Wentai Pagoda, Ming Dynasty pagoda in Jincheng Township, Taiwan.
The Wentai Pagoda stands as a five-level hexagonal structure built from granite blocks, featuring detailed carvings and relief works at its peak.
Built in 1387 under Marquess Chianghsia Chou Te-hsing during the Hongwu Emperor's reign, the pagoda guided ships and protected against Japanese pirates.
The pagoda's base displays Chinese calligraphy created by Ming scholar Chen Hui and contemporary artist Chang Ta-chien, reflecting artistic traditions.
Visitors can reach the pagoda by taking Routes A or F from Kinmen Airport, with bus stops requiring advance reservations.
The structure sustained damage from a 1918 earthquake and 1961 wartime events but maintains its status as a second-grade national historic relic.
