How to use multilayered bidirectional LSTM in Tensorflow?

Question

I want to know how to use multilayered bidirectional LSTM in Tensorflow.

I have already implemented the contents of bidirectional LSTM, but I wanna compare this model wi

On top of Taras's answer. Here is another example using just 2-layer Bidirectional RNN with GRU cells

    embedding_weights = tf.Variable(tf.random_uniform([vocabulary_size, state_size], -1.0, 1.0))
    embedding_vectors = tf.nn.embedding_lookup(embedding_weights, tokens)

    #First BLSTM
    cell = tf.nn.rnn_cell.GRUCell(state_size)
    cell = tf.nn.rnn_cell.DropoutWrapper(cell, output_keep_prob=1-dropout)
    (forward_output, backward_output), _ = \
        tf.nn.bidirectional_dynamic_rnn(cell, cell, inputs=embedding_vectors,
                                        sequence_length=lengths, dtype=tf.float32,scope='BLSTM_1')
    outputs = tf.concat([forward_output, backward_output], axis=2)

    #Second BLSTM using the output of previous layer as an input.
    cell2 = tf.nn.rnn_cell.GRUCell(state_size)
    cell2 = tf.nn.rnn_cell.DropoutWrapper(cell2, output_keep_prob=1-dropout)
    (forward_output, backward_output), _ = \
        tf.nn.bidirectional_dynamic_rnn(cell2, cell2, inputs=outputs,
                                        sequence_length=lengths, dtype=tf.float32,scope='BLSTM_2')
    outputs = tf.concat([forward_output, backward_output], axis=2)

BTW, don't forget to add different scope name. Hope this help.
