About Jingzhen Octagonal Pavilion
The ordination hall of Jingzhen Temple in Mengzhe, built in 1701 and the only original structure left after the temple was destroyed in 1853; the rest of the temple has since been rebuilt. Standing 15.42 m high on a brick base with an indented cross-shaped plan, it is crowned by a cone of eight-sided roofs in eleven tiers and a finial clad in silver floral ornament. It was among the national heritage sites listed in 1988.
