Title:
Flower Pagoda (Hua Ta) at Temple of the Six Banyan Trees (Liurong Si), Guangzhou, Guangdong Province.
Caption:
Liurong Si (Temple of the Six Banyan Trees), was founded over 1,400 years ago. The trees that inspired the 11th-century poet and calligrapher Su Dongpo to name the temple have since died. Overlooking it all is the Hua Ta (Flower Pagoda), a slender relic of the Song dynasty, built in 1097.
