Nice Photo Op

It's basically a well preserved pagoda in the middle of town. Nice place to take a few photos and have a bite to eat since there were some interesting nearby restaurants.

    Nice old tower
    Cost is 5RMB per person, whether adult or child. Climb up the tower stairs to the 2nd level, and you can get a bit of a view over the city rooves. Interesting to see inside and around. But only worth a quick visit (5-10 mins). If you have kids, watch them carefully, as the railing around the 2nd level is very low.

    Heart of the ancient city
    Right in the centre of walled city, where north, west, east and south streets meet, alas, you can no longer enter the tower and climb for views, but it's still worth seeing as you stroll through the hectic busy streets. A great piece of architecture and worth seeing. Completely free of charge.
