Pagoda for Liu Helun's Mantle and Alms Bowl at Louguan Terrace in Zhouzhi County of Shaanxi Province
Louguan Terrace in Zhouzhi County was a famous Taoist site, but nobody knows where all the eminent Taoist priests were buried after their deaths. Today there is only a pagoda containing priest Liu Helun's mantle and alms bowl in commemoration of him.

The solid, brick, three-storey pagoda is some nine meters high. It looks like an imitation of Buddhist multistoreyed pagodas, but has its own unique characteristics. The pagoda's steeple is different from that of other pagodas; it has no discs, no lotus-shaped pedestal and no canopy. It is a gourd-shaped cupola, and there are no ornaments related to Buddhism.
