## About Haibao Pagoda

Haibao Temple lies on the northern outskirts of Yinchuan. This ancient temple, with over 1,500 years of history, is the only nationally key open-to-visitors temple in Yinchuan. Its Haibao Pagoda is the oldest Buddhist structure in Ningxia. The pagoda echoes the Chengtian Temple Pagoda in the city and is one of the Eight Scenes of Ningxia, long praised as “Ancient Pagoda Soaring to the Skies.” The pagoda stands on a spacious square base; including the base, it has eleven levels and a total height of 54 m. The tower body is square, with a ridge projecting from the middle of each face, forming the shape of the character 亚 (ya). It is one of China's Sixteen Famous Pagodas. The Ullambana Festival held on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month is especially lively every year.
