The '''108 Pagodas''' are situated under the cliffs on the western bank of the [[Qingtong Gorge Reservoir]], 60 km south of [[Yinchuan]]. They are solid brick structures of Lamaism, with the highest standing at 3.5 m. They were arranged in 12 rows on a slope, each row in odd number. Their construction was said to have started during the [[Western Xia]] period (1038-1227), earthen adobes at first. When they were repaired in the [[Ming]] and [[Qing]] times, the original earthen abodes were turned into brick ones.
