Tianjin White Pagoda

Category: Tourist Attractions 👁 100 views

Located southwest of Jizhou County and 300 meters directly south of Dule Temple, the pagoda was first built in 1058 during the Liao Dynasty's Qingning era, and was renovated during both the Ming and Qing dynasties. The lower part of the pagoda features a dense-eave style, while the upper part is built in an inverted-bowl shape, giving it a unique design that makes it a representative work of Liao Dynasty pagodas. The pagoda stands 30 meters tall, has an octagonal floor plan, and its doorway is adorned with finely carved reliefs of dancing and musical performers, which are vivid and lifelike. These carvings serve as important evidence for the study of Liao Dynasty music and dance. The southern entrance of the pagoda houses a Buddhist shrine, with murals inside the walls; at each of the eight corners, there are smaller double-layered pagodas, and the eaves are hung with bronze bells.
