Ancient Xizi Pagoda

The pagoda is situated in Dazhu Village, Fukou Town. It was built during the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty and is made of blue stone, designed in the shape symbolic of respecting written characters (Xizi). The pagoda is approximately 5 meters high, divided into three tiers, with a base covering around 12 square meters. On the front side of the pagoda, there is an inscription handwritten by Luo Radian, who served as the Governor-General of Yunnan and Guizhou during the Qing Dynasty. Various sides of the pagoda are adorned with carved stone floral patterns. On the eastern side, there is a small window on both the first and third levels. The pagoda is well-preserved and is just 1 kilometer away from the Meijiang Scenic Area, about 5 kilometers from National Highway 207. When Mao Zedong visited Fukou during his educational tour, he explored this pagoda with Luo Yuxiong, Luo Zonghan, and Luo Zhuoxiong. The group engaged in deep discussions about history, debated the current political situation, expressed lofty aspirations for saving the nation and its people, and shared passionate ideals. Local residents still frequently recount their stories to this day.
