——I didn’t stay in Chifeng for long. After visiting the Liao Dynasty Memorial Hall, I became very interested in the Ming Dynasty Pagoda and the Jin Dynasty Small Pagoda. I spent the remaining half day to see these ancient pagodas from thousands of years ago. . 👉Liao Daming Pagoda The Daming Pagoda is located in the Liao Zhongjing ruins in Nancheng Village, Tianyi Town, Ningcheng County, Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. It is a 100-kilometer drive from Chifeng City to Ningcheng County. There is a speed limit throughout the journey and it takes about an hour and a half to drive there. It was originally called Daning Pagoda. There are still disputes about the time when the pagoda was built. One theory is that it was built between the 25th year of Tonghe of Liao Dynasty and the fourth year of Shouchang (1007-1098 AD). Another theory is that it was built in the fourth year of Chongxi period of Liao Dynasty. The pagoda is octagonal and has 13 floors. The dense-eaves solid brick tower has a total height of 80.22 meters, a base diameter of 36 meters, and a circumference of 112 meters. It is the only existing building in the Liaozhongjing site😊 . 👉Jin Dynasty Small Pagoda The Jin Dynasty Small Pagoda is 2.5 kilometers away from the Daming Pagoda and a 5-minute drive. It was built in the Dading year of Jin Dynasty (1163). The total height of the tower is 24 meters, the plane is octagonal, and the base is 33 meters long. It is a brick-built thirteen-level small tower with dense eaves and no platform around it. It rises from the ground. The bottom floor is a base, 2.7 meters high. The tower is a small tower. style, there is a small Buddhist niche in the south, with brick-carved orbs and flames to seal the top. . ——The two ancient pagodas located in the fields echo each other. Looking down from the air, it reminds people of the grand scene of Liao Zhongjing. It also makes people sigh that these two stone pagodas are the only remaining buildings, and There is another half-section tower about 3 kilometers away from these two towers. These three towers now constitute the most important ground buildings in the Liao Zhongjing ruins. They are also here in Chifeng. It is the most intuitive monument of the Liao Dynasty at close range. 🙂 . 📍Address: Daming Pagoda is located in Tianyi Town, Ningcheng County, Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region

💰Tickets: The tickets for the scenic area are a bit expensive, 80 yuan per person, and 120 yuan per person for a small package, including tickets, sightseeing bus and Wild Man Valley performance. The price is constantly changing, so it is recommended to consult the service area of the scenic spot. If you have the physical strength, it is recommended to buy a one-way uphill ticket and walk down from Tuhe Spring (a bit far, starting at 5 kilometers). 🚂Take the bus: After checking the ticket and entering the scenic area, turn right and you will see the waiting area. First take the sightseeing bus to Holke, then transfer to the small train to Tuhe Spring. You need to keep your ticket for inspection.

|The French Fry Mountain, formed 10 million years ago, is so spectacular. Nanjing | The French Fry Mountain, formed 10 million years ago, is so spectacular. In my notes yesterday, I introduced Lianshan Bashang Grassland to you. It can be seen that everyone is very interested in a one-day trip to Liuhe. Next, we would like to introduce another attraction on this line, Liuhe National Geopark, which is a 20-minute drive from Lianshan Grassland. Liuhe National Geopark is the first national geopark in Nanjing. More than ten years ago, I learned about the magic of Shitiao Mountain in "National Geographic China", which we also call "French Strip Mountain". Now, the world's rare "Stone Pillar Forest" of Guizi Mountain has finally been discovered in Nanjing. After investigation and demonstration by geological experts and scholars from New Zealand, Australia and China, This is where the volcano erupted 9 to 10 million years ago. The basalt magma sprayed onto the ground, cooled, slowly shrank and cracked, forming "columnar joints" in different shapes, such as hexagonal and pentagonal. The arrangement is orderly and spectacular. Of course, all the volcanoes in Nanjing Liuhe area are extinct volcanoes. There is free parking in the scenic area. Tickets are 18 yuan, and annual park passes are available. If you are interested in Yuhua Stone, you can drive 20 minutes south to visit Liuhe Yuhua Stone Geological Park, where you can really pick up Yuhua Stone!

