Xumi Pagoda, Buddhist temple in Zhengding, China

The Xumi Pagoda rises 48 meters high with nine tiers of eaves, featuring a square base construction made from stone and brick materials.

The construction of Xumi Pagoda took place in 636 CE during the Tang Dynasty reign of Emperor Taizong, marking a period of Buddhist architecture development.

The pagoda preserves detailed stone carvings at its base corners, representing traditional Buddhist symbolism and Tang Dynasty artistic expression.

Visitors can examine the pagoda's exterior structure and the bixi statue near its entrance, though the hollow interior remains inaccessible without stairs.

The rediscovery of the damaged bixi statue, a mythical tortoise-dragon creature, occurred during excavation work in 2000 near the pagoda entrance.
