao Ancient City and Yungang Grottoes, the value of Yingxian Wooden Pagoda is no less than Pingyao Ancient City and Yungang Grottoes in terms of construction technology and historical significance. Why do you say that? Let's take a look with me next!
As soon as you walk into Yingxian County, you can see Yingxian Wooden Pagoda. This wooden tower is 65.84 meters high, which is equivalent to the height of 20 floors now. It stands out because it is very high. It is known that Yingxian Wooden Pagoda, formerly known as "Buddha Temple Sakyamuni Pagoda", is a wooden pagoda built in Liao Dynasty, and is called "Yingxian Wooden Pagoda" by the world because it is located in Yingxian, Shanxi.
If the Forbidden City is the highest level of ancient architecture in China, Yingxian Wooden Pagoda is the highest level of wood structure in China. There is not a nail on the top of the 65.84-meter-high pagoda, which still stands after thousands of years of wind and rain, earthquake and war. In addition to lamenting the superb skills of ancient craftsmen, it also makes people curious about its structure and construction technology.
I read an introduction and analysis of Yingxian wooden pagoda in the Planetary Research Institute before, which made me very curious about Yingxian wooden pagoda. This paper introduces the predecessor and construction technology of Yingxian wooden tower in detail. I put the address of the article at the bottom, and interested friends can have a look!
You can see many tourists stopping to watch and take photos under the wooden pagoda in Zou Ying County. Careful observation shows that most of these tourists are middle-aged and elderly tourists, and they have become the main force to travel to Yingxian Wooden Pagoda.
In recent days, there are many elderly tourists in various scenic spots in Shanxi Province, especially Pingyao Ancient City. Why are there more elderly tourists visiting Shanxi now? I think it is not only related to free admission, but also related to the ultra-low tour group in Shanxi and the profound cultural heritage in Shanxi.
Now the price of tour groups for elderly tourists in Shanxi Province is very cheap. You can see on the travel website that 100 minutes to 300 yuan, you can visit Pingyao Ancient City, Qiao Family Courtyard, Wanjia Courtyard, Hukou Waterfall and other scenic spots. In previous years, this price was simply beyond your imagination.
However, these low-cost tour groups all have a common problem, that is, tourists are uncomfortable and unfriendly to elderly tourists. Therefore, seeing these old people traveling not only makes them happy, but also admires their perseverance and endurance.
Yingxian Wooden Pagoda was built in Liao Dynasty and well preserved. It is not only the tallest wooden tower in China, but also called "the three wonders of the world" with the Eiffel Tower in Paris and the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy.
Although it looks solid and retains a good appearance, careful observation shows that all the floors are inclined to varying degrees. After all, after thousands of years, it is normal for some wood blocks to bend and crack. So it is also for the purpose of protecting cultural relics. In order to protect the tower, tourists are not allowed to climb the wooden tower.
Some people say that traveling in Shanxi is like opening a treasure chest of ancient buildings owned by a historical craftsman, including wood structure, stone structure, brick carving, painting, statue, clay sculpture, mural painting and carving skills. It's all a Chinese odyssey. They are world-famous and have left a rich world cultural heritage for the country. Everyone should know how to appreciate and cherish.
