White Pagoda, also called Wanbu Huayanjing Pagoda, was originally
built in Liao Dynasty and is well kept after 930 years' history. It
is a brick-wood structure about 55.5 meters high and looks
magnificent. On the front, there is a stone tablet scripting Ten
Thousand Volumes of Huayan Scripture, along with exquisite relief
of Buddha, Bodhisattva, Warriors and other Buddha figures.
Inside the pagoda, you can find many scriptures and tablet
inscriptions written in different languages, including Chinese,
Mongolian, Tibetan, Nvzhen, Qidan and language of other ethnic
groups. This is a good demonstration of association and exchange
between different nationalities in ancient times.
The White Pagoda is the most exquisite one among all pagodas built
in Liao Dynasty, and the best time for a visit will be from June to
September.
You can arrive there by a scheduled bus or a train that will stop
at the White Pagoda Station. White Pagoda is not far from the
Hohhot Baita Airport.How to Get to there?
