Yexian Pagoda

Yexian Pagoda

The Yexian Pagoda Tourist Scenic Area is located in the northeastern part of Miyun County, Beijing. Covering an area of 1,150 acres, the scenic area consists of two parts: the Yexian Pagoda Mountain Forest and the Yexian Pagoda Park.

The main structure of the scenic area, Yexian Pagoda, also known as the "Pagoda Lantern of Yexian," was first built during the Liao Dynasty. Throughout history, it has endured numerous disasters and restorations. The Yexian Pagoda we see today was reconstructed in 2001 and is hailed as one of the "Eight Outer Scenic Spots of Yanjing." The pagoda stands approximately 12 meters tall, with an octagonal floor plan. Its body is divided into upper and lower levels, featuring exquisitely crafted brick carvings of false windows and floral decorations.

In addition to Yexian Pagoda, the scenic area also includes other attractions such as the Longevity Pavilion, Puzhao Temple, the Water-Purifying Guanyin, a musical fountain, the Kuixing Pavilion, the Three Immortals Cave, the Heavenly Visitor Stone, the Mahavira Hall, the Water-Purifying Vase, a cultural wall, the Wishing Pool, the Auspicious Pavilion, and the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall.
