Fushou Palace

　　    Fushou Palace in Liaoyuan City, Jilin Province, is situated on the southern foothills of Longshou Mountain at the eastern bank of the Dongliao River in the city center. On the north side of its central axis, atop the peak of Longshou Mountain, stands the reconstructed Kuixing Tower — a pagoda-style structure that ranks as the largest Taoist tower in China. The tower has nine levels in total (including mezzanines), representing the supreme yang number in Taoism. The upper seven floors house numerous Taoist deities including Laozi, the Jade Emperor, the God of Wealth, and Kuixing. The lower two floors serve as a museum. The pagoda stands 66 meters tall, with a base diameter of 40 meters and a body diameter of 24 meters. Its overall design follows Taoist principles such as the Taiji, Two Modes, Three Powers, Four Symbols, Five Elements, Six Harmonies, Seven Stars, Eight Trigrams, and Nine Palaces, aligning with the natural numbers of the ten directions of the cosmos. This structure is purely a religious building, designed in the architectural style of the Liao Dynasty, while also integrating the swirling color paintings of the Qing style and various painting techniques. The outer railings are made of white marble, and the pillars are painted vermilion red. With its grand, majestic, and spectacular presence, the tower can be regarded as the foremost of Taoist architecture.
