The temple and tower were first built in the Northern Zhou Dynasty or earlier, and were rebuilt in the Sui, Tang, Ming and Qing Dynasties. According to the Inscription on Rebuilding Manjuji, "When Sakyamuni was cremated, Samadhi got 84,000 pieces of Buddhist relics. Ashoka built a tower for each bottle, and Ganzhou Wooden Tower is one of them. " The wooden tower is 32.8 meters high and has eight sides and nine levels. Each floor of the octagonal has a wooden faucet with a treasure in its mouth and a wind chime hanging below it. The breeze blows and the bells are melodious. If you listen to Brahma Tianxiang, the "Wooden Pagoda Sparse Bell" is one of the eight scenic spots in ancient Ganzhou. The main body of the tower is made of wood, and the eaves are pavilions. The inner wall of the tower is made of hollow bricks, and each floor has doors, windows, buildings, cloisters and tower cores. The window is decorated with flowers and the lintel is inlaid with brick carvings. The whole tower body is not riveted with a nail, but connected with beams and columns by differential bucket arches, criss-crossing, knotted and integrated. I grew up listening to the lead on the wooden tower ...
Attractions 3 Zhenyuan Building, Zhangye City; Commonly known as the Drum Tower, it is located in the center of Zhangye, at the intersection of four streets, east, west, north and south. It is the largest existing Drum Tower in Hexi Corridor. In the second year of Zheng De in Ming Dynasty (1507), the building was built on a high brick platform with a base of 32 meters wide and 9 meters high, and the base was more than 30 meters away from the roof. The building is a three-story wooden tower with upturned cornices, carved beams and painted buildings, exquisite structure and magnificent shape. There is a "cross" hole on the base, which leads to the east, west, north and south and is connected with four main streets. There are plaques hanging around the building: Spring Rain in Jincheng in the east, Jade Crown and Xiaoyue in the west, Eye Snow in Qilian in the south, and Guyan Ancient Ranch in the north, which means to welcome Spring Rain in Jincheng in the east, send Jade Crown and Xiaoyue in the west, look at snow peaks in Qilian in the south and Juyan Ranch in the north, which is the central area connecting east, west and north.
At present, there is a Tang bell hanging in the southeast corner of the Drum Tower, which is made of copper-based alloy, exquisite in craftsmanship and magnificent.

In ancient times, this clock was often used to tell the time or send out a fire alarm. When you climb the building, you can see a panoramic view of the whole city. The four fields are far away, and homesickness is gathered in the city.
Attractions 4 Ganzhou Ancient Pagoda in Zhangye City; There are only wooden towers and earth towers, and wooden towers are pavilions. Built in the Great Buddha Temple, the pagoda is a bowl-covered pagoda, also known as Lama Pagoda. The bowl still retains the shape of the grave. Many of these pagodas were built by Zhang Ye, such as Qifeng Static Pagoda outside the East Gate, Baita Temple Water Tower outside the North Gate, Chongqing Temple Fire Pagoda outside the South Gate, and Anyang Gaosi Auspicious Pagoda, all of which were built for the cremation of the remains of monks, monks and lamas after their death, so people called them monk graves. The special artistic style of this tower is that the hollow tower with dense eaves is completely filled into a solid tower, and people can't climb to the top. A tall Sumi Mountain is added to the lower part of the tower, which is carved with rich images of Buddha, Bodhisattva, geisha and lion. Among the ancient pagodas in Zhangye, only the golden pagoda on the golden pagoda hall of the Great Buddha Temple is a pavilion-style single-storey square pagoda, in which the Buddha statue is placed directly. Because pavilions, although majestic and tall, are expensive, only emperors and rich people can build them, and ordinary people can do nothing about it. Therefore, in ancient buildings, the covered-bowl pagodas generally rise, while the pavilion pagodas gradually decline, so many ancient pagodas in Zhangye are covered-bowl lama pagodas. Zhangye is an important town on the Silk Road. Buddhism flourished rapidly after it was introduced into China. There are many Buddhist temples, Buddhists, morning bells and drums, and cigarettes, which attract some devout monks to visit and seek dharma. Among them, many western monks came, and then the form of building towers spread. Buddhism is spreading more and more widely and the number of pagodas is increasing.

