|Glazed tile tower, standing for a thousand years. Kaifeng Iron Tower|Glazed tile tower, standing for a thousand years. The tower is a free attraction. It's written online that it's temporarily closed, but in reality, it's just that you can't go up the tower, the exterior is completely fine. Experts speculate that the Iron Tower was completed during the reign of Emperor Shenzong of Song, it is a true relic. The Iron Tower is not made of iron, but of brown glazed tiles, looking like an iron pestle from afar. When it was built, the Iron Tower was called the Kaibao Temple Tower, and it was not until the Yuan Dynasty that people started calling it the Iron Tower. The tower is 55.88 meters high, with eight corners and thirteen floors. This tower looks really tall up close, and if you look closely, you'll find that its door hole is also very special, not round, but narrower at the top and wider at the bottom, with five bricks stacked on each side, making it more sturdy. Despite the changes of dynasties and the baptism of war, the Iron Tower still stands firm. In the evening, looking at the Iron Tower, the afterglow of the setting sun, the reflection of the tower in the lake, the atmosphere is full. In the park, there are also Taihu stones from the Song Dynasty, as well as the works of horticultural masters at the Chrysanthemum Festival. The Iron Tower Park is really a surprising existence.
