Kailu

Kailu lies in the plain of the western Liao River, where grassland and cultivated country meet. A brick pagoda stands as a landmark of the region’s Liao-period Buddhist heritage. Its octagonal, many-storeyed form recalls a time when Khitan rulers patronised temples across their domains. Under the Yuan, Mongol herders moved through this country and called the place Talin Suburga, the meadow with a pagoda.
