Wuying Pagoda, Stone pagoda at Xingfu Temple in Wuchang, China.

The Wuying Pagoda stands 11.25 meters tall with eight sides and seven stories, featuring Buddhist carvings across four levels of its stone structure.

Built in 1270 during the Southern Song Dynasty, the pagoda underwent multiple relocations before settling at its current location near Hongshan Park in the 1960s.

The pagoda contains numerous Buddhist statues within its niches, reflecting the religious practices and architectural traditions of medieval Chinese society.

Visitors can access the pagoda grounds throughout the year, with the structure being particularly visible during morning hours when sunlight illuminates its stone facades.

Local records indicate the pagoda displays an unusual optical phenomenon during solstices, when its shadow appears to vanish completely from the ground.
