What travelers say:

I thought that the town tower in Yungang was the Liao Tower, but the local anthology related information showed that it was the Jin Tower, which Jiajing rebuilt in 40 years. Given that Youyun 16 Prefectures were cut to Qidan by Shi Jing, Beijing's land was Liao when the Northern Song Dynasty. But in 11XX, that is Jin's territory, poor Southern Song! There are many legends about Zhengang Tower, and some are also related to the resistance to Japan. Interested friends can check the local anthem of Beijing. PS: The tower was founded in the Jin Dynasty (1115 - 1234). The location of the tower is a dragon vein. The tower builder only collapsed or moved away from the dinosaur vein. So he built the tower town and changed it to "Zhengang Tower". Ming Jiajing 40 years (1561) rebuilt. The tower brick structure, flat octagonal, solid, total height 18 meters. There are exquisite and simple brick carvings on the tower. Three meters on each side of the tower, 24 meters around, a flower tower. The upper part is made of brick and carved out of the arch, and the potted flowers in full bloom on the arch wall, the fierce beast head, the statue, etc., are extremely fine. The tower is short, the upper seat is placed, and the seat is supported by seven layers of Buddha, and the surrounding is a huge bouquet of cones. The first floor of the Buddha is a heavy pavilion-style square tower, and the second floor and above are single-story pavilion-style square towers. The first floor of the tower is surrounded by dense Buddhas. Each floor sits on the inner Buddha statue. Some hands are folded, and some hands are raised. From the second layer of the wheel above, each side of the carved Buddha statue is arranged neatly. The tower brake is covered with octagonal seat on the phase wheel, with huge treasure beads on the top, and the tower has a obvious appearance. There are not many such ancient towers in China. Repaired in 1958, 1982 and 2001.
