China's Twin Towers

Among the mysterious architectures in China are two thousand-year-old towers located on two tall stone blocks. Many questions arise as to how the ancient Chinese were able to build the tower on two high cliffs! To date, there is no answer to that question. And that place is called China's Song Thap Mountain.

Song Thap Mountain is located in the southwest of Chengde city, Hebei, China. This place consists of two giant rocks standing like a "twin" mountain next to each other. On top of each rock is an ancient stupa. The name Song Thap mountain was also born from there.
