Xiyings Wenchang Pavilion

Xiyings Wenchang Pavilion is a cultural relic protection unit of Xiangyuan County.

Xiyings Wenchang Pavilion is located 1,000 meters south of Xiyings Village, Xiying Town, Xiangyuan County, on Xiyings Mountain. Locally referred to as the "Wenchang Pavilion," it is actually a five-story brick pagoda in the 0-style. Facing north and situated on a stone base that measures 8 meters east-west, 10 meters north-south, and 0.7 meters high, it covers an area of 80 square meters. Its date of construction is unknown, but according to inscriptions inside the pagoda — including a stele from the sixth year of the Qing Tongzhi era, a founding stele, and a merit stele from the 37th year of the Qianlong era (1772) — it was built during the Qing Dynasty. The pagoda has a hexagonal floor plan, stands 18 meters tall, and is a five-story brick structure with an interior that can be climbed. Each level features carved brick eaves and a roof covered with gray tubular and flat tiles. Each floor has arched doors and windows. Two couplet pillars stand in front of the pagoda’s entrance. Four stone steles are embedded in the inner walls of the pagoda. In 1981, it was designated as a county-level cultural relic protection unit. The site provides physical material for studying local Qing Dynasty pagoda-style architecture.
