Zhaoqing is a thousand-year-old county💕Duanzhou Piyun Tower

#澳门隐世打卡位 Zhaoqing, this city full of charm, has a place that is like a time capsule, preserving the memories of thousands of years ago intact to this day, that is the Song Dynasty City Wall - Piyun Tower.

On top of this ancient city wall, the most eye-catching thing is the Piyun Tower. It was also built in the third year of Zhenghe in the Song Dynasty. Because the tower stands at the highest point of the northwest section of the city wall and is often surrounded by clouds and mist, it got its name and is also known as the "Feiyun Tower". Piyun Tower has been repaired and rebuilt eight times in history. After the reconstruction, two plaques were hung on the Piyun Tower, one was inscribed with "Piyun Tower" and the other was inscribed with: "The First State South of Lingbiao".

Today, the ancient city wall under our feet stretches quietly into the distance, as if telling the past that has been buried by the years. If you also like history and culture, and like to explore stories hidden deep in the years, then don’t miss Zhaoqing and don’t miss this charming Piyun Tower.

There are three floors in Piyun Tower. After going up, you can overlook the surrounding scenery. Friends who like Hanfu recommend taking photos here.
