About Sizhou Temple Pagoda
A Song-dynasty brick pagoda in Tanghe town, founded in 1095 as part of the Puti Temple of Tangzhou and rebuilt in 1377 under the Ming, with its top repaired after lightning strikes in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. Octagonal and modelled on a wooden tower, it has a stair spiralling round a central column inside and Buddha figures set into its walls.
