Haibao Pagoda
海宝塔（北塔）
An ancient brick pagoda on the northern outskirts of old Yinchuan. Its body has a rare cross-shaped, angular plan, and it is known as one of Yinchuan's twin pagodas alongside Chengtian Temple Pagoda.
Haibao Pagoda, also called the North Pagoda, lies within Haibao Pagoda Temple on the northern outskirts of Xingqing District. The date of its original construction is unknown. The surviving structure was repaired after an earthquake during the Qing dynasty. It is an 11-story pavilion-style brick pagoda about 54 meters high, with a cross-shaped, angular plan. Each side has a protruding arched niche, a feature that is rare among ancient pagodas in China. The temple houses a Great Hall and a Reclining Buddha Hall, and the surroundings are peaceful. A visit takes about 1 hour. It can be combined with Chengtian Temple Pagoda and Yuhuang Pavilion for a half-day route through old Yinchuan's historic architecture. A taxi from the city center takes about 10 to 15 minutes.
