m

Guanghui Temple Huata (also known as Guanghui Temple Flower Pagoda and Guanghui Temple Multipurpose Pagoda) is located on Guanghui Road, Zhengding County, Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province, People's Republic of China, and is a 4-story octagonal Huata. The tower was built in the Tang Dynasty and rebuilt in the Dading years of the Jin Dynasty. The entire pagoda has 3 floors in the style of an attic, with steps on the first and second floors, and 2 statues of Buddha enshrined in the heart chamber of the pagoda on the third floor. The fourth layer is a bouquet-shaped pagoda statue of warriors, elephants, lions and Bodhisattvas. During the Republic of China period, the four sets of chambers below the tower were destroyed during the war. In 1961, Guanghui Temple Huata was listed as a national key cultural relic protected unit. In 1999, the repair project of Guanghui Temple Huata was completed, and the whole temple was restored to its original appearance.
