Jincheng Haihui Temple Glazed Pagoda | Rare in the World.

|Rare in the World. Haihui Temple was first built in the Sui Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Zhaozong of Tang, Li Ye, gave it the name "Longquan Zen Temple," and Emperor Taizong of Song, Zhao Guangyi, gave it the name "Haihui Temple." There are two pagodas in Haihui Temple. The shorter one is called Liang Pagoda, which was first built in the second year of Longde in the Later Liang Dynasty of the Five Dynasties. It was a pagoda built to commemorate the relics of Master Shunfan, the builder of the temple. The taller one next to it is called Ming Pagoda, which was built in the 44th year of Jiajing. It is a 13-story octagonal brick pagoda. Since the 10th floor of the pagoda has a circle of glazed flat seats in the style of a hanging pavilion, it is also called the Glazed Hanging Pavilion Pagoda. Usually, the pagoda that can be visited is the taller one, but the aisle is a bit narrow. The view from the top is truly spectacular, with a bridge spanning two mountains on one side and the recently renovated Haihui Temple on the other. A fee of CNY 30 is required to climb the pagoda.
Transportation: Take bus 201 from Jincheng East Bus Station (Bus Station) and get off at Haihui Temple Station. Walk for five minutes to reach the Haihui Temple Visitor Center.
