The pagoda in its modern shape was built from 1931 through 1933 in memory of officers and soldiers of national revolutionary army.
The most beautiful view to all sides is opened from the Linggu pagoda. The only hindrance while enjoying the landscape — were large wasps that were flying around.

A craftsman making Chinese stamps is working in the park not far from the pagoda. There is some resemblance of actor Steven Seagal to this craftsman. Walking in the park Chinese men ordered each a stamp worth of 300 yuans ($45 USD), and after they were ready, they were running around the table fighting for the right to pay for them.
The craftsman, having noticed my interest, made a tempting discount for me and I decided to order a stamp from him.
