Dingzhou was a historically important military town on the border between the Song and Liao dynasties. The Song used this tower to observe enemy movements, hence the name "Liao Die Tower." Emperor Zhenzong of the Northern Song Dynasty issued an edict for its construction in the fourth year of the Xianping reign (1001), and its completion was completed in the second year of the Zhihe reign (1055).
The tower, built on a high platform, is octagonal in plan, eleven stories, and 84 meters high, making it the tallest brick tower in my country. It consists of two floors, an inner and outer layer, with a veranda surrounding them. Doors are located on each floor, east, west, south, and north, and brick steps lead directly to the top floor. The ceilings of the second and third floor verandas are made of exquisitely carved bricks and decorated with colorful patterns. Niches on both walls of the tower originally housed murals and statues. The walls of the corridors on each floor are covered with numerous inscriptions and poems by famous figures from various dynasties.
I've been here several times and originally wanted to climb the tower, but the interior began undergoing major renovations on July 15th, which will take two and a half years. The roads surrounding the tower are also under construction, making it difficult to access the tower without making long detours.
One code allows two people to enter, but the gate can only scan one person, which is very inconvenient. I had to explain it to the check-in staff repeatedly before I was allowed in. It's a pity that I couldn't enter the tower because it was under renovation.

Hebei Yixian Lianxiang · Taihang Water Town - a good place for holidays around. The scenic spot is located in the core hinterland of Jingxiongbao. It has the theme of Taihang Mountain rural charm, creating a comprehensive cultural and tourism town that integrates folk experience, food and art display. Four groups : Folk village, homestay village, ecological farm, easy water leisure agricultural cultural tourism resort area, combined with medical, health and well-being life wing to form a multi-business integration. Night economy : It has night tour projects such as light and shadow show, and is rated as a national night cultural and tourism consumption gathering area. Surrounding resources : It is close to scenic spots such as Qingxi Mausoleum, Red Holy Land Langya Mountain and Yishui Lake, which form a tourism matrix. Two-day tour is just right!
After visiting Yishui Lake, I visited Taihang Water Town. It was just after the festival, so there were few tourists in the town in the afternoon. It was very windy, and there were not many shops open. It was a bit deserted overall. I found a noodle shop and ordered a bowl of noodles. The taste was homely and the portion was substantial. Without the bustling atmosphere of people jostling for position, the originally bustling streets were no longer filled with shouts and laughter. I always felt that the atmosphere was missing when I was walking around, and my interest was also somewhat reduced!
