Méngchéng

Méngchéng stands beside the Guō River in the plains north of the Huái. Its Buddhist pagoda, built in 1102 under the Northern Sòng, belonged to Xīnghuà Temple and became known as the Tower of Ten Thousand Buddhas. The brick tower rises above a town also associated with the philosopher Zhuāngzǐ, whose memory was honoured at a local shrine.
