Láishuǐ

Laishui lies where the northern mountains meet the Hebei plain. On the southern slope of Longgong Mountain, the pagoda of Qinghua Temple rises from a cliff platform. Its brickwork is richly ornamented: musicians and dancers adorn the base, while tiers of small Buddhist niches climb toward the summit. Its style belongs to the Liao period. Another local pagoda at Longyan Temple was repaired in 1506 and 1595 under the Ming.
