Introduction to the Diamond Throne Pagoda: The most famous and eye-catching religious building in Guandu Ancient Town is the Diamond Throne Pagoda in front of Miaozhan Temple, a national key cultural relic protection unit. When the Miaozhan Temple was rebuilt in the second year of Tomorrow Shun (1457), "the land was opened in front of the temple and a pagoda was built again." This "pagoda" was the Vajra Throne Tower. The Guandu Vajra Throne Tower is composed of two parts: the base and the tower body. The plane of the base is square, with a side length of 10.4 meters and a height of 4.7 meters. On the base, five towers stand. There is a main tower with a height of 16 meters in the center, and small towers with a height of 8.84 meters at the four corners. The main pagoda and the small pagoda are composed of a sumeru base, a pagoda body, a pagoda neck and a pagoda brake, but they have different styles and styles. Among the more than ten existing Vajra Pagodas in my country, the Miaozhan Temple Vajra Pagoda is the earliest one to be built and has the longest history.
