    "Standing and staring under the Shiga Tower in Yingxian County, there is a touch of time spanning (in Sheli Shengsheng Tower, the red sun west slope, the pagoda, the rain in Yingxian wooden tower, the rain in the rain in Mengta). Li Bai Shiyun "Today people do not see the ancient moon, this month once photographed the ancient people. If the ancient people are running water, they can see the moon in total." The building that passes through time makes people think "Once there was someone standing in the same position and enjoying the same scenery, who was he? How was his life? Where did he come from?” The torrent of years, people are rushing to the south and the south in a moment, not to mention the people of thousands of years ago. At this moment, the proximity is really close at hand. Many people said that standing outside to take pictures and punch in is enough, but I still bought tickets and walked into the wooden tower, smelling the unusually strong ancient taste in the dim hall on the first floor, even if this land is only standing alone, I have to look back and touch it. It stood quietly in the small county town of Jinbei, in the wilderness of time, waiting for us for 968 years. Unfortunately, with the group tour, the contract includes scenic tickets, the result is only in the Muta scenic spot, not including the ticket at your own expense 50 yuan, I bought the ticket and only stayed for less than 20 minutes, the tour guide is going, it is recommended to come to Shanxi or free travel is better"
