Xinglong Tower

An ancient tower in my hometown, about 12 minutes by bike from my home. I have often passed by this tower since I was a child. At that time, it had not been fully developed, and people did not pay much attention to this seemingly ordinary building. This tower is called "tower on tower" because of its special shape. It is estimated that this tower has a history of 330 years. 

In the summer of 2008, the underground palace of the tower was stolen, and the locals learned from the news that there are many cultural relics in the tower.  It is now listed as one of China's national key protected cultural relics. The relics and inscriptions taken from the underground palace are of great value to the study of historical culture, Buddhist history, painting art, and production technology.
