[Beijing] The Pagoda of Reverend Wansong (万松老人塔) is the oldest and the only remaining of its kind in Beijing, it also gave name to a nearby hutong called zhuanta hutong (砖塔胡同) which was one of the earliest in Beijing. Originally built in the Yuan dynasty, approximately 700 years ago, the Pagoda was once so rundown that it became hidden by overgrown amongst the streets and buildings of the flourishing commercial city of Beijing towards late Ming dynasty. It was renovated during the reign of Emperor Qianlong in Qing dynasty and the height was increased to 9 storeys from 7 storeys. The pagoda house the ashes of Reverend Wansong Xingxiu (万松行秀禅师), a reputable monk from late Jin dynasty and Yuan dynasty, who is well versed in Buddhism and Confucian teachings. He was highly respected by Emperor Zhangzong of Jin (金章宗) and Yelü Chucai (耶律楚材), the Prime Minister of the Mongol empire. Today the pagoda still remains pretty undetectable when you take a walk down the street, but it is no longer in a bad state after a major renovation in 2010. It was open to the public in 2014 and a bookshop named Zhengyang Bookstore (正阳书局) was open right beside the pagoda. They are famous for publishing old maps of Beijing and you can find many good books introducing the history of old Beijing here too, though their prices are slightly on the high side, but definitely worth it as you can’t find many of those elsewhere. 📍Beijing, China. 中国北京。🇨🇳 . . . #china #beijing #forbiddencity #explorebeijing #travelthroughthelenses #nonmainstream #ancientchina #travelgram #igchina #history #chinatravel #seetheworld #bitesize #beijinger #chinese #chinesearchitecture #citygrammers #oldplaces #chinaexplorer #discoverchina #createexplore #autumn #instatravel #sihantravels #igdaily #instabeijing #notatourist #中国 #北京 #故宫
