Qianqing Kunning Pagoda

Qianqing Kunning Pagoda is a cultural heritage protection unit of Zhenghe County.

Qianqing Kunning Pagoda is a county-level cultural heritage protection unit. Originally located on a riverside cliff on the northeast side of Fozishan Mountain, about 500 meters southeast of Guanhucun Village in the suburbs, it was first built in December of the fourth year of the Zhengtong era (1439) during the reign of Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty. It is a solid stone pagoda designed in the style of an imitation pavilion, featuring a Sumeru pedestal, a hexagonal shape, and seven stories, with an overall height of 8 meters. The body of the pagoda is constructed from whole granite blocks, each 45 centimeters wide in each face and 41 centimeters high, assembled from the bottom up with each successive tier slightly narrower. Each face features one bas-relief Buddha statue, totaling 42 statues. The waist and upper beam sections each have inscriptions engraved in intaglio on every face. In 1982, due to the threat of a mountain collapse endangering the stone pagoda, it was carefully dismantled and relocated 200 meters southwest.
