The full name of Zangniang Ancient Pagoda in Tibetan is "Zangniang Qiedan Bajilunpo", which means "Zangniang Pagoda is self-contained". Zangniang Pagoda is a Tibetan Buddhist pagoda with earth, stone and wood structure, facing east from west. There are reserved darkrooms and "underground palaces" in the upper and lower parts of the tower core, and the rest are solid. It is said that seven-color sand called holy objects is hidden in the darkroom.
The Tibetan Niang Ancient Pagoda was built by the Indian scholar Midi in 1030 AD when he preached Buddhism in the Tongtian River Basin in Yushu. It has a history of 970 years. The tower is 40 meters high and 200 meters in circumference. The ancient pagoda has a unique shape and is well preserved. The construction of the ancient Zangniang pagoda marks the beginning of the post-spread period of Buddhism in Kham, and is of great significance in the history of the development of Tibetan Buddhism. There are records of the pagoda in many Tibetan and Han historical books such as "A Brief History of Tibetan Buddhism". It has a great influence in Tibetan areas, and many Buddhists come to worship and visit at all distances.
The Zangniang Pagoda contains many treasures that Buddhism relies on, and the inscriptions in front of the pagoda record the immeasurable merits and virtues of visiting this pagoda. The special reincarnation system of Master Mead reincarnated once every 500 years also began. It is said that when Master Meade left the Zangniang Pagoda, he predicted that there would be a reincarnation 500 years later, and continued to complete the restoration of the top of the pagoda. The temple next to the Zangniang Pagoda is called Sangzhou Temple, also known as "Longzhu Temple". The full name is "Sangzhou Deqingling", which means "Ruyi Dale Temple". It is now a Sakya temple.
