Shanxi Tourism | The spectacular Haihui Temple Twin Towers next to the Imperial City Mansion

Jincheng Haihui Temple was first built in the first year of Tang Zhaozong's Qianning (894), and now there are the hexagonal seven-level relic tower of the second year of the Later Liang Longde (922) and the octagonal thirteen-level Tathagata tower built during the Ming Jiajing and Longqing periods, which are decorated with glazed hanging pavilions, respectively about 20 meters and nearly 60 meters high. The Daxiong Treasure Hall was built in the fifteenth year of Ming Chenghua (1479). Jincheng Yangcheng County Haihui Temple Twin Towers: The taller one is Ming construction, with glazed outer walls; the shorter one is Song construction. The tower itself is not surprising, the special feature is that you can climb the Ming tower with a history of 500 years for a tower climbing fee of 30 yuan. Thirteen floors, 50 meters, equivalent to 18 floors. The passage is extremely narrow and steep, only allowing a thin person to go up and down sideways. There is a round wood in the center of the top floor for you to embrace. Inside the thirteen-story tower, the lower floors are still being repaired, and the stairs have been replaced with green bricks; the stairs on the upper floors are still made of whole stones from the Ming Dynasty, but they have been stepped on by tourists for 500 years, and the whole is sunken and shaped like footprints. I saw (and stepped on) stones that had been worn down by human feet for the first time. Climbing the tower is both exciting and happy, as if climbing along 500 years of time. However, Haihui Temple is not on the straight line between Jincheng and Changzhi, and it takes an extra 65 kilometers to go back and forth from Jincheng, and an extra half day is needed for arrangement.
