[Continued] When I came out of the Dingzhou Museum at 13:30, I was already hungry. I took out my mobile phone and searched for nearby gourmet restaurants on Dianping.com. I found a few and went to see them. They were still closed. Finally, after repeated inquiries, I found a "Longlong Shengjian" restaurant with a good reputation on Dianping.com next to the Kaiyuan Temple Pagoda. The two ordered two bowls of wontons and a fried bun. While the restaurant is cooking, walk out of the restaurant and take a closer look at the Kaiyuan Temple Pagoda.
(After searching for a long time in the bustling neighborhood, I finally found a good fast food restaurant)
The pagoda of Kaiyuan Temple in Dingzhou was built in the early Northern Song Dynasty and has a history of more than a thousand years. It is named after it was built in Kaiyuan Temple. Because it is located in Dingzhou City, it is also called "Dingzhou Pagoda" by the people. Kaiyuan Temple Pagoda is the tallest existing ancient brick pagoda in China and the tallest building of the same structure in the world at the same time. It is known as "the first pagoda in China". cultural relics protection unit. The tower of Kaiyuan Temple is built on a tall platform with a perimeter of 128 meters, a height of 83.7 meters and eleven floors. The body of the pagoda is of brick and wood structure, octagonal, and the plane is composed of two interlaced squares, which is a change from the square form of the early pagodas before the Song Dynasty.
(If you can't go in, you can only appreciate the famous tower of the first batch of national security units from different angles outside the courtyard)
The magic of this tower lies in the fact that "there is a tower in the tower". In the 10th year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty (1884 A.D.), a major earthquake occurred in June. Tower in tower. After that, there was no maintenance until 1987, 103 years later, when the national cultural relics department invested huge sums of money in overall reinforcement and maintenance of the residual pagoda. It was basically completed at the end of 2001 and opened to the public at the end of 2002.
(I picked up a picture on the Internet, donkey friends can take a look at the "Tower in the Tower")
The Kaiyuan Temple Pagoda not only has the religious function, but also has the function of watching the enemy's situation in the military, so it is also called the enemy's tower. Judging from the introduction of the scenic spot, it turns out that tourists can climb to the top of the tower and experience for themselves "not afraid of clouds to cover their eyes, just because they are on the top floor". The main attractions of the Kaiyuan Temple Pagoda are the niches, murals, clay sculptures, inscriptions, etc. in the pagoda, which are exquisite and beautiful. Its murals are large in scale, depicting many characters, rich in content, and exquisite in technique. They are the best works of surviving ancient Taoist murals. There was a poem that praised "every time you go to the top of the dome, you almost feel like you are in the green void", which shows the unique beauty of this tower.

On the north side of Kaiyuan Temple is a square. Standing on the square, you can see the six big characters of "Kaiyuan Temple Pagoda in Dingxian County" on the outer wall of Kaiyuan Temple. But I couldn’t enter Kaiyuan Temple from here. I walked around the temple wall for more than 300 meters, and found the entrance of the scenic spot on the south side. The notice in front of the door showed that "internal maintenance is not open", so I can only regret to miss it this time. This is known as the "Three Treasures of Hebei" together with the Cangzhou Iron Lion, Zhengding Longxing Temple Bodhisattva, and the "North China Four Treasures" together with the Cangzhou Lion, Zhengding Longxing Temple Bodhisattva, and Zhaozhou Bridge.

After lunch, walk in the corridor surrounded by the square on the north side of the Kaiyuan Temple Tower.

The original ticket price was 20 yuan per person, but now there is an acousto-optic demonstration project of "Flowing Qingming Shanghe Scene" in the scenic spot, which forcibly increases the ticket price to 60 yuan per person. I asked the ticket seller if there were any tickets for "Moving Qingming Shanghe Scene", and the answer was that there was only one kind of ticket. Now that I'm here, I can only do this in desperation, but when I think of spending the same ticket price as the Palace Museum, but only seeing this, there is always a feeling of being "slaughtered".
(Going back from the Range Rover Building, this is the east wall of the Kui Pavilion, and the visit of the entire Dingzhou Gongyuan is over. From here to the east, there is a temporary artificial greenhouse in the adjacent courtyard. Here is the place to watch "Flowing Qingming Shanghe Tu" place)

Turn around Dingzhou Gongyuan for an hour and leave at 16:45.
(There are quite a lot of parking spaces in front of the Gongyuan)
After leaving the Dingzhou Gongyuan, we wandered around for another half an hour, seeing the Han Qi statue, the Earth Temple and other scenic spots. By the way, the Dingzhou Office has been rebuilt here, but it is usually closed.

At 17:10, we bid farewell to Dingzhou, the ancient city of Zhongshan, at dusk, and drove to Lingshou Ancient City, the second capital after the founding of the ancient Zhongshan State. After driving nearly 100 kilometers, we arrived at Shangkeyou Express Hotel in Lingshou County at 18:40, and the odometer showed 318.6 kilometers. After checking in, go out to find a place to eat. The location of the hotel can be regarded as the center of the county, and there are many restaurants around, but today is the second day of the Lunar New Year, and the chefs of each restaurant are home for the holiday. After walking a few hundred meters, there is no open restaurant.
(I didn’t find a restaurant, so I enjoyed the festive night scene in Lingshou County)
When we finally returned to the hotel, we wanted to go back to the room to make instant noodles, but the owner of the hotel, Ms. Dong, kindly invited us to have hot pot and helped us solve the problem of dinner. And I gave her money, but she resolutely refused to accept it. The meal was very warm and happy, and I felt the warmth of the world in the cold wind. Give me a thumbs up! 【to be continued】
