圓通寺塔，又稱元統寺塔，圓通寺塔位於甘肅省張掖市民樂縣縣城以北35千米的六壩鎮城堡內；圓通寺始建於宋徽宗年間（1101～1125年），現圓通寺已毀，只存塔樓。

圓通寺塔坐東朝西，是一座磚、土、木混築履缽式的藏傳佛教密宗金剛寶座塔，全塔通高23.37米，台基面至塔頂高21.9米，自下而上由塔座、塔身、相輪、塔剎組成。圓通寺塔的建造是多民族聚居共存的結果，是多民族經濟文化交流的產物，是多民族大融合、大團結，國家統一穩定、繁榮強盛的象徵物。

圓通寺塔坐東朝西，正面偏南30度，是一座磚、土、木混築履缽式的藏傳佛教密宗金剛寶座塔，全塔通高23.37米，台基面至塔頂高21.9米，自下而上由塔座、塔身、相輪、塔剎組成，塔體四周約3.31米處有磚砌護欄；塔周圍修南北寺大殿幾座、配房數間，內塑佛像，供人膜拜。

塔座：圓通寺塔的塔座為兩層疊涩須彌座，呈正方形，邊長8.7米，台基高20～40厘米，塔座之上是須彌山，須彌山上、下四角各設小塔1座，上下各4座，共計8座，上下兩層對應，為同類其他塔中所罕見；中央最大的塔為大日如來佛，四面小塔東為阿彌陀佛，南為寶生佛，西為阿彌陀佛，北為不空成就佛；上方四小塔的每個小塔上塔剎均無，只有西南角小塔僅存剎盤，下方西南角小塔剎缺損，所有小塔均有不同程度的殘損。
相輪：圓通寺塔的塔脖之上有相輪13重，俗稱“十三天”，顯示該塔較高的級別，內筑大立柱從第八層開始，相輪逐漸向北傾斜，塔頂中軸線偏離15厘米，第十二與十三層四周均有不同程度的裂縫11條。
塔剎：圓通寺塔的相輪之上有圓形華蓋，圍繞著鐵流蘇，並等距離懸垂鐵制風鈴；華蓋之上為瓷制墨綠釉寶瓶，高1.5米；華蓋、瓦件、寶瓶構成了整個寶塔的塔剎。

歷史文化：
據清代編《甘州府誌·卷五》記載：“圓通寺，在六壩堡，宋徽宗敕建，明天啟四年重修。本朝順治七年、康熙三十六年兩次重修，雍正七年修塔，乾隆四十三年又補石包修塔一座，原高七丈餘，今增高八丈餘，闊周圍一十一丈，配殿廊房俱照舊增加。”
“古塔鐘聲”
圓通寺塔形成了“古塔鐘聲”的景觀，是民樂縣舊七景之一。

文物價值：圓通寺塔造型優美、歷史悠久，居民樂古建築之首，是河西走廊一座重要的喇嘛塔；它的建造是多民族聚居共存的結果，是多民族經濟文化交流的產物，是多民族大融合、大團結，國家統一穩定、繁榮強盛的象徵物。

Yuantong Temple Pagoda, also known as Yuantong Temple Pagoda, is located within the castle of Liuba Town, 35 kilometers north of the county seat of Minle County, Zhangye City, Gansu Province; Yuantong Temple was originally built during the reign of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty (1101-1125), and now only the pagoda tower remains. 

Yuantong Temple Pagoda faces east and is a brick, earth, and wood mixed-structure bowl-shaped Vajrayana Buddhist pagoda of Tibetan Buddhism. The total height of the pagoda is 23.37 meters, with the height from the base to the top of the pagoda being 21.9 meters. It is composed of the pagoda base, pagoda body, Xianglun (decorative wheels), and the pagoda spire from bottom to top. The construction of Yuantong Temple Pagoda is the result of the coexistence of multiple ethnic groups, a product of multi-ethnic economic and cultural exchanges, and a symbol of multi-ethnic integration, unity, national unity, stability, and prosperity.

Yuantong Temple Pagoda faces east and is slightly south by 30 degrees. It is a brick, earth, and wood mixed-structure bowl-shaped Vajrayana Buddhist pagoda of Tibetan Buddhism. The total height of the pagoda is 23.37 meters, with the height from the base to the top of the pagoda being 21.9 meters. It is composed of the pagoda base, pagoda body, Xianglun (decorative wheels), and the pagoda spire from bottom to top. Around the pagoda body, there is a brick railing at about 3.31 meters; around the pagoda, there are several main halls and side rooms to the north and south, with Buddha statues inside for worship.

Pagoda Base: The pagoda base of Yuantong Temple Pagoda is a two-tiered square Sumeru base, with each side measuring 8.7 meters and the base height ranging from 20 to 40 centimeters. Above the base is Mount Sumeru, with small pagodas at each of the four corners on the upper and lower levels, totaling eight pagodas, which are rare among similar pagodas; the central largest pagoda represents the Buddha Vairocana, with the small pagodas on the east representing Amitabha, on the south representing Ratnasambhava, on the west representing Amitabha, and on the north representing Amoghasiddhi. The four small pagodas above have no spires, except for the southwest corner pagoda which only has a spire base remaining, and the southwest corner pagoda below is damaged, with all small pagodas having varying degrees of damage.
Xianglun: Above the neck of Yuantong Temple Pagoda, there are 13 layers of Xianglun, commonly known as 'Thirteen Heavens,' indicating the high status of the pagoda. A large column is built inside starting from the eighth layer, and the Xianglun gradually tilts northward, with the central axis of the pagoda top deviating by 15 centimeters. The twelfth and thirteenth layers have 11 cracks of varying degrees around them.
Pagoda Spire: Above the Xianglun of Yuantong Temple Pagoda, there is a round canopy surrounded by iron tassels and evenly spaced iron wind bells hanging. Above the canopy is a porcelain dark green glazed treasure vase, 1.5 meters high; the canopy, tiles, and treasure vase form the entire pagoda spire.

