Introduction

It is one of the six tallest towers in China and is a key national cultural heritage site. The White Pagoda in Liaoyang has a majestic and ancient appearance, and was built during the Liao and Jin Dynasties. After several generations of repair and maintenance, it still retains its original style. Originally known as Guangyou Temple Pagoda, it was named after the white lime coating on its body.

It is 70.4 meters high and consists of four parts: the base, the body, the eaves, and the pinnacle, with interior compartments. The white pagoda is adorned with brick-carved Buddhas, attendants, and celestial beings on all eight sides, displaying exquisite craftsmanship. Each level of the tower has wind chimes and bronze mirrors, and the top of the tower is adorned with a gold-plated copper pinnacle, a precious gem, and a spoked wheel. The overall architectural artistry is of high level, making it the leader among ancient pagodas.
