Yuexi Thousand Buddha Pagoda
Yuexi Thousand Buddha Pagoda is situated in the heart of the Dabie Mountains in Yuexi County, Anhui Province. About 9 kilometers east of the county town, within Fayun, there is an ancient brick pagoda engraved with Buddha statues. It was first constructed during the Xianhe period of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and has a history of more than 1,670 years. The pagoda is seven stories high and reaches 28 meters in height. Its inner and outer walls are covered with various intricately carved brick Buddha statues, totaling 1,680 in all—hence the name "Thousand Buddha Pagoda." The area around Fayun Temple is surrounded by uniquely shaped rocks, lush forests, tall bamboo, and reflective lakes.
