Introduction to Cishou Pagoda: Cishou Pagoda, also known as Jinshan Pagoda, was first built in Qiliang and has a history of more than 1,400 years. The original twin pagodas were built in the Tang and Song Dynasties, but were later destroyed. What we see today was rebuilt during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. This pagoda is exquisite, beautiful and tall. It stands on the top of Jinshan Mountain and fits perfectly with the entire Jinshan Mountain and Jinshan Temple. The tower is a brick and wood structure with seven levels and eight sides. There is a spiral staircase inside for visitors to climb the tower and have a distant view. Each floor has doors on four sides and has views on all sides: Jiao Mountain and Beigu Mountain to the east, the city to the south, the rapids of the Yangtze River to the west, and the ancient town of Guazhou and the ancient city of Yangzhou to the north.
