The White Dagoba in Beihai Park

　　The White Dagoba in Beihai Park: Situated on the summit of Qionghua Island in Beihai Park, it is the most eye-catching building in the park. Constructed in the eighth year of the Shunzhi reign in the Qing Dynasty (1651), the dagoba stands 35.9 meters tall. It rests on a tall brick base, with a stepped Sumeru pedestal serving as its foundation. Above this sits the dome-shaped main body of the dagoba, fronted by a niche door (known as the "eye door") engraved with Tibetan mantras. The upper section of the dagoba consists of a slender spire known as the "thirteen heavens," atop which sit two tiers of copper umbrella-like structures. Fourteen small copper bells hang from the edges of these umbrellas, and at the very top is a gilded flame jewel finial.
