• ... that the White Dagoba at the Lianxing Temple in Yangzhou was not built by Iranian nomads 1000 years ago? Source: Snow, Edgar; et al. (10 August 1929), "Journeying through Kiangsu: From Shanghai to the Capital via the Shanghai Nanking Railway", China Weekly Review, vol. XLIX, Shanghai: Millard Publishing Co., p. 568, for the fact that some people used to believe that. Every other source in the article and world for the fact that it's wrong.
  • ALT1: ... that the White Dagoba at the Lianxing Temple in Yangzhou was probably not originally made of an enormous pile of salt? Source: Morris, Edwin T. (1983), The Gardens of China: History, Art, and Meanings, New York: Scribner, p. 122, for the fact that it's a traditional story in China. "White Pagoda", Official site, Yangzhou: Slender West Lake Scenic Spot, 2023, for it probably being wrong in the opinion of the site's caretakers and official historians.
  • ALT2: ... that the Taiping rebels destroyed most of Yangzhou's Lianxing Temple but left its White Dagoba alone so it could be used as a watchtower? Source: Olivová, Lucie B. (2009), "Building History and the Preservation of Yangzhou", Lifestyle and Entertainment in Yangzhou, NIAS Studies in Asian Topics, No. 44, Copenhagen: Nordic Institute of Asian Studies, p. 17.

Created by LlywelynII (talk). Self-nominated at 20:13, 3 February 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Lianxing Temple; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

• New enough, long enough, well-sourced and presentable. AGF for the sources of the hooks (Edgar Snow mentioned this temple??!) Original hook sounds fun. All three hooks appeared in the article. QPQ confirmed. ! Indeed, another nice little place in Yangzhou. Good food there. Cheers, --The Lonely Pather (talk) 21:00, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
