Tianshou Temple Pagoda
天寿寺塔
A Northern Song pagoda in Guangde city, built during the Zhiping era and standing for nearly a thousand years. It is a landmark of Guangde's old town.
The Tianshou Temple Pagoda stands in Guangde city. Built in the Zhiping era of the Northern Song, it is a brick multi-story pavilion-style pagoda with a slender, upright form. It once belonged to Tianshou Temple, which no longer exists, leaving the pagoda standing alone. For nearly a thousand years it has been a symbol of Guangde's ancient city and is a protected cultural heritage site. The pagoda is not open for climbing, and the surrounding area has been turned into a small garden where a 20-minute stop is enough. Nearby in the old town is the Ming-dynasty Drum and Horn Tower, now converted into a tea and coffee space where you can climb up for views over the old town. The two sites can be visited together on foot.
