Pagoda of Shuimu Temple, Buddhist pagoda in Yunnanyi, Xiangyun County, China

The Pagoda of Shuimu Temple stands inside Shuimu Temple on Shuimu Mountain in Yunnanyi, Xiangyun County. It is a fifteen-storey square pagoda of the dense-eaves type, about 18.17 m tall, set on an octagonal sandstone platform and a two-tier brick lotus base. In 1605 monk Ruxiao and his disciples Haixing and Haitao repaired it and added a double-eaved pyramidal hall around the body.

The pagoda was first built during the Dali Kingdom. In 1605, the monk Ruxiao and his disciples Haixing and Haitao led a major restoration, adding a double-eaved pyramidal hall around the tower. A mid-Qing repair added a Buddha image on the south face of the first storey. The surrounding structures were demolished in the 1960s and rebuilt in 2015.

The temple and its pagoda are recorded as a county-level protected site since 30 May 1985, and the pagoda was listed as a provincial relic on 21 December 1987. In 2015 the protected area was divided into the pagoda courtyard and a forest of 72 monk burial stupas, which visitors can walk among.

The pagoda stands inside Shuimu Temple on Shuimu Mountain, in Yunnanyi Town, Xiangyun County. The site is divided into two protected zones: the pagoda courtyard and the forest of 72 monk burial stupas. The temple buildings around the tower, removed in the 1960s, were rebuilt by December 2015.

The pagoda is only one element of the national site: the protected area, fixed in June 2015, is split into the pagoda courtyard and the monks' tomb-pagoda forest, and the designation covers Shuimu Temple, the pagoda and 72 monk tomb-pagodas. The brick pagoda stands on an octagonal sandstone base topped by a double lotus pedestal.
