木塔寺

Earlier this month as I was on holiday I decided to visit the Wooden Pagoda temple in Zhangye city.The original temple is no longer there but the current rebuilt temple was built in 1926. The entry fee to the Pagoda is only 5CNY and great value for money.After entering the Pagoda you pass a Buddha on the ground floor and ascend several flights of stairs to the top. The Tower is hexagonal in shape and some 32 metres high.Take care with the stairs to the top as they are very narrow.At the top of the Pagoda there are amazing views of Zhangye city ,including the Quilian Mountains to the south of Zhangye city that provide a great view on a clear day!The top of the Pagoda also is great for takiing photos so don't forget to take your camera!

#毕业旅行#万寿木塔寺。32.8米，九层塔。这是我爬过最最最陡的塔了，目测75度。我在塔顶做了半天思想准备，都没敢下去。

#狗饼##河西走廊# 木塔寺的楼梯跟华山的天梯有的一拼，要了老命了。过程越艰辛，结局越美丽。猜猜在塔顶可以看见什么？------ 祁连山脉的雪峰啊！祁连雪！太感动了

周末，偷得浮生半日闲，一游木塔寺遗址，可惜不是想象中幽静的场所，早已被开发商包围，太可惜了。

发表了博文 《木塔寺正午睡莲》 - 睡莲据说傍晚开得好。 但6月10日中午大太阳底下，c妹妹陪着我跑到木塔寺看睡莲。 天很热，花很小，还很少，少到我只见到了一朵半。 一朵黄，半朵白。

这个简单的木塔给了我很大的惊喜，因为之前知道他就是张掖城中的一个地标景观，而且经过近期的修建，对他的期望值并不是很高，但是真正看到的时候，发现他是一个融合了东西方文化艺术的作品。既有西方的飘逸性又有东方历史的厚重感，看上去非常的漂亮，而且配上蓝色的天空，好天气下显得更加的动人。

木塔寺，刚来兴奋的不是登上九级塔顶能望见祁连山和张掖全景，是塔周围盘旋的上千只也许更多的燕子，一会儿飞到木塔寺檐下，马上又能一起像是有感应一样一起在寺前的广场上低空飞翔，却一直是围绕这木塔寺哪儿也没去，配上这西北早早的太阳和蓝天，美不胜收！

张掖木塔位于城市中心区域 西夏古城旁边 中心为砖石结构 外层为木结构 共九层 塔身细长 风格独特 现存建筑为民国时期重建 使人印象深刻。塔内宗教气息逐渐被商业行为取代 售卖纪念品等活动 使人略感失望

Located almost in the middle of the city, the temple looks much better from the outside due to its amazing architecture and makes for some good potos from the large square just in front of it.Otherwise, some nice views of the city from the top and ... that's it. It's worth a quick stop.

这里是张掖的城中心，木塔寺维护得不错，晚上看上去也很漂亮，这里的广场晚间会有很多人在活动，很热闹，适合在夏夜来此散步
