The Qiyun Pagoda stands just east of the White Horse Temple in Luoyang. It is a square Jin-dynasty brick pagoda of thirteen close-set eaves, about 25 metres high, and is also called the Shakyamuni Relic Pagoda. The White Horse Temple is traditionally the first Buddhist temple built in China, but most of its halls date from the Ming and Qing, and Liang Sicheng pointed out that the oldest building in the temple is this Jin pagoda.
