Italy’s leaning Tower of Pisa is famous all over the world, and there is also a leaning tower in Chongzuo City of Guangxi province, China. It is also called Guilong Tower(which is also known as Zuojiang Leaning Tower), is known as one of the world’s eight major Leaning towers and is tied with Italy’s leaning Tower of Pisa. Guilong Tower stands on a pile of craggy rocks,sides with the clear Zuojiang(a river name). Look, is the tower a little slanted? The tower was built in the first year of China’s Tianqi in Ming Dynasty (1621),about 400 years ago!
意大利比萨斜塔世界闻名,而中国广西崇左也有座斜塔,名为归龙塔又称左江斜塔,被誉为世界八大斜塔之一,且与比萨斜塔并列。 归龙塔屹立在一堆嶙峋怪石之上。塔旁清澈的水就是左江。看,塔身是否有些倾斜呢?该塔建于明代于启元年(1621年),距今将满四百年了!
2018年春季的一天,@zg369和友人搭乘渡船,登上怪石嶙峋的小岛(四周被江水环绕),拍一张斜塔近景照。细看,这座五层高的塔,倾斜略为明显了吧?
塔的基座用许多岩石砌成,坚如磐石啊!有专家考证认为,塔身呈八面体的归龙塔,之所以倾斜,是设计者根据环境因素精心设计的,并非自然形成!
登上塔基,沐浴着冬日的暖阳,观赏归龙塔周边秀丽的景色,令人心旷神怡!图为归龙塔北面的一座江心小岛。
在塔基上,回望刚才走过的路和搭渡船渡过的水域,这又是一道靓丽的风景。古人建塔,也太会选址了吧!
饱览了周边美景,@zg369与友人商定:登上斜塔!不久,我们从一个小门进入塔身,随后沿着塔内狭小的螺旋楼梯,小心登了上去。
登到塔身中部,透过一个小窗户,看到了外面的一道风景,也呼吸到了窗外飘进来的一股清爽宜人的空气。
再登上一段楼梯后,@zg369感觉身体似乎也在倾斜,心中难免忐忑。回头望着身后的这段楼梯,再一次看清,这是多么狭小而陡峭的螺旋楼梯啊!
即将到达楼梯尽头的时候, @zg369透过左边一个小门,猛然发现了一个“重大秘密”——塔的顶部,原来就是由这两根栋梁支撑的!仔细看,轻轻敲,好像是红木哦!
哦,到达楼梯尽头啦!虽然未能像原来想象的那样,在塔顶伸出头来观赏周围美景,但至少,我们已经登上逼近塔顶的部位了!呵呵,感觉真不错……
走下螺旋楼梯,我们便从原路返回。临上渡船, @zg369回望这座“中国比萨斜塔”,再次拍下了它的倩影。
