Ganzhou Ciyun Pagoda / Ganzhou Relic Pagoda

Ganzhou Ciyun Pagoda / Ganzhou Relic Pagoda is a cultural tourism attraction.

Ciyun Pagoda is located within the campus of Houde Road Primary School in the eastern section of Houde Road, southeast of the old city area. It was an ancillary structure of the ancient Ciyun Temple. Inscribed bricks found on the pagoda indicate that cultural relics authorities have identified its construction date as the Tian Sheng era (1023–1032) of the Northern Song Dynasty. It is a typical pavilion-style pagoda, characterized by a structure that climbs up through the body and around the balcony. The exterior of the pagoda originally featured wooden eaves and a surrounding corridor, which were destroyed by lightning and no longer exist, leaving only the main body of the pagoda. The pagoda is built from blue bricks, has nine stories and six sides, with each level featuring projecting eaves made of interlocking bricks and decorative beams, columns, and brackets crafted from brick carvings. The pagoda stands 42 meters tall and is topped with an iron steeple shaped like a lotus bud. The inner core is hexagonal and hollow; visitors can climb the internal staircase to reach the top and enjoy the scenic views of the city. It is a provincial-level key cultural relic protection unit. In 2004, the outer eaves and corridor of Ciyun Pagoda were restored.
