Pizhi Pagoda, Buddhist pagoda in Changqing, China

The Pizhi Pagoda reaches 54 meters in height with an octagonal base and nine stories constructed from brick and stone materials.

The current structure dates from 1056 to 1063 during the Song Dynasty, replacing the original pagoda built in 753 under Tang Emperor Xuanzong.

The pagoda honors pratyeka buddhas, individuals who achieved enlightenment through independent study and meditation without guidance from spiritual teachers.

Visitors can climb to the fifth floor using interior brick stairs, while access to upper levels requires using an external winding staircase.

The iron steeple contains an inverted bowl, discs, sun, crescent, and bead elements, secured by chains to iron celestial guard statues at corner ridges.
