Wanxiang Mountain Park

Wanxiang Mountain Park

Guide:

The Lingjiu Temple Pagodas are located on Wanxiang Mountain in Lishui city. There are four pagodas, numbered 1 to 4 from south to north, which share roughly similar appearances and structures. Built during the Southern Song Dynasty, the Lingjiu Temple Pagodas in Lishui retain the legacy of "stupa-style" design. The finials of Pagodas 1, 2, and 4 are all damaged, while Pagoda 3 is relatively intact, standing 4.2 meters tall overall with a spire height of 2.0 meters. The entire pagoda consists of three parts: the base, the body, and the top. The base is hexagonal with a Sumeru pedestal; the body is oval-shaped, hollow, and carved with lions, lotuses, sacred flowers, Buddha statues, and guardian warriors.

The top finial features a hexagonal eaves structure with an arched design, atop which are arranged, in sequence, a dome, a precious bead, a floral ornament, a finial wheel (five tiers in total), and a precious canopy.

Originally situated on Lingjiu Mountain, 10 kilometers east of Lishui city, they were relocated in 1959 to Qianxishan at the outskirts of Yunhe County, and then moved to their current location in 1980.

Located in the southwestern corner of the city and nestled by the river, the area is exquisitely charming. Since the Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, structures such as Wanxiang Tower, Chongfu Temple, Yilan Pavilion, Yanyu Tower, Daguan Pavilion, and the Qinhuaihai Ancestral Hall, as well as Dongtian Tower, have been built here successively. With winding mountain paths, towering ancient trees, and pavilions scattered among them, it has long been known as the "Misty Rain of the Immortal Realm."

In 1979, it was developed into a park, and subsequently structures such as the Martyrs’ Monument, Daguan Pavilion, Wangjiang Pavilion, Yanyu Pavilion, Deyue Tower, and Yanyu Tower were constructed.
