Liusheng Pagoda

❤ Recommended Reason: The Liusheng Pagoda, located on Mount Jinchai in Shihu Village, Hanjiang Town, Shishi City, Fujian Province, is a historic stone pagoda that serves as an important navigation marker. Originally built during the Northern Song Dynasty's Zhenghe period (1111–1117), it was funded by the monks Zuhui and Zongshi. Its name comes from the Buddhist concept of "Liushengyuan," meaning "six excellent causes," symbolizing the boundless nature of Buddhist teachings and the salvation of all beings. 🌟 Highlights: The Liusheng Pagoda is an octagonal, five-story stone structure, approximately 36.06 meters tall, and constructed from granite. Each story features arched doorways, Buddhist niches, and exquisite carvings, showcasing the architectural style of the Song and Yuan dynasties. In addition to its religious significance, the Liusheng Pagoda also served as a vital navigation marker for the ancient port of Quanzhou, guiding ships in and out of the harbor.
