【A unique thousand-year-old ancient pagoda in China】|||The existence of the Jiuding Pagoda adds a unique style to the thousands of ancient pagodas in China. It is a pavilion-style pagoda, but its top is constructed with nine small pagodas, making it unique nationwide. Moreover, this pagoda has a very long history, being an ancient Tang Dynasty pagoda. According to legend, Jiuding Pagoda was built by the famous general Qin Qiong in the early Tang Dynasty to commemorate his mother. Qin Qiong's mother advised him to always keep his word, and later, when Qin Qiong became the Duke of Protecting the Nation, he returned to his hometown and built this 'Jiuding Pagoda'. Today, Jiuding Pagoda is enclosed within the Jiuding Pagoda Chinese Nationality Amusement Park, a 4A-level scenic spot featuring ethnic performances and amusement projects. The entrance fee is 115 yuan, but if you only want to see the pagoda, you can inform them when buying the ticket. The ticket will cost 30 yuan with a 100 yuan deposit, and you will be given a receipt requiring you to leave within 30 minutes. Jiuding Pagoda is about a 5-minute walk from the main gate, located in a small courtyard with two ancient cypress trees named Tea Cypress and Smoke Cypress. There are four stone steles under the ancient cypresses. The four ancient pagodas of Jinan are all located in the southern part of the city. If you are driving, you can visit all of them in one day. History enthusiasts should not miss this opportunity. Next, I will introduce them one by one.
