Wenfeng Pagoda

Wenfeng Pagoda is a multi-tiered tower built with white ash stone, a material resistant to weather and external damage. The structure displays traditional Chinese architectural design with Buddhist elements throughout.

The pagoda was built in ancient times and played an important role in the region's scholarly development. It gained official national protection status as a Major Historical and Cultural Site in 2001.

The pagoda's name connects to the region's literary heritage and education traditions. Today it stands as a landmark that shapes how local people relate to their history and cultural identity.

Access to the pagoda comes through a mountain trail starting from Chaoyinxinsi Temple that requires careful footing. Wear appropriate shoes and plan for a steady pace when making the climb.

The pagoda was specifically built using white ash stone, an uncommon building material that offers natural protection from weathering and impact. This choice of stone makes the structure visually distinctive and contributes significantly to its durability.
