Pagoda is situated about two kilometers south of Hepu
County. These three hundred years old pagodas were originally
built in 1613 during the reigns of Emperor Wanli of the
Ming Dynasty. It is a 36-meter-height white octagonal
pagoda with red roof eaves tapering upwards, complete
with a gourd top. Within the pagoda, each floor has an
east and a west ventilating doors, and another six 'dummy'
smaller doors solely for decoration purposes.
In
Chinese architecture research, this pagoda has great significant
values and heritage.
