The Shibali Fort Ancient Pagoda is located within the territory of Songzhangzi Town. It is an octagonal, seven-tiered, closely eaved, solid brick pagoda. The top is damaged, and the base of the pagoda has modern stone protective construction. The upper part of the Sumeru pedestal features brick carvings of seated bodhisattvas on each side, flanked by attendant standing statues, with brick-carved bracket sets above. This pagoda is situated to the west of the ruins of Yuzhou City from the Liao Dynasty. Judging from its architectural style and materials used, it is believed to have been built during the Liao Dynasty.
