My route: Chaoyin Bridge - Feiying Tower - Pangong Bridge [Sun] Chaoyin Bridge: One of the three wonders of Huzhou, the "Bridge within a Bridge"! It was listed as the eighth batch of national key cultural relics protection units in 2019. It is one of the eight ancient bridges with interchange model in Zhejiang Province. Chaoyin Bridge is a three-arch stone bridge. The middle of the bridge top is paved with stone slabs and the steps are wide, so pedestrians do not feel tired when going up and down. The railings on both sides are made of stone, where pedestrians can rest. The bridge foot piles are densely packed and very deep, and can stand still for thousands of years. There are two large white stone lions, male and female, at the end of the guardrails at both ends. There is also a pair of water-absorbing beasts carved on the arch shoulders on both sides of the hole in the middle of the bridge, which are meant to stabilize the bridge, ward off evil spirits and ensure safety. People can walk on and under the bridge. [Rainbow] Tips: It is accessible by bus and is near Lianhuazhuang Park, so you can visit it along the way. You can go up the Chaoyin Bridge, and it is very cool leaning against the Wuwang Bridge. It is very suitable for cooling off in the evening in summer. [Sun] Feiying Tower: One of the three wonders of Huzhou, the "tower within a tower" was built in the fifth year of Emperor Yizong of the Tang Dynasty. Feiying Tower has two floors, inner and outer. There is a stone tower inside, and an outer tower with a brick and wood structure is built outside the stone tower, forming a "tower within a tower". In January 1988, the State Council approved it as a key cultural relic protection unit at the national level. [Rainbow] Tips: You can climb the tower from Feiying Tower. Climbing stops at 16:30 and the park closes at 17:00. The park closes at 17:30 during daylight saving time. There is a Xu Zhongliang pastry shop opposite Feiying Park, the taste is good! [Sun] Pan Gong Bridge: It is also a national key cultural relic protection site. It is located at the confluence of the Tiaoxi River and the Qianxi River at the north gate of Huzhou. It was built by Ming Shangshu Pan Jixun (1521-1595), so it is named "Pangong Bridge". Pan Gong Bridge and Pan Xiao Tomb are both ranked seventh among the national rankings. [Rainbow] Tips: There are buses to get there, but you still need to walk about one kilometer. If you have enough time, you can walk to Xiangwang Park. The shops along the river are also good for taking photos.

Feiying Tower Suddenly I climbed the highest tower and my vision expanded to the entire world. Following the footsteps of Su Shi, who chanted and walked slowly, we came to Feiying Pagoda. The wonderful thing about this Song Dynasty pagoda is that it is a "tower within a pagoda", that is, there is a stone pagoda inside the wooden pagoda, and the wooden pagoda was built to repair the stone pagoda. There is nothing special about the wooden tower from the outside. White stone tower, white stone building, White pagoda and white stone building, White stone and white tower If you make a mistake, try again. [Cute] As soon as I entered the stone tower, I immediately understood the meaning of the tower within a tower. Huzhou in 1709 should have been the most embarrassing moment for Su Shi because of the Wudai Poetry Case. However, as time goes by, Feiying Tower is still like a cave temple built inside the tower. The exquisite statues transcend time and are amazing.

The real Tower of Babel, the only tower within a tower in China🌸 🌟Feiying Tower is located in Wuxing District, Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province. Feiying Tower is an octagonal seven-story pavilion-style tower. It was first built between the fourth year of Tang Zhonghe and the first year of Tang Ganning (884-894). The original name of Feiying Pagoda was "Shari Stone Pagoda". Later, it was renamed "Feiying Pagoda" based on the meaning of "Shari Flying Wheel's Brilliant Light Shines Everywhere" in Buddhist scriptures. This name is still used today. Feiying Tower is an octagonal seven-story pavilion-style tower, consisting of two towers, the inner tower is a small stone tower, and the outer tower is a large pavilion-style tower with brick walls, wooden eaves and a wooden platform, which is wrapped around the small stone tower. Feiying Tower consists of an inner tower and an outer tower. The Buddhist stories and decorative patterns carved on the Feiying Pagoda are meticulously crafted, reflecting the devout pursuits of religious believers. Because of the protection of the large external tower, the finial of the large tower fell down, so that only part of the eaves and platform of the small tower were destroyed, and the overall appearance of Feiying Tower was preserved relatively intact. Feiying Tower has left behind a lot of historical information about Song Dynasty architecture and is of high value. On January 13, 1988, Feiying Tower was announced by the State Council of the People's Republic of China as the third batch of national key cultural relics protection units.

Huzhou Feiying Tower is now open. It is a perfect time to take photos of the lotus pond during the rainy season. Store name: Feiying Park Location: No. 155, Taxia Street, Wuxing District, Huzhou City Business hours: 08:30AM-17:00PM Tickets: Free tickets to Feiying Park; Feiying Tower: 20 yuan/ticket Game guide: The summer in Feiying Park must belong to the beautiful lotus pond. The entire pond is covered with lotus leaves, and a large area of ​​lotus flowers are also in bloom. If you climb up the Feiying Tower, the bird's-eye view should be great~ Recommended photo spots: Stand under Yunhai Tower to take pictures of Feiying Tower and lotus flowers, stand on the West Pavilion or the small bridge opposite to take pictures of Yunhai Tower, stand on the small bridge opposite to take pictures of West Pavilion~ If you have a telephoto lens, you can take close-up photos of the lotus at this time. If you don’t have a telephoto lens, you can take photos of lotus leaves and water droplets. It’s also good to leave some blank space. After all, it’s not that hot to take photos on rainy days~ It's quite artistic to bring an umbrella and wear Hanfu to take photos on rainy days. There are few people and the photos are good. You can also drink tea, listen to the rain, and chat and laugh with friends in Yunhai Tower, which is really comfortable~

