Guifeng Pagoda, Television tower and cultural heritage site in Heyuan, China.

The Guifeng Pagoda is a multi-tiered tower in Heyuan that combines traditional Chinese design with practical modern needs. Its structure features curved rooflines and decorative elements typical of classical architecture while housing contemporary broadcasting equipment.

The pagoda was developed to merge classical architectural traditions with modern broadcasting requirements, creating a hybrid structure. In 2006, it received official designation as a nationally protected cultural monument, marking recognition of its importance to Chinese heritage.

The name references a sacred mountain in Chinese tradition, reflecting the spiritual significance embedded in this site. Walking around it, you can observe how ancient architectural styles blend with contemporary functions in everyday use.

The pagoda is accessible from Shangcheng Street district in Heyuan, Guangdong Province. Walking through the surrounding streets will bring you directly to the site without any major obstacles.

This structure was among the first to successfully combine classical pagoda design with telecommunications equipment, making it a pioneer in adaptive preservation. The solution demonstrates how heritage monuments can remain functional and relevant in contemporary life while retaining their original character.
