Introduction to the Clothes-Sending Pagoda: The Clothes-Sending Pagoda is a square stone tower with a door in the south. There was a stone Buddha in the original tower, but it no longer exists. According to legend, there was an upright official in the Ming Dynasty who resigned and became a monk in Shentong Temple because he had no intention of pursuing an official career. His daughter was worried that her father could not take care of herself, so she came with her father. But there were rules in the temple that men and women could not live together, so the daughter became a nun. The latter two built a tower here. The daughter would deliver the washed clothes to the tower at the agreed time, and the father would take the clothes away. This is where the name "Clothes Delivery Tower" comes from.