He became a monk 1982, studied under Master Dading, graduated from Changsha College in Hunan Province with a college degree, and concurrently served as the executive director of the Buddhist Association of Gansu Province and a member of the Zhangye County Political Consultative Conference.

Originally, the temple was large in scale, consisting of memorial archway, mountain gate, Buddha Hall, Halloween Temple, Buddhist Sutra Hall, ancestral hall, monk's house, stupa, etc., and there were landscapes such as double-eyed wells, wooden claw trees, hexagonal pavilions and golden pagodas. Shiwan Hongzhong weighs more than 2,000 kilograms and has a loud voice. The temple is majestic and towering, and it is a quiet place.
Attractions 6 Zhuge Building, Zhangye City; Located in Youth West Street, Zhangye. When was it built? The whole temple is unique in architecture. Into the gate, facing you is a three-room hall, surrounded by cloisters, carved beams and painted buildings, solemn and solemn. Zhuge Lou was built on a mound, with a wooden structure resting on the top of the mountain and high-rise buildings rushing to the lonely hearts, which was a transitional style from Song and Yuan Dynasties to Ming and Qing Dynasties. On the front of the main hall is a statue of Zhuge, dressed in gossip clothes and holding a feather fan, which is solemn and elegant. The left and right piano boys share the piano sword. On the plaque, there are two titles: "Let us realize the future" and "Quiet and far-reaching". Another couplet: "The third call aggravated his state affairs; For two generations, he gave his heart, "Du Fu wrote in the Book of Letters, which is also the best summary and praise for Zhuge Liang. Now it is the residence of the Labor Street Government.

According to the four virtues of finance, officials, officials and longevity, the early years of Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty supervised the construction of Suning River. It is a stone arch bridge on the moat (also known as the moat), with a bluestone base and a memorial arch on it, which is very spectacular. There are stone carvings on this bridge, carved with dragon and tiger fighting, lion rolling hydrangea and plum orchid chrysanthemum and bamboo. These reliefs are well-balanced and well-proportioned, with extensive knife techniques, vigorous lines, exquisite carvings and vivid images. They are the unique stone and wooden bridges in Zhangye. On the archway, there are three huge and elegant plaques of "Four Mountain Bridges" and a couplet: "The moonlight on the bridge is picturesque; Listen to the sound of running water by the field. " Very impressive. Every summer, tourists will have a rest on the bridge and see the countryside, which makes them feel very interesting. Now, due to the needs of urban construction, it is converted into a cement bridge.

