Something's wrong[edit]

Taihu Lake is in Jiangsu ~, not in Henan Province, like stated in the article. Either Taihu Lake or Henan as source of the stones is wrong. T6nis (talk) 16:03, 16 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"Pagoda"[edit]

It ain't. There are sources who call it that and we need to acknowledge them, but it's better to call it a dagoba (a) since Star Wars and (b) to distinguish that this is a particularly Tibetan form of stupa and has nothing to do with pagodas as generally understood and discussed. — LlywelynII 08:38, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yangzhou[edit]

I added a bit on the importance to Qing and modern Yangzhou. The provided source only mentions the Qianlong tour but the copy of the dagoba actually preceded him and had been raised for the Kangxi Emperor. It doesn't have an article yet, though, so add a new source for that point as needed but don't blank the content based on the current source. — LlywelynII 08:38, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This source is hard to see on Google but seems to mention a "Great Bridge" in Beihai Park, which the article might need to mention at some point. — LlywelynII 09:11, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Size and age[edit]

are pretty important details for a place like this. Previously, the infobox and running text disagreed with each other. Kindly source the area of the park (69 or 71 ha) and doublecheck that 11th century and 1150 are incorrect dates and construction actually began c. 1179 as currently cited. — LlywelynII 09:14, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
