Xita

Xita (Chinese: 西塔; pinyin: Xī Tǎ; Korean: 서탑) is a neighborhood in Shenyang, China.

The name "Xita" (literally: Western pagoda) came from a pagoda accompanying the

Tibetan Buddhist Yanshou Temple (延寿寺). The temple was built in 1640—1645, as one of the "Four Pagodas of Early Qing" (Chinese: 清初四塔; pinyin: Qīngchū Sì Tǎ). The pagoda later fell into disrepair and was demolished in 1968 during the Cultural Revolution, but was rebuilt in 1998.^[1]

Xita neighborhood is the largest

Protestant church (Xita Church), both built in the early 20th century. The Korean shopping mall of Xita, located in a century-old commercial street, used to play a vital role in introducing international fashion styles to Shenyang.^[3]
