This hollow, hexagonal seven-story pavilion-style brick pagoda stands 36.6 meters tall and features a granite Sumeru pedestal. The north side of the ground floor… The pagoda had multiple tiers of eaves, with brackets adorning each level. On May 18, 2010, it collapsed due to a natural disaster.

Both the height and number of stories were fully restored to their original design.
