Today I want to introduce the ancient building to you which was one of old building and has one thousand years of history in our local area.The stupa was built by Cathayan in Liao dynasty in 1044 and still looks as it did originally.

Speaking of the stupa, interestingly enough, it is not far from my house and I have never paid attention to it. Last weekend, my friends invited me to have a stroll in the Tawan Park, (the stupa was in the center of the park) we spent one afternoon to enjoy the beautiful scenery..

This is Wenqu bridge, which is 40 metres long and 8 metres wide. These handrails on the bridge was made of the best white marble. Standing on the bridge, you can see the Huilong temple and square.

This is Huilong Temple.
It was founded in Tang Dynasty, rebuit in Qing dynasty then was destroyed in 1904 because of Russo-Japanese War. Now what we saw was built in 2006, and it is also the centre of Buddhism in Liaoning province.

The stupa is thirteen stories high, and is Octagonal, as there are many Buddha's relics kept in it, so it is called dagoba.
Every summer there are many lotus in the pond, green trees around the pond, a cool summer breeze is blowing, it's so enjoyable to walk in here. Now the park is a good place of outdoor leisure activites for many people.
