Because there were several large and small Buddha statues enshrined in the pagoda in the old days, it was commonly called "Buddha Pagoda" by the locals. Throughout the ages, Baoguang Pagoda has attracted many tourists to climb the tower to admire it, and many people have written poems and praised it. Climbing high and looking into the distance, you can have a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery inside and outside the ancient city of Gaozhou, which makes you feel open-minded and comfortable.
