这是华北四宝之一,定州塔。也是翻修一新。白色的,阳光下很耀眼。塔身饱满,很巍峨,这也切合此塔当年的功用——瞭敌塔!它最初是为了军事目的而建立的。现在,塔中墙上的涂鸦很多,佛像几乎不存,可惜了。
It is your average park with a large concrete area in front, some kite flying but the entrance is around the back. You need to pay to get in and there is a higher tourist fee (yeah they spotted me). There is a small museum about the tower up front, a buddhist shrine / prayer area, fortune teller, rock pillar and then the tower, which is narrow and steep but a fun climb to the top with lots of artwork to see.
这是位于定州市区的,共有十一层,高达83.7米的塔。是宋代建的塔,但维修的原因吧,外观看起来相当新。此塔的东北面角19世纪末期塌落过,后来修复了,塔前面有修复前的照片和介绍,损坏相当严重。现在外面都维修好了,看不出来,到里面较容易分得出来。可以爬到上面,能看到很远,但很遗憾,近处没有好看的建筑,远处为平原,看不到特别好看的风景。
定州开元寺塔,不同于我去过的所有古塔。它是最高的砖木结构古塔,而且楼梯也不是盘旋而上,是直径斜上的。塔里的小佛龛,陡峭的楼梯,壁画都让我惊叹
