Puzhao Temple Pagoda

Puzhao Temple Pagoda is a cultural tourism attraction.

Puzhao Temple Pagoda, also known as the Pagoda of Monk Xiu, the Vinaya Master, is located in Puzhao Temple Village, 1.5 kilometers west of Litunji. The temple has long been destroyed, leaving only this pagoda. Built in the fifth year of the Mingchang era during the Jin Dynasty (1194), the 14-meter-high seven-story pagoda has a hexagonal floor plan and is a closely-eaved brick structure. The pagoda walls feature straight, staggered joints, and the bricks of each eave level imitate wooden bracket sets. The southern side of the third level features a pagoda door, while the northern side has an observation window. Levels four through seven each have false niches. The pagoda body tapers inward with each ascending level, and the top is crowned with a stone imitation spire. The entire structure is built with rigorous craftsmanship.
