Dragon-and-Tiger Pagoda

The Dragon-and-Tiger Pagoda reaches 10.8 meters in height and features a single-storey pavilion design with a square cross-section and stone block central pillar.

Built during the Tang dynasty as a burial monument for a monk, the pagoda stands near the former location of Shentong Temple in Nanshan, Shandong Province.

Each side of the central pillar displays rectangular doors containing carved Buddha sculptures, accompanied by relief art depicting celestial beings and mythological creatures.

Located 33 kilometers southeast of Jinan city, visitors can explore the pagoda's three-tier Sumeru pedestal and examine the detailed stone carvings of lions and lotus flowers.

The structure incorporates a central pillar carved from a single cube-shaped stone block measuring four meters on each side, displaying Tang dynasty alto-relievo sculptures.
