## About Daocheng White Pagoda

Along the road from Litang to Daocheng stands a majestic, immaculate cluster of white pagodas. The group is arranged in five tiers. At the top tier stands a tall white pagoda at the centre, surrounded by four tiers of smaller pagodas, with 15, 23, 31 and 39 pagodas on each tier from top to bottom, making 108 small pagodas in total encircling the large one. The impressive ensemble is striking. Rows of prayer wheels line the bases of the pagodas for Tibetan devotees to worship.
