The Character Warehouse Pagoda

[1 km south of Luocheng Town, Fanghu Park • Qing Dynasty • Municipal (County) Cultural Relics Protection Unit] built during the Kangxi era (1662–1722), it features a brick-and-stone pavilion-style construction with a total height of 14 meters. It stands on a hexagonal Sumeru base that is 1.0 meter wide and 3.6 meters high. The pagoda body is hexagonal in shape and tapers inward with three tiers. Each tier has six round stone columns at the corners, with three inscribed couplets carved into the columns of the façade. The tiered roofs are covered with tubular tiles, and the overhanging eaves are adorned with wind chimes. The top is crowned with a hexagonal pyramidal helmet-style roof. A small door is set into the wall of the ground floor. In July 1990, it was designated as a municipal cultural relics protection unit of Guanghan City.
