Luoxing Pagoda, Stone pagoda in Mawei District, China.

The seven-story octagonal stone structure stands 31.5 meters tall at the intersection of Minjiang and Wulong rivers in Fujian Province.

The original Northern Song Dynasty pagoda was destroyed by an earthquake, leading to its reconstruction between 1621 and 1627 during the Ming Dynasty.

The stone pagoda functions as a maritime beacon with numerous lantern niches on its exterior walls, guiding ships entering and exiting Mawei Port.

Located twenty-one kilometers southeast of Fuzhou, the pagoda sits on Luoxing Mountain, offering clear views of maritime traffic in the area.

Unlike many Chinese pagodas, this structure shows no connection to Buddhism, serving purely as a navigational aid for maritime vessels.
