“沧州狮子，景州塔，赵州石桥，东光铁菩萨”
并称河北四宝，另有一说是“沧州狮子，定州塔，赵州石桥，正定铜菩萨”，无论哪种说法都离不了公元953年五代后周时期巨大的沧州铁狮。
提起铁狮子，沧州有古今两个，一个是偏僻乡间的千年古狮，一个是市区狮城公园重金打造的城市标志新铁狮子。
新狮子比老狮子体积还要庞大，昂首屹立于崭新现代的城市之中，新狮子在五金名城泊头市整体浇筑，据称设计寿命2000年，不知道2000年后，这里又会是怎般的景象。

沧州站坐上901路公交车，40多分钟才来到距离18公里的老狮子景区。下车是一片乡野的景象，不远处的塔和绿树掩映的仿古建筑是古开元寺，当年铁狮子就置于开元寺门口。

徐行几百米，看到了露出院墙的千年铁狮。

当年这里必定香火旺盛，商贾环集，现在只孤寂的挨着农田，热闹了那么久，自己静静的发呆一千年又何妨。景区门票30元，可以参观铁狮子和旁边百米远的铁钱库景区，我到访时只有我一个游客。

铁狮子景区值得一看的只有铁狮子，虽然门票价格略高，行程也费周折，但看到千年的铁狮子觉得一切都是值得的。现在各地景区难见真古，纯粹的古迹带给人的感受是仿古建筑无法比拟的。各个角度看看千年的铁狮子。

园子很小，前院铁狮子，后院一间屋子是文殊庙，一座小假山，两侧平房年久失修，已成危房。

铁狮子历经沧桑，只能借助支架站立，头部也有残缺，但这也体现了岁月痕迹的美。

继续参观百米之遥的铁钱库，这里考古发现了48吨宋代铁钱。本帖标题“乡野藏巨富”就是说的此处。
