铁塔

铁塔：位于开封内城西北角，城墙内。和繁塔一样经历了岁月冲刷，为仅存的两个宋代建筑。据说登塔顶可俯瞰整个开封并远眺黄河。登塔要收费的，我到时非旅游旺季售票处居然都不开，只得作罢。

The Iron Pagoda is much more beautiful in reality than in the photos. There is also a great park. If you are in Kaifeng, you just have to see the Iron Pagoda, I think it's almost like a symbol of the city.

始建于北宋皇祐元年的开宝寺塔屹立千年不倒，素有“天下第一塔”美名。通体为褐色琉璃砖，酷似铁铸，故称“铁塔”。不过在铁塔公园收费的前提下，登塔再收15元让游客感知很差。

其实如今的开封景点大部为仿古建筑，只留极少真迹，“铁塔”是开封仅存的两处北宋地面文物之一(另一是繁塔)，被誉为“天下第一塔”。，八角十三层。通体镶嵌褐色琉璃砖，颜色似铁色，故名“铁塔”。完全木有铁啥事儿。

我很喜欢去铁塔，首先他在历史名校河大的旁边，仅一门之隔，很有历史文化气息，其实铁塔并不是铁的，只是在时间的久远，把当年的砖块冲刷的像铁的颜色，故云铁塔，当年毛主席视察黄河的时候还特意来看过这个塔，其实这个塔才是开封历史的遗留物，其他的基本上是后来建的

เจดีย์เหล็ก ตั้งอยู่ที่สวนสาธารณะเมืองไคฟง เจดีย์นี้สูงถึง 55.88 เมตร เป็นเจดีย์ 8 เหลี่ยม 13 ชั้น สร้างปี พ.ศ.1592 สร้างในสมัยราชวงศ์ซ่ง(เหนือ) สร้างในสมัยพระเจ้าซ่งเหยินจง(ยุคเดียวกับเปาบุ้นจิ้น)

It's brick AND it's leaning! In any event, the pagoda is worth seeing, as are the water lilies throughout the park. There's a legend that you should walk clockwise around the pagoda to gain good fortune, so we did just that. It's one of the attractions in Kaifeng, and worth a short visit, although I'd avoid the over-priced shop selling Chinese embroideries and other "handicrafts."

Tie Ta is a pleasant stroll through gardens with statuary, a temple and along a small river. The pagoda itself is an 1000 year old structure built as a worship focus for Buddhists. Climbing the pagoda is no longer allowed for safety reasons.

Adjacent to Henan University old campus (but you cannot enter from the campus). Its impressive in that it was built around 900 AD (I think) and its still there. You can climb to the top (very narrow and hot in summer) and get a good view across Henan University campus and the city of Kaifeng (IF the air pollution is not too bad that day!). Pleasant gardens and lilly ponds. Its not iron, but its glazed brick gives it that appearance.

开封和洛阳,长安并称为中国3大古都。不过感觉和其他两个城市的差距很大。从郑州的高速公路走大概要1个多小时。那里的小笼包很出名,但是有名的店家里都客满了。只能在一些没名气的店吃了午饭。整体印象不好,只有这个铁塔,耸入云霄的感觉很不错,给我留下了深刻印象。
