Shen Fujun Towers

The Shen Fujun Towers in Tuxi Town are stone structures covered with detailed carvings across multiple surfaces, located in Sichuan Province. The ornamental work extends across the full height and sides of these historical buildings, showcasing the craftsmanship of earlier periods.

These structures date to ancient times and demonstrate architectural techniques and artistic expressions from that distant period. Official recognition as a Major Historical and Cultural Site came in the 20th century.

The stone carvings show traditional Chinese motifs that reflect the artistic tastes and social values of the time they were made. Walking around these structures, you can see directly what mattered to people through the symbols carved into the stone.

The towers are reachable from nearby urban areas and can be explored at your own pace. Local guides are available to show you around if you want to learn more about what you are looking at.

The carved patterns document local administrative practices and social structures through the stone itself. Recording such information permanently in this way was an unusual method to preserve knowledge for future generations.
