Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
There is a pagoda named Ci's Pagoda on the southwest side of Dongting Lake. The pagoda is 39 meters high. It is a masonry structure with seven octagonal floors. The base of the tower is made of granite, and the body of the tower is made of blue bricks, which is very rich in the artistic style of the Tang and Song Dynasties. The tower starts from the second floor, and there are small Buddha niches around each floor, which originally contained Buddha statues. There is a small bell hanging on the corner of the eaves, and when the wind blows, you will hear the tinkling sound of the bell. The exterior of this tower is exquisite, but it is a pity that the interior is solid, otherwise it is also a good place to overlook the beauty of Dongting. Legend has it that in ancient times, there were water monsters in Dongting Lake, who often came out to harm the people, and the people were miserable. So everyone raised funds and prepared to build a pagoda to suppress the demon. Near the place where the tower was repaired, there lived a family. She heard that she was going to build a tower to ward off demons, donated all the money she had saved over the years, and kept burning tea and water for the people who built the tower, running back and forth day and night. Unfortunately, the tower was not completed, and she passed away. In order to commemorate her, the pagoda was named Ci's Pagoda, and a Ci's Temple was built beside the pagoda.

慈氏塔位於洞庭湖畔,距離岳陽樓景區步行15分鐘,矍鑠古樸,建於北宋開寶年間,歷代有修繕,七層樓閣式磚塔,在塔旁稍坐,涼風習習,思古而今
整座宝塔分为塔基,塔座,还有塔身三个部分,基本上符合了一座宝塔的元素,其他就没有什么多余的地方了,也没有什么寺庙建在附近,是比较孤独的一座塔。
这边现在附近周边都是老房子了,所以步行过来的路并不算特别好走,周边也是频临改造当中,在这边也是比较综合混乱的感觉,不过宝塔这边还是很好的被保护起来。
慈氏塔位于洞庭湖边西南,塔为砖石结构,楼阁式,八角七层,通高39米。宝塔巍然耸立,雄视洞庭湖,为“巴陵胜状”之一。这一宏伟的建筑,体现着唐宋时期的艺术风格。可惜塔为实心,不能登临眺望洞庭风光。
慈氏塔是岳阳这边为数不多的北宋时期建筑物,至今年有1000多年的历史了,期间,虽然经过多次的重修,但是主体部分还是保留着原来的基础,可以说是这边非常古老的文物。
