Category: Tourist Attractions 👁 100 views

Qianfo Pagoda in Tayu Village is located in Tayu Village, Xishanbei Township, Yixian County, about forty kilometers south of the county seat. The ancient pagoda was built in the fifth year of the Shunzhi reign during the Qing Dynasty. It is a seven-story, hexagonal brick pagoda, approximately 17 meters tall, with a hollow interior. The exterior of the pagoda is adorned with many exquisitely carved brick designs. At the top sits a round, gourd-shaped brick finial. The eaves of the odd-numbered stories are supported by bracket sets (dougong), while those of the even-numbered stories are upheld by lotus petals. The brick carvings on the pagoda mainly feature traditional Chinese folk deities, leading to the inference that this is a feng shui pagoda.
