A single brick from the Xiuding Temple Pagoda can buy a house in Beijing

Xiuding Temple Pagoda is located in Anyang, Henan, and was originally built during the Northern Wei Dynasty. The entire pagoda is composed of 3,775 exquisitely unique glazed bricks, giving the whole structure an incredibly prosperous feel; such carvings on a pagoda are truly unprecedented. The brick carvings are rich in content, featuring figures, animals, flowers, etc. They are detailed and lifelike; I can no longer find the words to describe these carvings. 24 of the brick carvings were stolen and lost overseas, which is a great pity. Some have been replaced, but the difference can still be seen. It is said that a single brick from the Xiuding Temple Pagoda can buy a house in Beijing. If the pagoda is locked, you can go to the courtyard opposite to find someone to unlock it.
