Soul Tower of Dingling

Soul Tower

The Soul Tower of Dingling of Ming Tombs is a magnificent building. All the brackets, eaves and rafters were made of stone with carved designs and painted in colors to resemble wooden structures. And miraculously enough, no cracks between the stone parts have been found widened up to now. The stones of the Soul Tower laid on the floor of the Soul Tower were connected closely like a whole piece. Melted iron was poured into the cracks between the stone to ensure solidity.
