 Wanbu Huayanjing Pagoda stands eleven miles east of the city. It used to be a place where nearly ten thousand volumes of Huayan Scripture were preserved and so got its name. Wanbu means ten thousand volumes and Huayanjing means Huayan Scripture. The pagoda is white all through thus has another name White Pagoda (Bai Ta).
This pagoda is by far the most exquisite one kept today dating from the Liao Dynasty (907-1125). It is a brick-wood structure about one hundred and fifty feet tall and looks magnificent. There are spiral stairs inside and you can climb up to look far into the distance.
The bricks on its surface were carved with fine pictures. Inside you can find many scriptures written in different language including Chinese, Tibetan, Mongolian, and the languages of Nvzhen, Qidan and other ethnic groups which demonstrate that each nationality has associated and exchanged culture with each other for a long time.
The city is accessible by bus.
