Dayao White Pagoda, Buddhist pagoda in Dayao County, Yunnan, China.

The white lime-coated pagoda rises 18 meters high on Wenbi Peak, featuring an octagonal base and a wider upper section that resembles an inverted bell.

The pagoda dates back to the Tang Dynasty and underwent significant repairs in 1872 during the Qing Dynasty, followed by additional restoration work in 1975.

The exterior walls display detailed inscriptions and religious texts carved in both Chinese and Sanskrit languages, reflecting the Buddhist traditions of the region.

Located half a kilometer west of Dayao County town, the pagoda provides access to visitors who wish to examine the architectural details and inscriptions.

The structure consists of three distinct sections: an octagonal base measuring 3.12 meters on each side, an octagonal prism body, and a circular cone top.
