    Quanzhou East and West Towers are famous historical and cultural attractions in China. This is a landmark building in Quanzhou, as well as Haisi cultural attractions and world cultural heritage. The East and West Towers could be climbed a long time ago, and there were night view lighting decorations. Now they are gone and can only be watched. The east and west towers at sunset are very good, find a rooftop to enjoy. Close to the east and west towers, you can see the floating statues on the tower, please explain to a tour guide, awesome.

These two stone towers are the treasures of Quanzhou, looking at the world, there are not many cities with such a pagoda view in the city center.

    Located in Kaiyuan Temple, also known as the Town State Tower and Renshou Tower, built in more than 800 and 900 AD, respectively, the statues of the two towers are different and show different Buddhist stories. The East and West Towers are located on the east and west sides of the front of Kaiyuan Temple in Quanzhou. The two towers are about 200 meters apart and each occupy an area of about 50 square meters. The East Tower is called the "Town State Tower". The five-story wooden tower was built by the advocate Wenxuan Zen Master in Xiantong for six years (865 AD). After several destruction and renovations, Yimu is brick. In Jiaxi's two years (1238 AD), Benhong Master was easy to brick as a stone, and then was built by the magistrate of the law, the magistrate of Tianxi, and it took ten years to complete. The east tower is 48 . 24 meters high, and the tower plane is divided into four parts: cloister, outer wall, inner cloister and octagonal column. The tower is a frame structure. The central column of the tower is straight through each layer, which is the support of the whole tower. The tower wall uses processed granite, stacked in a crisscrossing method, and the calculation is accurate and the construction is dense. The solid foundation, with a solid tower heart that conforms to the principles of mechanics, has made the building weighing more than 10,000 tons unmoving despite more than 700 years of wind, frost and rain. The magnitude 8 earthquake of 1604 AD cannot shake its foundations.

    The landmark building of Quanzhou Ancient City, built in the Song Dynasty, is very shocking. After the Ming Dynasty earthquake, it has not collapsed. The tower is five floors high and is the highest stone tower in China. Every tower has a Buddha statue.