Historical Culture:
According to the records in the 'Ganzhou Prefecture Annals, Volume Five' compiled during the Qing Dynasty: 'Yuantong Temple is located in Liuba Fort, commissioned by Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, and was rebuilt in the fourth year of Tianqi of the Ming Dynasty. It was repaired twice in the seventh year of Shunzhi and the thirty-sixth year of Kangxi of our dynasty, the pagoda was repaired in the seventh year of Yongzheng, and a stone-wrapped pagoda was added in the forty-third year of Qianlong, originally over seven zhang high, now increased to over eight zhang, with a circumference of eleven zhang, and the halls and corridors were all expanded according to the original.'
'Old Pagoda Bell Sounds'
Yuantong Temple Pagoda has formed the landscape of 'Old Pagoda Bell Sounds,' which is one of the old seven sceneries of Minle County.

Cultural Value: Yuantong Temple Pagoda is beautifully shaped and has a long history, ranking first among the ancient buildings of Minle. It is an important Lama pagoda in the Hexi Corridor; its construction is the result of the coexistence of multiple ethnic groups, a product of multi-ethnic economic and cultural exchanges, and a symbol of multi-ethnic integration, unity, national unity, stability, and prosperity.

The Tongzi Temple Grottoes are located about ten kilometers east of Minle County in the middle reaches of the Tongzi Dam River.

Features of the grottoes: The grottoes are carved into a gravel cliff that has been eroded by river water, with dozens of large and small grottoes, and there are dark holes connecting between the grottoes. The murals inside the cave are clearly visible, mostly influenced by Lamaism.
The most vivid and realistic is the story of 'Journey to the West' painted in the southernmost cave 1. The scenes include the birth of the monkey, Wukong's apprenticeship, Bajie's ordination, drinking horses by the stream, asking for directions at the wooden door, crossing the desert, etc., all are lifelike. And the sharp mouth and thin cheeks of Wukong, and the long mouth and big belly of Bajie, are more like natural monkeys and pigs, which are similar and dissimilar to the images in the TV series 'Journey to the West', giving people a refreshing feeling, and people can't help but exclaim the rich imagination and superb painting skills of ancient Chinese painting masters. The murals in Cave 3 are composed of five layers, with paintings of Tantric Buddhas, Thousand-Handed Guanyin, Happy Buddha, Bodhisattva, etc., which are precious materials for studying murals of all ages. Climbing to the top of the cave, you can see a wide view, the long river setting sun, the distant village with smoke, which makes people feel open-minded. The Tongzi Temple Grottoes were built in the Wei and Jin dynasties, and were destroyed many times afterwards. In recent years, a large number of monks and laymen have raised funds and invested in labor to build a main hall and several side rooms. There is a jade Buddha in the main hall, which is very beautiful and attracts many pilgrims.

Minyuetongzi Temple

Zhangye Minle Tongzi Temple

Discovering this temple was completely unexpected, but it's the biggest surprise of the day!

After leaving the military horse field, several consecutive gas stations had no gas, so I had to leave the highway and turn into Minle County. On the way to find a gas station, I saw a towering pagoda standing in the county from a distance. During the idle chat while refueling, I learned that this is actually a hundred-year-old famous temple.

Shengtian Temple was built during the Yongle period and has been more than six hundred years to date. It is said that Emperor Jiajing dreamed of lotus growing under his feet at night, sent people to search in the west and finally found this temple, so he took the meaning of 'Chongsheng Tiandao', and bestowed the name 'Shengtian Temple' to the Bodhisattva.

The temple was destroyed during the Tongzhi period and the Cultural Revolution, and later the temple was rebuilt on the remaining three halls. There are more than 20 monks and nuns in the temple now, and the rest of the practitioners are all women, making it the largest nunnery in the northwest region.

Shengtian Temple is very deep, with each hall arranged in a straight line. Behind the statue of the King of Ksitigarbha at the deepest point is the eye-catching pagoda I saw from a distance in the county, which is still under renovation. Because I arrived at the temple late, it was almost closing time, so I hurriedly walked around and left.

Back at the central Great Compassion Building, I met a nun. After nodding and telling her where I came from, she surprisingly suggested going into the hall to worship the statue of Guanyin, and then turned back to the room to get the key to the hall. The moment I pushed the door open, I took a deep breath, feeling my heart pounding, and couldn't help but let out a 'wow...' sound: Inside the hall is a 9.9-meter-high gilded statue of the Great Compassion Guanyin, which can only be seen in its entirety when you enter the door. The whole statue is shining with golden light, almost as high as the three-story hall, and people are only up to the height of the calf in front of it. The light outside the window refracts on the body into a golden color projected at the foot, and Guanyin is looking down at the people under her feet with her eyebrows down, I feel my hair standing up.

The bhikkhuni on the side smiled and watched me being shocked, and didn't urge me who was still lingering and looking back, until I walked out of the hall, she locked the door again, and told us to leave from the side door.