Zhangye Forest Park is divided into five major scenic spots: lakes and waters, central scenic spot, children's amusement park, miniature foliage, beach lake shadow and pilot demonstration exhibition.
Attractions 9 Dongshan Temple and West Wudang Mountain outside Zhangye City; Dongshan Temple is located in Heli Mountain, more than 30 miles east of Zhangye, where Guo He, a famous scholar in Jin Dynasty, lived in seclusion. There are doors, courtyards and temples, but there are no monks and no roads. It is up to pilgrims and tourists to keep the temple safe. Carved beams and painted buildings in the hall, especially the sculptures of "two dragons playing with pearls" and "three stars shining high" at the top of the hall, have unique shapes. The word "Linggong" is written on the forehead of the door, commonly known as "Hei Hu Hall". The worshippers stopped here to rest their horses, stepped into a narrow path that could only accommodate one person and walked for about five or six miles. Suddenly, between the cliffs of the two mountains, a long stream of water broke through the dense forest, broke out of the rocks, went out of the secluded fairyland, and went straight to the "Lingguan Hall" outside the two mountain gorges, dripping into the crevices and becoming an undercurrent. Looking up at the main peak, there are twenty temples, large and small, mostly Taoist priests in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The north of the main bee is called South Temple, and the south of the main bee is called North Temple. The highest point of the North Temple is Zhenwu Pavilion. The palace building is beautifully carved, with carved beams and painted buildings, overhanging eaves and hunchbacks, built on the mountain, climbing up at different levels and imposing. There is a huge statue of Li Laojun, the founder of Taoism, who has a kind heart and loves peace. The pavilions and terraces of the South Temple are green, mostly in the mountains. In the morning of Asahi, the haze is like Penglai fairyland. From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, Dongshan Temple is full of flowers and trees, echoing a green rhythm. West Wudang Mountain is located in Qilian Mountain, more than 70 miles west of Zhangye City. The scenery here is also beautiful, with many Buddhist temples and pleasant scenery. After passing Longshoubao, walk southwest along the foot of the mountain, and there is an ancient attic-style palace called Luo Jing Palace. Smoke curled up in the temple, bells rang and the tone was melodious. Build various temples according to the mountain situation. There are three cliff steps leading to the main peak, which is called Tianmen. Outside Tianmen, above the main peak, there is a large-scale and unique "Jinding" of Hongjun's ancestor. Yellow glazed tiles cover the roof and shine in the sun. There are two couplets on the temple pillar: one is "Spring breeze blows me through the clouds; Autumn frost welcomes guests and dispels fog. "The banner is On the Vertical Cloud. A trade union is "aspiring to be the middle way in the clouds;" Don't have the guts to look at people in the sky. "People in the sky. There is also a pine forest called "Songshuwa". When the pine blossoms are open, they are green and purple, the breeze blows, waves are everywhere, and Malik rushes. After the "pine hollow", it is a lonely place. Trees are green, rotten leaves are piled up, and the original vegetation is well preserved, which shows the natural scenery of Yuan Ye in the ancient gorge. From a distance, there are many shallow streams in the crevices on the mountain. According to legend, pigeons gathered in ancient times, also known as pigeon nests. Every summer, tourists are like clouds, white clouds are fluttering, gray pigeons are soaring, swallows are whispering, and grass insects are chirping, which makes people linger. At present, these two places of interest, mountains and rivers, trees and temples, are still there, and the scenery is still the same as before.
Attractions 10 Heishui National Site outside Zhangye City; Heishui ancient city, also known as Ganzhou ancient city, has a history of more than 4000 years. Heishuiguo Site is located at 12.5km in the northwest of Ganzhou, 15km in the north and south, and 10km in the east and west. It is a huge "historical ancient book" in Ganzhou, which integrates the ancient cities of Han and Tang Dynasties, prehistoric sites, ancient temple sites, ancient villages, ancient tombs, ancient human scenery, sand dunes, lakes, reeds and wetlands. According to legend, before the Western Han Dynasty, the Huns moved here and made Xinjiang the capital of Xiaoyue country. Because it is located on the black seashore, it is called "Black Water Country". Heishuiguo ancient city site is divided into two cities, north and south, about 3 kilometers apart. Cheng Nan is located in the south of National Highway 3 12 1 km, with a length of 258 meters from east to west and a width of 226 meters from north to south, with a total area of 58,000 square meters. Most of the existing city walls were built in the Ming Dynasty. There are many architectural sites in the city, and a large number of bricks of the Han Dynasty are scattered. Murals found in the site include stories such as The Journey to the West and Romance of the Three Kingdoms. It has high historical and artistic value. Beicheng is 2 kilometers north of National Highway 3 12, with a length of 245 meters from east to west and a width of 220 meters from north to south. The door opened in the south, and through the collapsed gate, I saw a ruin and scattered bricks, together with the undulating sand dunes around, as if through the tunnel of history. In the dark, I can vaguely hear the banging of fishways, the hawking of shops, the constant string of tea houses and the cries of despair when fleeing from the ancient city. It also seems to be standing at the height of history, clearly seeing the long years of Vietnamese grazing, the Sino-Hungarian war, the tea-horse trade, Enemy at the Gates, and the sandstorm destroying the ancient city; I saw the prosperous, tragic, calm and fragile historical interpretation of the ancient city; I saw the distant Han and Tang Dynasties. The ancient city ushered in the dawn for business travelers on the Silk Road and sent away the sunset. The scenic spots and historical sites here fascinate Chinese and foreign tourists, and many tourists come from afar to seek the past and control the seclusion. With the acceleration of tourism development in Ganzhou District, more Chinese and foreign tourists will come to visit and invest in development, and the site of Heishuiguo will become a new highlight of tourism in Ganzhou.
In the evening, you can go to Zhangye Square in the warm sun in the west, or you can go to the snack city near the Drum Tower. Zhangye's specialty snacks are many noodles, small rice and glutinous rice. What I miss most is gluten beef noodles. Although beef noodles are a feature of Lanzhou, our beef noodles in Zhangye are also great.
