I checked in at Hanting Hotel (Changzhi Shangdang Lidu Park Branch)

Check-in time: One of the world's three great Five-Phoenix Towers is hidden in a small village ▫️▫️Among the world's three renowned Five-Phoenix Towers, one is in Beijing's Forbidden City, another in Kyoto, Japan, and the third is surprisingly located in a small village in Changzhi, Shanxi. Its five-tiered flying eaves and intricate bracket structures are breathtaking, earning it the title of the most beautiful Five-Phoenix Tower. . ▫️▫️Legend says the Jade Emperor's five daughters—Golden Phoenix, Silver Phoenix, Jade Phoenix, Colorful Phoenix, and Emerald Phoenix—descended to earth without permission. When pursued by the Jade Emperor, they resisted fiercely. The tower was built to commemorate them. . 🔥Five highlights of the Five-Phoenix Tower: 1️⃣Mulberry Wood Ladder: A single wooden ladder inside the mountain gate's Five-Phoenix Tower, made from a whole mulberry tree, 7.13 meters high, with the tree estimated to be 500 years old when cut. . 2️⃣Vitex Wood Beams: Two painted beams inside the tower, about 50cm in diameter, made from vitex wood. Such large beams would require over 3,000 years of growth, highlighting their rarity and value. . 3️⃣Eight-Trigram Caisson Ceiling: Located at the top of the Offering Pavilion, the ceiling features exquisite bracket sets and hanging lotus carvings, showcasing incredibly refined wooden craftsmanship. . 4️⃣Broken Beam: The delicate Offering Pavilion is supported by a single broken beam that has withstood centuries of weather. The "broken beam" remains an unsolved mystery to experts. . 5️⃣Seven-Bracket Thirteen-Step Structure: One of the tower's marvels, found on the front eaves of the Lingxiao Hall. Its complex bracket system is extremely rare, unmatched even in the imperial capital. . 🎫Ticket: ¥15/person (purchased on-site) 🕙Opening hours: 8:00 AM–7:00 PM 📍Address: Nansong Village, Shangdang District, Changzhi City
