The White Pagoda in my heart is hidden in Hohhot.

Transportation: Bus 113 goes directly to the entrance, but there are few buses, about 30–60 minutes apart, CNY 5, about 40 minutes to get there. Features: Built in the Liao Shengzong period, rebuilt in the second year of Jin Dading, National Level 2 1. Fengdu Ancient City Museum, currently the Ten Thousand Huayan Sutra Pagoda and the museum are integrated, free to visit. You can visit several exhibition halls first to learn about the past and present of the ancient city and the White Pagoda, and then go out to the pagoda. 2. The shape of the White Pagoda is octagonal and seven-story, with a brick-wood mixed structure, a total height of 55.6 meters, and a corridor staircase inside the pagoda (there is a model in the museum), which can be climbed to the top of the pagoda. 3. Buddhist statues, the first to second floors of the pagoda are decorated with brick half-relief Bodhisattvas, warriors, Vajra... beautiful and lifelike, unfortunately, the first floor has been basically destroyed, and the double dragon winding of the corner pillars is also skillful. 4. Dougong, using a brick-wood mixed structure, there are also concave arches, related introductions in the museum. Note: 1. When turning the pagoda, be sure to do it clockwise, preferably a multiple of 3. 2. When taking pictures of the pagoda, you can keep a certain distance, and the small dirt pile around the pagoda is a good place to take pictures. If you use a mobile phone to take pictures, it is best to zoom in 5 or 10 times. 3. It is best to visit in the afternoon, the light is best at sunset, and if it is winter, migratory birds will fly over it. 4. There are two good stamps in the scenic area, which are extremely hidden at the registration place at the entrance. 5. There is no public storage machine in the scenic area, you can communicate with the staff to store your luggage for free. 6. If you have time, you can visit the site of the old White Pagoda railway station nearby, but there is no direct bus, you can take bus 113 and walk 2 kilometers to get there, pay attention to arrive at the scenic area before 16:30, and you can take bus 2 for only CNY 1 when you return.
