Four Gates Pagoda, Stone pagoda in Licheng District, China
The Four Gates Pagoda stands 10.4 meters tall with identical entrances facing cardinal directions and contains a central pillar supporting triangular beams.
Built in 611 AD during the Sui Dynasty, this stone structure represents the oldest remaining pavilion-style pagoda in China.
The pagoda houses four Buddha statues from 544 AD behind each gate, representing early Chinese Buddhist architectural and religious traditions.
Located 33 kilometers southeast of Jinan at the foot of Qinglong Mountain, the pagoda maintains its original structure and architectural elements.
A thousand-year-old pine tree known as Nine-tip Pine grows next to the pagoda, adding natural heritage to this architectural monument.
