Introduction to Zhaoguan Stone Pagoda: Zhaoguan Stone Pagoda is a street-crossing stone tower built in the Yuan Dynasty. It is the only well-preserved and oldest street-crossing stone tower in my country. According to expert research, Liu Gao, the craftsman who built the White Pagoda Temple in Dadu of the Yuan Dynasty, was ordered by Emperor Haishan of Wuzong of the Yuan Dynasty to preside over the construction. The east and west sides of the base of the stone pagoda are engraved with the word "Zhaoguan", so it is called "Zhaoguan Stone Pagoda". Some people also call it Guanyin Cave Lama Pagoda or Ping Pagoda. The Zhaoguan Stone Pagoda is about 5 meters high and is divided into five parts: the tower base, the tower body, the tower neck, the thirteenth day, and the tower top, all of which are carved in sections from bluestone. The two Yuan Dynasty mandalas found in the Zhaoguan Stone Pagoda are rare in China.