At the beginning of the 17th century, Lin Dan Khan succeeded to the throne and was eager to change the declining situation of the Mongol Khan's power, but he failed to use his political influence and wisdom as a legitimate member of the Golden Family to unite his fellow tribes against outsiders. Instead, he waged brutal wars of annexation against the various tribes of Eastern Mongolia, leading to fratricidal strife and bloodshed among his own people. During Lin Dan Khan's several suppressions, the powerful Khalkha tribe, originally under the jurisdiction of Tumen Khan, disintegrated, and the population owned by the Golden Family's Taiji was almost wiped out in the wars, with only the descendants of Genghis Khan's meritorious minister Zerem and the Uladha people's tribes preserved, whose leader Subudi replaced the Golden Family as the new lord of the Khalkha tribe. In 1635, Subudi and his brother Wandan Wei Zheng were conferred titles in the Khalkha Right Wing Banner, and soon after, Subudi's son Gulusiqibu inherited the title of Zasak of the Khalkha Right Wing Banner and was ennobled as a county king. Subudi's uncle Seleng was also ennobled as a Duke of the State in 1648, and his tribes were placed in the Khalkha Left Wing Banner. Wandan Wei Zheng, despite his outstanding achievements, did not become a Zasak of a banner until his death, perhaps to appease his son Erenchen, who was orphaned and dependent on others. The 'Imperially Commissioned Genealogy of Mongol and Hui Princes and Dukes' records: 'Shanggu Mountain Princess, granted as the consort of Shanggu Mountain', meaning that a princess of a royal prince, not of high status, was married to him. Historical records do not mention the origin and name of this princess, and in the grand Manchu-Mongol marriages of the early Qing Dynasty, this was an insignificant political marriage, but it is remembered to this day because of a peony. In the former residence of the consort's mansion, now in Xiaochengzi Town, Ningcheng County, Chifeng City, grows a peony that has been fragrant for more than 300 years, of the 'Rich Red' variety, which is said to have been bestowed by Emperor Kangxi as part of the princess's bridal dowry. Although there is no historical evidence to support Kangxi's bestowal of a dowry to a Shanggu Mountain Princess and it does not quite conform to the regulations, this peony was indeed brought into the palace by gardeners from Baipengyao Village, Huaxiang, Fengtai District, Beijing, who specialized in cultivating peonies for the royal family, and later planted beyond the Great Wall as part of the princess's dowry, blooming and falling for over 300 years. In 2021, Baipengyao Village welcomed back a branch of the 'bridal dowry peony' to its original home. Erenchen's descendants prospered, and by the time of his great-grandson Gele'er, the number of auxiliary leaders had accumulated to 38. The Qing court approved the establishment of the Khalkha Middle Banner in the territory belonging to Ningcheng County, and Gele'er was ennobled as a prince, becoming the first Zasak, a hereditary title that lasted for seven generations. By that time, Wandan Wei Zheng had been dead for 80 years. The consort's mansion was inherited by Gemupule, the seventh-generation descendant of Erenchen, who built a new mansion in Changgao Village in 1822 and transplanted the peony into the new residence for successive generations to nurture and worship. Today, the bridal peony has been propagated into three courtyards, with an average plant height of 1.5 meters and a covering diameter of 2 meters. The main stem of the original plant reaches 7 centimeters in diameter, still flourishing with lush branches and leaves, and a proper plant shape. The flowers are pink, with thousands of petals, and the diameter of the flowers is about 20 centimeters, with about 200 blooms each time. Every May, when the flowers bloom, they present an elegant posture, bright colors, and an intoxicating fragrance, making it the highest latitude woody peony in northern China.
