Location: 2 kilometers of Dunhuang

Description: White Horse Pagoda was originally built in 386 AD. Legend has it that 1,350 years ago, a prominent monk was riding to Japan to spread Buddhism.?On route, his horse dropped dead at Dunhuang.? He was so disconsolate that he buried the horse and built a pagoda in memory of it.

After numerous renovations, this nine-story, 12-meter-tall and seven-meter-in-diameter pagoda has become one of the major tourist magnets in Dunhuang.
