👀 Follow
Today's joy😀—Iron Pagoda Park👏
Kaifeng Iron Pagoda👍| The Millennium Glazed Treasure Pagoda of the Northern Song Dynasty🗼
🤩Iron Pagoda Park is one of China's hundred famous gardens and also a national AAAA-level tourist scenic spot🤩.
This Iron Pagoda (national treasure), was founded in the first year of Huangyou of the Northern Song Dynasty (1049 AD)😎, with a height of 55.88 meters, octagonal and thirteen stories👀. Its architectural art is exquisite and superb, with a majestic and elegant posture, renowned at home and abroad😜. In 1961, it was announced by the State Council as a national key cultural relic for protection👏. Because it is inlaid with brown glazed bricks throughout, and its color is similar to that of iron, it is commonly known as the 'Iron Pagoda'🤔.
The main attractions in the scenic area include: stone steles, bonsai gardens, Linggan Courtyard, Jieyin Hall, Iron Pagoda, Iron Pagoda Cultural Relics Exhibition Hall, He Gongxuan, the ancient city wall of Kaifeng, as well as the Rose Garden, Shangfang Garden, Bamboo Garden, Iron Pagoda Lake, and so on🤩. It integrates cultural relics and garden art, showcasing its elegance and welcoming tourists from all directions🤗.
There are also large-scale live performances such as 'Shifang Xianbao', large-scale song and dance dramas 'Le Wu Li Fo', and clapper talk shows, among other wonderful performances🎶!
The Iron Pagoda scenic area has invested heavily in the night tour performance project, the Iron Pagoda Light and Shadow Show—'The Legend of the Iron Pagoda', which is very popular with tourists🥰.
🎈Travel tips:
1. Currently, Iron Pagoda Park is free of charge😜, open from 8:00-18:00🕙. However, the timing is a bit mysterious😯, I arrived at 7:30 that day, and the gate was also open👀.
2. Kaifeng Iron Pagoda Park is one of only two ancient Northern Song Dynasty buildings in Kaifeng😎, with the older Fantower outside the city, which is not so easy to reach🤔. The Iron Pagoda is 75 years younger than the Fantower, making it the second oldest building in Kaifeng🤗.
3. Kaifeng Iron Pagoda Park is right next to Henan University🎓, and it seems that there is a north gate of Henan University facing the Iron Pagoda😜.
4. Many friends from Kaifeng say that you can climb the Iron Pagoda🧗, maybe it was just that day......🤔
😜How about it, don't you want to go and see it?👀

In ancient times, the Kaifeng ancient city wall was once a large and sophisticated military defense system, mainly used for military defense against foreign invasion. Although the ancient city wall has lost its military role at the time, as a cultural symbol of the ancient capital of the Eight Dynasties, it has always been the pride of Kaifeng people. The Kaifeng City Wall is a building of the Qing Dynasty. It is 14 kilometers long, 11.3 meters high, 6.66 meters wide at the bottom, and more than 5 meters wide. It is covered with large blocks of bricks inside and outside. The outer walls of the city walls are neatly arranged with battlements and forts.

The ancient city of Kaifeng is the ancient capital of the Eight Dynasties. The most glorious period was thousands of years ago. As the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, it has passed through the nine generations of emperors for 168 years, leaving an indelible Song Dynasty culture for this ancient city. Songdu Imperial Street in Kaifeng City is a leisure street that mimics the architectural style of the Northern Song Dynasty.
The most direct reflection of the charm of an ancient city is no more than the ancient city wall. There are many city walls in many ancient cities in China. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, they were removed and removed. There is not much left. In ancient times, the easiest way to size a city was to look at the length of its walls. The wall of the city of Kaifeng is 14.4 kilometers long and 660 meters longer than the ancient city wall of Xi'an. It is second only to the ancient city wall of Nanjing. It is the second largest city in the Ming and Qing Dynasties in China. The existing city walls were mainly built in the Qing Dynasty.
At present, only 1.6 km of the city wall has been opened as a park for tourists to visit, the city wall introduces the knowledge of the ancient city wall, there are also costume shooting bases, teahouses and other leisure facilities.
The historical Kaifeng City has suffered from flooding and the city has been inundated and rebuilt many times. This is also the peculiarity of the ancient city wall. In the underground of the existing ancient city wall, there are five layers of walls buried in it. Kaifeng is a The city of the city.
The wall is very wide, you can walk or take a battery car. I recommend walking on foot. The night wall will also light the lanterns. The city is full of fire and silver flowers.

The historic city in the impression seems to be surrounded by walls, surrounded by ancient cities, built in the Ming Dynasty in the Nanjing Ming Dynasty Wall, the most intact and can be cycled on a bicycle. The ancient city wall of Xi'an has the aura of the ancient capital of the Eight Dynasties. Kaifeng, in the history of a thousand years of construction, how to get the city building that is as strong as a rock.
This ancient city wall, which was built in the Qing Dynasty and has a total length of 14.4 kilometers, has been listed as a national key cultural relics protection unit by the State Council. Although only 1.6 kilometers of the city wall is open to the outside world, most of it is still being repaired. However, due to its geographical location, it has been repeatedly invaded by floods in history. The whole city of Beijing has been inundated several times, and this ancient city has not been spared. It has been rebuilt many times, making it buried under the ancient city wall. The invisible five-storey city wall, therefore, Kaifeng is indeed a veritable city of the city.
History smoke has faded, no need to worry about flooding. The wall is covered with green trees and red flowers. The tall and thick walls of the brick building are also more soft. From 2014, Kaifeng City Wall was also listed. In the "China Ming and Qing City Walls" application, I believe that in the near future, we can see the more complete ancient city features, and the ancient city gates that will be built one after another will return to the world's vision one by one.
Walk the ancient city wall, like many locals coming and going, walking on the bricks, walking on the footsteps of the ancients, standing on the wall of the ancient city, watching the people who pass through the city, now no longer see Jin Ge Iron horse, with weapons in the era of the world.
