Our school organizes all the students and teachers for autumn outing. Our tourist destination is the Iron Tower.
It was built in 1049 ad. This tower has 13 floors. It is 55.88 meters tall. It was not made of iron. It has brown Crested brick outside, looks like the color of iron, so called the Iron Tower.
The students had a good time.The picture above is a picture of one of the classes.There are many Chrysanthemums in the park.

@caopaopao I think Kaifeng is famous for "Bao Zheng" who was a good officer in Song Dynasty.

There was a legend that it was often flooded. But since the tower was built, there had been no floods. There is also a saying that the tower was built to store the Buddhist relics .

I know it's not meant to be one, but this part of your pictures put me in mind of a door to a Hobbit house.
