Tower of Ten Thousand BuddhasThe Tower
of Ten Thousand Buddhas, located at the northwestern corner of the compound,
was built in 1771 in honour of the 80th birthday of Emperor Qianlong's
mother. The tower contained 10,000
niches, each holding a gilded Amitayus Buddha. It's a pity they were
looted when the allied forces of the eight powers invaded Beijing in
1900.
