Meilang Twin Pagodas 美郎双塔
The twin pagodas were built in the early Yuan Dynasty, dating back over 800 years. Known as the "Sisters Pagodas" for a local story of a villager building them to honor his two daughters—one who married, one who became a Buddhist nun.
The pagodas are beautifully carved, decorated with Buddha, lotus petal, elephant, lion, unicorn, tiger, unicorn, horse and auspicious patterns. They are both around 13 metres tall. They are amongst the best preserved Yuan Dynasty towers in Hainan island and protected at the state level.
