Linfen | This tower is so tough! You must have never been

The thousand-year-old "old internet celebrity" in Quwo County, built in the Song Dynasty and repaired in the Jin Dynasty, half of the earthquake collapsed, but the broken tower is still dominant!
What are the highlights❓️
1. Full of vicissitudes of life:
There were originally 12 floors, but now there are only five floors left, about ten stories high. The cracks in the bricks are filled with the flavor of history.
The tower has imitation wood brick carved windows and door frames. If you get closer, the details are super exquisite. The craftsmanship of Song Dynasty craftsmen is excellent!
2. Folklore Blessing:
The older generation calls this tower the "Water Town Tower", which was built to control the floods in Quwo. Although you can't see where the water is now, the story sounds quite addictive.
Practical information:
Location: Northwest corner of Quwo County Town, navigate to find the "Sensor Temple Tower" to find it, the county town is not big, you can walk across it.
Tickets: Free! free! free! (Important things need to be said three times)
Surrounding eggs: There are Quwo Old Street and Si Pai House nearby. Take a walk and eat, and then have a bowl of Quwo Lamb Soup. Great!
Warm reminder:
Those who are not interested in history may think "that's it?", but those who like ancient architecture are definitely worth a look!
You can go for a walk if you pass by Quwo, but don't expect so high if you are specifically looking at the tower 😉
