#Baita Temple Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Jizhou Baitasi
Baitasi, located in Jizhou District, Tianjin City, is a temple that became famous because of its pagoda and is a significant Buddhist cultural heritage. The White Pagoda is ingeniously structured and exquisitely shaped, making it a rare piece of religious art.
Baitasi was originally part of the early Dule Temple and was rebuilt in the fourth year of the Qingning era of the Liao Dynasty. The Jizhou White Pagoda is 30.6 meters tall, with an octagonal plan and a snow-white body, featuring a distinctive shape. It consists of a stone base, a pavilion-style imitation wood structure of the Sumeru base, the pagoda body, the covering bowl, the thirteen rings, and the stupa, representing a fusion of Indian Buddhist relics and Chinese national cultural heritage.
The White Pagoda Temple has three main halls with three sets of colored Buddha statues, representing Sakyamuni with Ananda and Kasyapa; Avalokitesvara with the Dragon Girl and Sudhana; and Ksitigarbha with Zhang Ming and his son.
Jizhou White Pagoda Temple was approved by the State Council of the People's Republic of China as a national key cultural relics protection unit in 2013.

All Dharma is born of causality - Jizhou Baita Temple
The Confucian Temple, Luban Temple, Dule Temple, Drum Tower and Baita Temple are the five ancient buildings in the ancient city of Jizhou, all within walking distance of each other. Baita Temple is located at the south end of Taixi Hutong at the east and west entrances of Wuding Street in the ancient city, about a kilometer from the mountain gate of Dule Temple. Historically, Baita Temple was also part of Dule Temple. However, with the changes of the times, it has now become a temple with an independent courtyard. The White Pagoda was rebuilt in the fourth year of Qingning in the Liao Dynasty (1058), and it has been nearly a thousand years now. The eight sentences of the Dharma Body Relics on the pagoda are profound, seeing the cause and effect is seeing the Dharma, and seeing the Dharma is seeing the Buddha. Beijing, Daixian, Wutai, Hohhot, Jixian, there are white pagodas in many places in the north, and the regulations and images are different, each with its own beauty.
