Pagoda of Ci'en Temple

The seven-story brick pagoda rises prominently on Baitashan Mountain, offering views of Lanzhou city and the Yellow River from its elevated position.

Dating back to the Yuan Dynasty, the pagoda underwent reconstruction in 1456 after destruction during conflicts, maintaining its architectural characteristics.

The structure incorporates traditional Buddhist design elements, with religious figures adorning its surfaces and multiple platforms featuring carved beams.

The site includes walking paths, stone steps, and corridors that guide visitors through the grounds, connecting different levels of the mountain complex.

The Museum of Yellow River Stones, established in 1993 within the third platform hall, contains over ten thousand distinctive river stones.
