Hai Bao Pagoda, popularly called "Northern
Pagoda", was not known when to have been built. It was recorded
to have been rebuilt in the 5th century (407-427).The square-type
Pagoda is built of bricks, 54 meters high with 11 floors. The niches
in every storey of it are lightly protruding. Consequently, many edges
are formed and the facade of the tower looks like a Chinese character.
Vigorous in style, such a unique architecture has avoided the stereotyped
and monotonous shape of other pagodas, giving a feeling of lightness
and spledous.
