Tiangong Temple Pagoda Park

Tiangong Temple Pagoda Park

Tiangong Temple Pagoda Park is a cultural tourism attraction.

Located southwest of the Ningguo Road traffic junction, adjacent to the long-distance bus station and train station. The park was originally built around the Tiangong Temple Pagoda, surrounded by single-story houses. It was constructed to commemorate the pagoda’s long history and to green and beautify the surrounding area. Planning began in 2001, and it was completed and opened to the public at the end of October 2003, covering an area of 3 hectares.

The park’s landscaping adopts a naturalistic style, integrating with the Tiangong Temple Pagoda structure and complemented by antique-style architecture, presenting a multi-layered, multi-species, and multi-colored layout. Centered around the Tiangong Temple Pagoda, the open, sloped lawns are dotted with sparse clusters of trees and flowers, creating an open and bright landscape. Walking paths are laid out among them, along with garden lights, benches, ponds, and fountains. There are few buildings in the park, the terrain has slight undulations, and no large rockeries are constructed. Instead, large areas of lawn and tree clusters form a naturalistic garden scene. On sunny days, residents flock to the park for sunbathing, walking, resting, and playing, finding contentment in the enjoyment of nature.

The Tiangong Temple Pagoda, located in the southwest corner of Fengrun County, was built in the eighth year of the Qingning era during the Liao Dynasty. It is said that in the first year of Qingning, salt supervisor Zhang Richeng noticed a high earthen mound in the area, with a clear spring flowing around its base — a location deemed suitable for constructing a pagoda. He purchased the land, built a temple, and invited Fahui, who was conferred the title of “Preaching Master” by the Liao emperor, to serve as the abbot.
