The Qingjing Huacheng Pagoda is located on Huangsi Street, Anwai, Chaoyang District, Beijing, and was built in the ninth year of the Shunzhi reign (1652). In the forty-seventh year of the Qianlong reign (1782), a memorial stupa was constructed west of the West Huang Temple to commemorate the sixth Panchen Lama, who passed away here. It was named the “Qingjing Huacheng Pagoda.”
The Qingjing Huacheng Pagoda complex faces south and has a rectangular layout running from north to south, covering an area of over 900 square meters. The pagoda is modeled after the Indian Buddha Gayā stupa style and is built with white marble. The central main tower is 16 meters high and stands on a base over 3 meters tall, with carved statues of muscular figures at the corners of the tower. Around the main tower are four smaller spires, each about 7 meters tall, forming a five-tower arrangement together with the main tower.
The Qingjing Huacheng Pagoda serves as a historical testament to the cultural exchange and friendly interaction among Tibetan, Han, and other ethnic groups, holding significant historical value. (National Cultural Heritage Administration)
The Qingjing Huacheng Pagoda is a National Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit.
