【A Poetic Encounter in Yongji】

🌿【A Poetic Encounter in Yongji】🏰 📍 Seeking ancient mysteries, we traverse through time and space to arrive at the ancient city of Puzhou in Yuncheng, Shanxi. Here lies an epic tale, an immortal love story—The Romance of the Western Chamber. 🎭 The love story of Zhang Sheng and Cui Yingying began under the ancient pagoda of Pujiu Temple. Yingying Pagoda has since become synonymous with love. Today, every love lock inside the pagoda holds a piece of human affection, with names engraved as if to make them eternal. 💡 For 60 yuan, you can buy a lock engraved with our names, hoping to secure not just love but also the beautiful memories of this moment. However, friendship is equally precious. We joke that no chain is needed; our bond is already deeply rooted in our hearts. 🗼 Yingying Pagoda, this ancient pagoda from the Sui and Tang dynasties, has weathered the passage of time. It was damaged in an earthquake during the Jiajing period of the Ming dynasty and later restored under the advocacy of Zhang Jiayin. The 40-meter tower with an 8.3-meter base tells the weight of history with every brick and tile. 🐸 Moreover, this pagoda is one of China's four classical echo buildings. A gentle knock on the stone beside the pagoda produces a "croak! croak!" echo, as if nature has bestowed a mysterious symphony, making one feel relaxed and happy. 🚫 However, the uncivilized behavior of many tourists, such as random carvings and graffiti, has marred this tranquility and beauty, which is truly heartbreaking. 🌉 Standing at Pujiu Temple, you can also gaze at Guanque Tower in the distance, capturing the grandeur of "wishing to see a thousand miles further." 🌅 Here, there is not only love and ancient pagodas but also our reverence for history and the inheritance of culture. Yongji, a place full of poetry, is a niche travel destination worth visiting together.
