Beisi Ta and Xuanmiao Guan

Yesterday I checked out some of the historic sights in Suzhou with some friends from XJTLU. We had a yummy lunch on the main shopping street, then checked out the Xuanmiao Guan (a Daoist Temple of Mysetery) and Beisi Ta (North Pagoda), which were both built during the 3rd century AD.

  1. lots of these look familiar, did we go there last time or do all Pagodas just look the same?

  2. Yup, we certainly did. We went up Beisi Ta and we have a photo of the two of us in front of the Gian Buddah.
