Introduction to the stone pagoda: The stone pagoda was moved here in the 1970s from the Yanchang Temple in the city. It is said that the temple was founded during the reign of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty. It was one of the three famous temples in Yaozhou in ancient times. It began to decline in the late Qing Dynasty. In the 1900s, except for the two pagodas, the rest was reduced to flat ground. The biggest features of the pagoda are the ten-level pagoda, whole stone carvings, and stone pavilions. The bottom is a two-story square tower with obvious points, and the second floor is higher. Above the base of the pagoda, there is a ten-story pagoda body that is gradually divided into layers. Each floor is carved with imitation wood eaves. There are two rooms in width and depth. Each room is carved with one pavilion of five statues, and each side is carved with two pavilions of ten. There are 40 statues on each floor of the eight-story pagoda, with a total of 400 statues on the ten-story tower.
