CHANGQING MONASTERY PAGODA

Monastery in the second year of Chonghe’ s reign (1119) in the
Northern Song Dynasty. It is square and seven-storeyd in a solid tower
style. As the ancient Chongqing Monastery consisted of ten temples,
the pagoda used to be called Ten-Temples Pagoda. Now the temples are
all gone, and only the pagoda remains.
