Cengwen Temple Seven Treasures Pagoda

曾文寺七寶塔

In October of 1967, construction began on the Zengwen Reservoir, which was originally the core area of Dapu Township, known for producing high-quality rice. After the land for the reservoir was acquired, 2,700 graves remained submerged in the flooded area with no one to maintain them. Consequently, the government provided partial funding and collaborated with local residents to raise donations to build the Zengwen Temple's Nine-Treasure Pagoda on the left side of the township office to house these unclaimed remains. This was done in conjunction with the development of tourism in Dapu Township, and the pagoda was renovated to become a religious tourism destination.
