Kumarajiva Pagoda

TIME : 2016/2/17 12:01:25

Located 400m north of Wenhua Guangchang off Bei Dajie, this pagoda is a brick structure originally dating to 488. Dedicated to the great translator of Buddhist sutras (whose tongue was buried beneath the pagoda), the pagoda was toppled during the great earthquake in 1927 and rebuilt. Pilgrims circumambulate the pagoda in clockwise fashion.
