After getting drunk, you don't know that the sky is in the water, and a boat full of clear dreams presses the galaxy. "# A small city with national style. Don't miss a scene from an ancient poem in Wuyuan, Jiangxi. I encountered it in Huizhou, a city that never sleeps. I dare say that the night view of Wunv Su Zhou is the most stunning golden combination of flowing light. The gem like blue tower is more than 30 kilometers away from the ancient town. There is also a summer limited non heritage performance of small fire pots burning knives to make iron flower benches. The dragon fireworks show seems to have traveled back to the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty! The following is a clear summary of the nanny's play and attack that I have left Wunv Su Zhou six times in the evening!! Wang Qian 1. Don't run on the wrong road, don't miss the performance, don't get dirty, don't heat up, don't sunbathe

The beauty of the East at night in Wu Nv Su Zhou is not encouraged anymore for those who have never left! No dreams, summer nights with lanterns and night tours. Only those who have witnessed the brilliant years with their own eyes know how exquisite the Eastern aesthetics of Lu Wu Nu Su Zhou are at night!! Date of establishment: Three sessions per day, nine locations: Li Baoyu Tower Square Fire Eliminating Evil, Hundred Homes Peaceful. Watch a folk skill called "Fire Pot" bathed in a sea of fire. Under the dance performance, the flames rise and rise, more shocking than movie special effects! 1. Fire Pot Art 2. It's Not About Eating Iron Flowers. 7. Date: The scenic area is filled with colorful performances all year round, with gold everywhere. Iron flower artists go to the battlefield shirtless, throwing iron bars at 1600 degrees into the sky. In an instant, iron flowers splash everywhere, and the sticks are connected presenting an ultimate romance.

Does the Ruiguang Pagoda really have auspicious light?
There is a Ruiguang Pagoda in Suzhou, which is said to have been built by Sun Quan, the ruler of the Eastern Wu during the Three Kingdoms period, to repay his mother's kindness. He constructed a 13-story stupa.
After the pagoda was completed, Sun Quan personally went to worship, which made this pagoda extraordinary.
Not only did a person of high authority visit to worship, but the pagoda often emitted five-colored auspicious light, hence it was named Ruiguang Pagoda.

The dougong on the outer wall of the Ruiguang Pagoda: Divided into waist eaves dougong and flat seat brackets, the waist eaves dougong has two types of supplementary paving and corner paving, the supplementary paving is a five-paving single dougong with a heart scroll head, among which the supporting wall dougong is brick carved, one layer of supporting wall dougong is carved as heavy dougong, that is, mud road dougong, slow dougong. The corner paving uses round bricks for dougong, with three seams of splendid dougong on top, the front and side seams are the same as the supplementary paving, plus one seam of corner splendid dougong.
