Beisi Pagoda

The base of the pagoda has an octagonal frame, and the tower rises nine stories in a total height of 76 m (249 ft).

Its double eaves and flying corners are similar to that of the Liuhe Pagoda found in Hangzhou.

Patronage and construction for the Song era pagoda was headed by the Buddhist monk Dayuan.

However, the pagoda was burnt down by fire towards the end of the Song dynasty and rebuilt during the Ming.

During the modern repairs of the pagoda in 1960 and 1975, Chinese artifacts were found within the steeple, including a copper turtle and statues of the Buddha.
