Exploring the stunning ancient architecture in Yuncheng, Shanxi left me in awe

Who would have thought such a divine ancient building was hidden in this small town! Ladies, let’s go✨ Feiyun Tower, located in Wanrong County, Yuncheng, Shanxi, truly amazed me~ Known alongside Ying County Wooden Pagoda as the "South Tower and North Pagoda," it is considered the pinnacle of ancient Chinese wooden architecture! Compared to the modern replicas of the "Four Great Towers," this is the real "China’s Number One Wooden Tower"! 👍 📍Address: No. 8 West Street, Wanrong County, Yuncheng City, Shanxi Province ⏰Opening Hours: 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM (Open year-round) 💰Ticket Price: 10 RMB (So reasonable!) 🚗Transportation: Recommended to drive or hire a car ✨【Must-Visit for Architecture Enthusiasts】 Built during the Ming Zhengde period, the current Feiyun Tower was restored in the Qing Qianlong era~ yet it still retains the architectural style of the Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties! The 23-meter-high building looks like it has three floors but actually has five (with two hidden floors), all made of wood! Not a single nail was used, relying entirely on exquisite mortise and tenon joinery! Touching those towering pillars, you can feel the weight of history~ 🌈【Four Stunning Highlights】 1️⃣ Perfect Mortise and Tenon 32 wooden pillars arranged like a chessboard! Four towering pillars pierce the sky~ No nails or iron, ancient craftsmen are the best! 👏 2️⃣ Brilliant Bay Windows The 2nd and 3rd floors each extend a "small balcony" Protected by railings + facing mountain flowers Ancient design wisdom at its finest! 3️⃣ Bracket Set Feast 345 sets of cloud-like brackets Shaped like blooming flowers Eaves curve lightly, truly a flying cloud feeling! ☁️ 4️⃣ Lively Winged Corners 32 armored warriors on the pointed corners Wind chimes jingling Every snap is a poetic masterpiece 📸 📸【Photo Tips】 Sunny days are best for photos! The wood carving details shine beautifully in sunlight Don’t miss the red lantern corridor pillars for a must-take shot Remember to take a photo with the stone lion sculpture Here are some perfect spots: - Front full view - Close-up of wood carvings - Red lantern corridor - Photo with stone lions 💡Travel Tips: Plan for about 2 hours Wearing Hanfu for photos is highly recommended Bring sunscreen and water There are plenty of delicious local foods nearby to explore 🌳This place is not only a paradise for architecture lovers But also a treasure trove of photo spots for photographers!
