Bao'en Dingguang Duobao Pagoda

The Bao'en Dingguang Duobao Pagoda is a brick structure on Yu Hill with three levels, each featuring double and triple-layer eaves. Traditional Chinese bracket systems support the whole building and give it its distinctive appearance.

This pagoda was built during the Qing Dynasty between 1735 and 1796 under Emperor Qianlong in Fujian Province. That era saw major construction projects that strengthened the region's Buddhist heritage.

The name Bao'en means Repaying Gratitude and reflects Buddhist values of appreciation that shaped this structure. This spiritual purpose remains visible in how the space is arranged and decorated today.

This pagoda sits on Yu Hill and is protected as a provincial cultural site. You can approach it from the base of the hill where the local layout guides you toward the structure.

The entire outer surface is covered with small glazed Buddhist statues that form an intricate pattern. These details are hard to spot from far away but reveal themselves as careful decoration upon closer inspection.
