Baisigou Square Pagoda, Buddhist pagoda in Helan County, China
The thirteen-story brick structure stood at the eastern side of the Helan Mountains, featuring small rooms with windows on three different levels.
Built between 1075 and 1076 during the Western Xia dynasty, the pagoda remained standing until its destruction by explosion in 1990.
The pagoda contained over 5000 miniature clay stupas and numerous Buddhist manuscripts written in Tangut script, reflecting regional religious practices.
The archaeological site lies 10 kilometers into Baisigou Valley, northwest of Yinchuan, with artifacts now displayed at the Ningxia Museum.
Excavations revealed the earliest known book printed using wooden movable type, the Auspicious Tantra of All-Reaching Union.
