108 Dogobas are located under the cliff of Qingtong Gorge Reservoir and are 60 kilometers south from Ningxia, Yinchuan. It is a large-scale ancient tower group. It is built of solid brick and the dagobas face the east, with water and hills. The highest tower is 3.5 meters with the rest with an average height of 2.5 meters.
It lines according to the weird arrangement of odd numbers of 1, 3, 3, 5, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19 and arranged into 12 lines along the hill. The whole area is in a triangle shape. The origin of the 108 Dagobas is an enigma until now and is still a relentless riddle. There is the Birds Island near the Yellow River warehouse district by the pagodas. Thousands of migratory birds move from the south every spring and foster here.
