History

edit

Tianning Temple, originally founded during the Sui dynasty, was initially named Changshou Temple. It was renamed Dayun Temple during the Tang Dynasty and later renamed Tianning Temple during the Jin Dynasty when the pagoda was constructed. The temple itself has been destroyed, leaving only the pagoda remaining. The pagoda is a thirteen-tiered dense-eaves style brick structure with a beautifully parabolic shape, standing at 32.76 meters tall[2]
