辽阳白塔公园

发表了博文 《辽阳白塔（二）》 - 2013蛇年春节期间，找了一个晴朗的日子再一次来到历史名城——辽阳，这是我第十次来到辽阳。白塔公园的围墙已拆，节日期间，游人如织（下面二图）。 辽阳白塔（下图）

离着辽阳火车站非常近，在辽阳宾馆就能看到公园里的那座白塔，公园规模很大，而且不需要门票，非常棒，如果不是星期天的话，人也不多，公园里会感觉很安静，感觉很不错，尤其是那座大白塔，看着非常有意思，虽然是佛塔，但是塔身上却能看到其他教派内容，这估计是契丹风格原因，传说塔内还有舍利，不过现在没有对外开放

今天来到了辽阳白塔公园了！周日的人也不是很多，天气真是阳光明媚，真是适合旅游的天气~但这里天气真的是老冷厄，只有5摄氏度~

White Tower Park is a a gem hidden in a busy city. In winter, the frozen lake in the park is kept clear for skaters. There is a huge area by a beautiful pagoda that has an ice pad the size of an NHL hockey rink, surrounded by a speed skating oval, and nearby is another skating area reserved for kids and new skaters practicing their skills. The pagoda is a great backdrop for pictures of skating and hockey in China.

广佑寺塔，建于辽代，明代时曾经大修，塔身高71米，是辽宁古塔之冠，塔壮的高台即为广佑寺遗址。是省级文物保护单位。塔身为八角。每一角小有小佛像五个，上有菩萨坐与莲花至上，两位尊者站立于旁。

首先,地图上关于这个景点的位置是错误的。从火车站出来,朝东南方向走一小段路就可以到公园。周末,主干道上会有一些卖商品和小吃的小贩(天气好的时候)。门票是50人民币,但是淡季的时候这里不是常常有售票员,所以你可以径直走进去。景区里有一座历史悠久的寺庙,但是现在的建筑是二战后重建的。寺庙很大,而且保养得很好(颜色鲜艳)。在最主要的寺庙里有一座很大的坐姿佛像。此外,这里还是白塔的原址(这个公园也被称为白塔公园)。公园里还有一个漂亮的鱼塘。这是一个漂亮地方,午后可以来这里逛一下。

Probably the best part of Liaoyang, smallish park with some very old amusements for children, but lake and Koi Carp very good

我们住在对面的辽阳宾馆，一大早就去白塔公园溜达了，门外全是摆摊的，跟庙会一样，乱糟糟的，里面大多数都是晨练的人。白塔据说是辽代的，印象已经不深了

The White Pagoda of Liaoyang is one of the most impressive ancient monuments in the northern part of China. A 70 metre high tower dating back to the second half of the 12th century, this thirteen-storey brick pagoda has survived the last 800 years in surprisingly good shape. Octagonal in shape, the pagoda has Buddha figures on all eight sides, each one flanked by two towering attendants. Angelic beings known as asparas drift overhead. The tower is set besides a carp pond, which was all but frozen over at the time if our midwinter visit. There are other temple and monastic buildings nearby, though none have the great antiquity of this ancient tower.
