Fēngrùn

Fengrun lies on the plain south of the Yan Mountains. Its Tiangong Temple tower, a thirteen-storey brick pagoda, was completed under the Liao in 1062, after a local salt merchant had established the temple. The tower survived into the Ming and Qing, when it underwent major repairs in 1543 and 1677. Its slender tiers stood above the fields and settlements around the county town.
