What is the charm of the Hua Pagoda that even Emperor Qianlong climbed?

Whenever Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty went to the south of the Yangtze River and left the capital, his first stop was Zhengding County. Every time he arrived in Zhengding, Emperor Qianlong would go to Guanghui Temple, and when he went to Guanghui Temple, he would definitely climb the Hua Pagoda. What is the charm of this pagoda that made Emperor Qianlong love it so much? [Cute] Hua Pagoda of Guanghui Temple, also known as Duobao Pagoda and Hua Pagoda, is located in Guanghui Temple on the east side of Shengmin Street, Zhengding Town, Zhengding County, Hebei Province. It is said that it was first built during the Zhenyuan period of the Tang Dynasty (785-804). According to the shape of the tower and analysis of relevant literature, it should be a relic of the Jin Dynasty. Huata is a unique type of ancient Chinese pagoda. On March 4, 1961, the Hua Pagoda of Guanghui Temple was announced by the State Council of the People's Republic of China as the first batch of national key cultural relics protection units. [TeaDrinker] The Guanghui Temple Hua Pagoda is an octagonal brick-carved imitation wood-frame pavilion-style flower pagoda. It consists of a main tower and an auxiliary small tower, all made of bricks, built on the same square base. The overall plan is octagonal, with a total width of 6.2 meters on the four front faces and a width of 3.5 meters on the four sloping faces. The main tower is in the center, and an auxiliary tower is built on each of the four sloping faces. There is an inner corridor 1.36 meters wide between the main tower and the auxiliary tower. Guanghui Temple was first built during the Zhenyuan period of the Tang Dynasty (785-804) and is one of the eight ancient temples in Zhengding. Because the only building left in the temple is a Hua Pagoda, it is also called "Hua Pagoda Temple". The Hua Pagoda of Guanghui Temple was first built in the Tang Dynasty, but was later destroyed. The existing pagoda is a relic of the Jin Dynasty. 🚗 Location: East of Shengmin Street, Zhengding Town, Zhengding County, Hebei Province. Opening hours: 8:00~18:00. Transportation information: Take Zhengding Microbus No. 1 to reach Guanghui Temple Huata; take Shijiazhuang Bus No. 130 and get off at Guanghui Temple Station.
