A pagoda peeks past the Main Hall at Lingyanshan Temple in Suzhou, Jiangsu. King Fuchai of Wu built a palace on the site for his gorgeous concubines, including Xi Shi, one of the Four Beauties in Ancient China (and a spy for his enemy, King Goujian of Yue). Fuchai later converted the palace to a Daoist temple; the Buddhist temple was built on the site centuries later.
