The Five Phoenix Tower of Dai Temple
The Five Phoenix Tower is located on the Zhengyang Gate, spanning five bays with a width of 2290 cm and three bays in depth at 895 cm. It has a total height of 1100 cm, with a rectangular floor plan, featuring four pillars and a five-rafter beam structure with front and rear corridors. The roof is a single-eave hip-and-gable roof with nine ridges, covered with yellow glazed tiles. The Five Phoenix Tower was destroyed during the wars of the Republic of China era and was reconstructed between 1984 and 1985 along with the Zhengyang Gate.
Seven ornamental ridge beasts are installed on the hip rafters of the Five Phoenix Tower, with the majestic Mount Tai standing prominently in the distance.
