Introduction to the West Pagoda: There are two pagodas in Ashoka Temple. One pagoda is built on the mountain, commonly known as the upper pagoda, also called the east pagoda; the other pagoda is built at the bottom of the mountain, commonly known as the lower pagoda, also called the west pagoda. The west tower has six sides and seven floors, with a height of 36.2 meters, a width of 7.1 meters, and an indoor diameter of 4 meters. The whole building is made of stacked bricks, with yellow exterior decoration. It is a pavilion-style brick and wood structure. The bottom floor is a wooden structure with auxiliary steps, supported by 18 stone pillars. There is a Humen on the south side that leads to the inside of the pagoda, but it is inaccessible because there are Buddha statues enshrined in the door. There is a ladder in the tower that spirals counterclockwise upward to the top of the tower. There is a tower window on each floor that transmits light and illuminates the tower ladder. There are concave niches built on the six sides of the pagoda, with a door hidden on the niche base to enshrine stone Buddha statues. The side steps and waist eaves are covered with gray tiles. The waist eaves are made of overlapping water chestnut bricks. The hexagonal hairpins on the waist eaves are raised, and there are red wooden bucket arch supports under the waist eaves. The flat seat is made of stacked blue bricks with traces of railings on it. Tasha is a precious gourd.
