Shuangta Mountain is located ten kilometers southwest of the world-famous Chengde Summer Resort and is one of the famous mountains in Chengde. More than 1,300 years ago, the Khitan people built two ancient pagodas on the top of the Twin Pagodas, which have become the biggest highlight of the scenic spot. The construction of the Twin Towers remains a mystery to this day. The scenic area has beautiful forests and ravines, rushing streams, rugged rocks, and the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers. Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Qianlong Jiaqing, and famous civil and military officials visited many times.
There is an artificial brick tower on the rock pillar. It is said to be a tomb tower from the Liao Dynasty. It has a history of thousands of years and is the oldest existing building in Chengde area. Now there is a ladder next to the tower, which can be climbed up. There are also landscapes such as Sanxian Temple, Qibao Tower, Lingfeng Ancient Garden, and cliff carvings on the mountain.
The brick tower on the top of the south peak faces south, more than 5 meters high, square, with a side length of more than 2 meters. The door is about 1.5 meters high and 1.3 meters wide. There are wooden posts at the four corners, with iron rods protruding from it and copper bells hung on it. The east, west and south walls are made of blue bricks with pressed seams, while the north wall has straight seams. Before 1976, the cracks in the north wall were relatively large, about 20 centimeters wide. After the Tangshan earthquake, the brick tower not only did not fall down, but the cracks were restored, which is very miraculous.
