Ayuwang Pagoda

The Ayuwang or Ashoka Pagoda is a stupa in Dai County in northeast Xinzhou Prefecture in northern Shanxi, China.

The Ayuwang Pagoda's name honors Ashoka, the Mauryan emperor who converted to Buddhism around 263 BC and subsequently greatly patronized the religion.

The Ayuwang Pagoda was first built under the Sui dynasty in AD 601.

This dagoba was heavily damaged by an earthquake during the Qing dynasty and subsequently repaired.
