鬧市當中，鼓樓附近，原以為會有個宏偉的古寺，沒想到就在路邊有個不高的石塔。這可是唐代明塔，想必也曾有輝煌無限的過去，可如今卻孤零零在路邊，連個起碼的保護也沒有了，行人匆匆路過，估計也不會對它多看一眼，真是令人唏噓呀！

南朝四百八十寺，多少樓台煙雨中。縱覽全國的天寧寺有許多，有東南第一叢林之稱的常州天寧寺，有北京最高的密檐式磚塔的北京市西城區天寧寺，清代列揚州八大古剎之首的揚州市天寧寺，還有林森手書“天寧古禪寺”橫額的衢州市天寧寺，阿拉寧波的天寧寺則僅存烏龜塔和歷史記憶了，而這座烏龜塔也是浙江省現存年代最久和唯一的一座唐塔，可見寧波天寧寺的不復存在有多可惜。目前，除了烏龜塔，在原址上已經變成了海曙中心小學，因此，只在朝中山西路的人行道上樹匾立碑，以示紀念。

Tianning Temple Pagoda is located on Zhongshan West Road in Haishu District, Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province. It has a history of more than 1000 years. It is the only Tang Pagoda in Zhejiang Province and Ningbo City. May there be two, one damaged, and the remaining one is the West Tower.

Ningbo is also a part of the modern five-port trade, which shows its important position. Put down your luggage and go to Drum Tower for a turn. On the way to the hotel, you can see a small square pagoda. Close to it, the brick pagoda of Tang Dynasty, the West pagoda of Tianning Temple, the national key cultural relics protection unit, the small pagoda is standing by the side of Zhongshan West Road. The former Tianning Temple has disappeared and the East pagoda no longer exists. This West pagoda has become a landmark here after restoration.

歷史文物地方，塔比較小，但是歷史悠久

At that time, walking from Drum Tower to Tianyi Pavilion, I inadvertently passed by and saw that there was a tower in the city. The tower looked worn out by mail. There were five stories of brick structure. Some of the bricks fell out. There were Buddha statues in the exterior of the tower, and a low fence surrounded by a stele. Only then did I know whether it was Tianning Temple in Ningbo or a key cultural relic protection unit in the country. By the way, no tickets, just look around, because it's just a small tower, haha.
