Introduction to the Daming Tower Scenic Area: The Daming Tower is located on the east side of Yangde Gate, the south gate of the inner city of Liaozhong. Because the Liao Zhongjing continued into the Ming Dynasty and only the pagoda remained, people used to call it the Daming Pagoda. The tower is 80.22 meters high. In terms of height, the tower is second only to Chongwen Tower in Jingyang, Shaanxi Province and Liaodi Tower in Dingxian, Hebei Province. It is the third tallest tower in the country and the largest in volume. The tower is majestic and majestic. On a clear day, it is hundreds of miles away and can be seen with the naked eye. Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty used a poem to describe this tower: "I have seen the beauty of the tower from afar." It is so delicate and breathtaking that people can't help but stand in awe. There is still no information on the specific year when the Daming Tower was built. However, according to analysis by archaeologists, the Daming Tower was indeed built in the Liao Dynasty. Based on the inference that a brick found on the tower during maintenance in 1982 had the words "Eighth day of April in the fourth year of Shouchang..." and other words, it is believed that the Daming Tower should be from the 25th year of the Liao Dynasty to the fourth year of Shouchang (1007-1098 AD).
