Brief introduction of Jinzhou ancient pagoda

Jinzhou Ancient Pagoda Park consists of ancient pagodas and wood fossils. Millennium pagodas are integrated with modern gardens, and historical culture and modern civilization are integrated.

With its unique garden style, it has become another tourist attraction in Jinzhou and even Liaoning Province, especially the wood fossil forest, which is very unique. The wood fossil forest takes the unique wood fossils in western Liaoning as the main raw material, and adopts a variety of stone forest scenic spots piled up in modelling technique.

The park takes the Millennium Liao Tower as the central commanding height, and the ancient buildings of Daguangji Temple as the borrowing scenery. In the construction, we insist on combining the historical context of Jinzhou ancient city with the concept of modern garden landscape, making it a leisure place full of regional culture and customs in western Liaoning.

The ancient pagoda is magnificent, the tallest ancient building in western Liaoning, and the only Liao tower that can be seen from the train on the way to Beijing and Shenyang. With historical and artistic value, it is a provincial cultural relic and a symbol of Jinzhou City and Guta District.
