Pagoda of Xiuding Temple

The square pavilion-style brick pagoda stands 20 meters tall, featuring an octagonal pedestal base, a central body, and a damaged summit resembling an overturned pot.

The pagoda, constructed between 627 and 649 during the Tang Dynasty, remained standing after the destruction of Xiuding Temple at the end of the Qing period.

The structure incorporates 3,442 carved bricks depicting Buddhist imagery, Chinese motifs, and non-Han dancers, reflecting the Tang Dynasty's multicultural influences.

The pagoda opens daily from 8:00 to 17:00, with final entry at 16:00, and visitors can reach it by traveling 35 kilometers northwest from Anyang.

The exterior walls display geometric patterns formed by specially shaped bricks, including squares, rhombuses, pentagons, and triangles, creating intricate decorative arrangements.
