The White Dagoba
view from the coal hill
The Bai Ta (White Dagoba) is a 40 m high stupa placed on the highest point on Qiónghuá Island.
Its body is made of white stone. Sun, moon and flame engravings decorate the surface of the tower.
Destroyed in 1679 by an earthquake, it was rebuilt the following year, and restored again in 1976,
because of an earthquake which occurred at Tangshan City, near Beijing City.
A reliquary, secreted inside the structure are Buddhist Scriptures, monk's
mantles and alms bowl, and the bones of monks (their remains after cremation).
