Lindong South Pagoda

This pagoda at Lindong stands on a hill overlooking the railway station. Lindong was the site of the Superior Capital of the Liao Dynasty which ruled over Northeast China, the Mongolian Plateau, the northern part of the Korean Peninsula, southern portions of the Russian Far East, and the northern tip of the North China Plain between 916 and 1125 AD. The pagoda is contemporary with this period.
