What travelers say:

Dingzhou Kaiyuan Temple Tower, also known as the enemy tower, because the tower is built in Kaiyuan Temple, so it is commonly known as "Kaiyuan Temple Tower". It is located in the Kaiyuan Temple on the east side of the south gate of Dingzhou City, Hebei Province. In the four years of Xianping in the Northern Song Dynasty (1001), Song Zhenzong built a tower in order to worship the Buddhist scriptures and Shelis that could be retrieved from ancient India, and the Northern Song Dynasty was built in the second year (1055), which lasted 55 years. Because Dingzhou is a military site close to Liao and Song, the Song Dynasty used this tower to look at the enemy in order to defend Khitan, so it was called "the enemy tower" (or "the enemy tower"). Dingzhou Kaiyuan Temple tower is an octagonal pavilion building, is a taller ancient brick tower in China, with a dignified and powerful shape. The tower body is ten levels, and the tower body is contracted from bottom to top. The inner structure of the tower is surrounded by the inner tower body, and the stairs circle from the inner tower body to the top of the tower body.

Dingxian Kaiyuan Temple Tower is a Buddhist tower integrating architectural art, Buddhist culture, calligraphy and painting art, which occupies an important position in the history of ancient Chinese architecture.
