Anshan Village Peace Pagoda Introduction

The appearance of Shigandeng: Tower type total height: 5.93M circumference: 13.88M construction form: conical tower top ornament: gourd. Legend has it that there was a person with profound powers in Anshan Village. After this esteemed person passed away, the residents washed his organs by the river, but accidentally left behind the liver and intestines, which later transformed into a turtle and a snake that caused trouble in the village. The residents, unable to bear the disturbances, sought help from the Emperor of the North Pole at Anshan's North Pole Temple, who used a precious sword to subdue the troublesome turtle and snake within the tower. His sword, the turtle, and the snake became the three treasures inside the stone tower. The Peace Tower has also become a landmark of present-day Anshan, serving the function of blessing ships for safe passage. Source: Oral tradition from local elders of Anshan Village.
