Nine-storied Stone Pagoda

Tags: craft | pagoda | stone

The whole pagoda is composed of three sections: the foundation is the first section; the first to the seventh story of the body is the second section; and the eighth and ninth stories are the third section. There used to be some decorative objects on the very top of the pagoda, but they are now kept in the Shuoxian County Cultural Relic Preservation Center. The pagoda is higher than a person; with shrines and Buddhist carvings covering the whole tower. It is a huge and beautifully carved statue pagoda.