The Wu-Yue Kingdom only lasted for 72 years, but it was one of the peaks in the history of ancient Chinese pagoda construction. The Buddhist pagodas built by the Wu-Yue Kingdom were mainly tower-style pagodas, with a majority being brick pagodas imitating wooden tower structures. During the Tang Dynasty, multi-storied tower-style brick pagodas appeared, with limited restoration of wooden structures. The Wu-Yue Kingdom, however, created a batch of exquisite brick pagodas imitating wooden structures, exploring a 'realistic' imitation pattern. The brick body and wooden eaves pagodas of the Wu-Yue Kingdom not only closely resembled the appearance of wooden tower-style pagodas on the exterior but also explored the use of imitated wooden elements to piece together facades inside the pagoda, striving for consistency in construction details with wooden structures. These pagodas were widely popular in the Jiangnan region during the Song Dynasty and continued until the early Ming Dynasty. The Feiying Pagoda in Huzhou was started in the fourth year of the Tang Dynasty's Zhonghe era (884) and was a brick body and wooden eaves pagoda built during the Wu-Yue Kingdom period. The construction took a whole ten years, and it is known as one of the 'Three Wonders of Huzhou' along with the Prefectural Temple (a temple within a temple) and the Chaoyin Bridge (a bridge within a bridge). The Feiying Pagoda has an inner and an outer structure, with the 'pagoda within a pagoda' being a rare structure nationwide. The inner pagoda is an imitation wooden tower-style, with eight sides and five stories; the newly repaired outer pagoda is a mixed brick and wood structure, with eight sides and seven stories.

Huzhou's Feiying Pagoda is quite unique, with a wooden pagoda encasing a stone one, creating the peculiar 'pagoda within a pagoda' structure. The inner stone pagoda was built in the fourth year of the Tang Dynasty's Zhonghe era to store Buddhist relics. During the Northern Song Dynasty's Kaibao era, a new wooden pagoda was constructed around the stone one, forming the current layout. Feiying Pagoda is located within Feiying Park, which is open to the public for free. However, there is a fee to climb the pagoda. It is also a national cultural heritage site. This time, it underwent the largest scale renovation in forty years, with an estimated repair time of 150 days. It is set to reopen on May 22nd, which is quite unfortunate. I also visited the Prefectural Temple, another of the three wonders, which is the Huzhou City God Temple. It was originally built during the Five Dynasties and Later Tang period and was relocated to its current site during the Ming Dynasty's Hongwu era. Most of the existing buildings were constructed later, and the scale is not large. The surrounding area is an antique market, which has significant cultural meaning.

📍155 Taxia Street, Wuxing District, Huzhou City ⏰Business Hours: 08:30AM-17:00PM 🎫Tickets: Free admission to Feiying Park 'Feiying Tower: 20 yuan/ticket' 📝Travel Tips: Feiying Park is a small yet exquisite classical garden park in the downtown area of Huzhou. If the summer lotuses make the park stand out, then the autumn and winter red maples paired with Feiying Tower are equally stunning~ The park has many pavilions and towers worth checking in, including Yunhai Building, Xiting, Momo Pavilion, and the archway in front of Feiying Tower. It is recommended to try shooting from different angles, and to bring Hanfu for a guaranteed beautiful photo~ Feiying Tower has a rather unique 'tower within a tower' structure. For those who are afraid of heights, be cautious when climbing. The stairs inside are really narrow, but once you reach the top, you can see the entire cityscape, and the overhead shooting effect is truly impressive~ For specific photo spots, refer to the pictures; several overhead shots were taken from Feiying Tower~ Whether departing from Shanghai or Hangzhou, it is very convenient to get to Huzhou. After visiting Feiying Park, you can go to the opposite Xu Zhongliang's traditional Dingsheng cake shop to buy a souvenir, making the trip perfect~

The 'Pagoda within a Pagoda' refers to the Feiying Pagoda, which is a unique structure consisting of two pagodas, one inside the other; the inner one is made of stone, while the outer one is constructed of brick and wood. The 'Bridge under the Bridge' represents the Chaoyin Bridge, where a smaller bridge was built under a three-arch stone bridge. The 'Temple within a Temple' refers to the Prefectural Temple, that is, the Huzhou City God Temple, which includes a temple dedicated to the memory of Ming Dynasty officials who were like parents to the people of Huzhou.

I like mountain hiking. If I can’t get away from the city and go to the mountains, then I will definitely stay in the city’s “mountains” - parks. Seeing green will make you feel better, more so than Cassia seed. Clear eyes and clear mind! Feiying Park is located in Taxia Street. It is a public park often visited by locals, especially the elderly. When I went there in the morning, 99% of the people in the park were grandpas and grandmas, hahahaha The rain did not stop everyone from going out. Summer is here and the lotus season is here too. When I entered the park, I realized that the pond was already full of lotus flowers. The lotus leaves are endless and green, and the lotus flowers are red in the sun Don't be too comfortable in the quiet and cool park on a hot summer day Feiying Park was built in 1996 and named after the Feiying Tower, a national key cultural relic protection site. Feiying Tower was built between the fourth year of Tang Zhonghe and the first year of Tang Ganning. Its unique architectural structure is a "tower within a tower". It is a unique example in China and consists of two towers, the inner tower is a small stone tower, and the outer tower is a brick wall with wooden eaves.
