Shengxiang Pagoda, Buddhist pagoda in Wuchang, China

The Shengxiang Pagoda measures 9.36 meters in height and 5.68 meters in width, constructed with external stone walls and internal brick foundations.

Built during the transition between Yuan and Ming dynasties, this pagoda remains the oldest structure preserved on the former Yellow Crane Tower site.

The pagoda incorporates elements of Tibetan Buddhist architecture and represents the first type of stupa constructed in China after Buddhism arrived from India.

Visitors can explore different levels of the structure while learning about Buddhist practices through exhibitions and cultural demonstrations throughout the year.

The pagoda stands one kilometer from the current Yellow Crane Tower location, featuring traditional stone masonry techniques from medieval Chinese architecture.
