Introduction to Sugong Pagoda (苏公塔)
The Sugong Pagoda is also known as the Emin Pagoda or Turpan Pagoda, it is located 2 km southeast of Turpan on an open field. The pagoda is a round cone shaped tower built with a grayish yellow brick, the tower is simple yet clean. There are 14 different shapes around this cone shaped structure, very attractive. The inside of the tower is more fascinating, as there is no beam supporting the tower it self, instead there is a 72 step spiral staircase acting as its support, it does not just support the tower it self, but also enables people to climb the pagoda. This is under the condition of the lack of wood materials, the engineers of Turpan’s creation of a structure filled with Islamic style. |
