Anshan Village Peace Pagoda Introduction
Shigandang Overview: Type: Tower Total Height: 5.93 meters Circumference: 13.88 meters Structure: Conical Top Ornament: Gourd Legend: Once in Anshan Village, there was a person with profound magical powers. After this extraordinary villager passed away, the residents washed his internal organs by the river but accidentally left behind his liver and intestines. These later transformed into a turtle and a snake that caused trouble in the village. Unable to bear the disturbance, the residents sought help from the deity of the Anshan Beiji Palace, who used a precious sword to subdue the troublesome turtle and snake, imprisoning them within the tower. The sword, turtle, and snake became the three treasures of the stone tower. The Peace Pagoda has also become a landmark of present-day Anshan, serving the function of ensuring the safe passage of vessels. Source: Oral account from local elders of Anshan Village.
