Henan Luoyang "Qiyun Tower"

When visiting China's oldest temple, the White Horse Temple in Luoyang, the nearby Qiyun Tower is a must-see. Originally part of Qiyun Temple, the tower was first built during the Eastern Han Dynasty and later rebuilt during the Jin Dynasty, giving it a history of over 800 years. It is considered the finest Jin Dynasty architectural relic in the Central Plains region. The tower's design combines the characteristics of Tang-style pagodas, featuring a simple yet majestic structure. Its imposing presence and unique charm can be felt even from afar, making it a stunning highlight within the White Horse Temple scenic area. Tips: Admission to the White Horse Temple includes access to Qiyun Tower. After entering the ticket checkpoint, visitors don't need to head directly to the main entrance of the White Horse Temple. Instead, take a leisurely stroll to the east side of the entrance, pass through a tranquil grove, and you'll find Qiyun Tower nestled among the greenery. Continue walking east along the path, and you'll arrive at the base of the tower. Additionally, Qiyun Tower boasts a unique echo effect—clapping or calling out softly will produce clear echoes, adding a touch of mystery and fun to this ancient structure.
