Conghua Wenfeng Pagoda

Category: Tourist Attractions 👁 100 views

Wenfeng Pagoda is located at the foot of Zhiling Hill near Jiekou Town, where the Longtan River, Xiaohai River, and Liuxi River converge, about 2 kilometers from the urban area. It was first built in the 47th year of the Wanli reign during the Ming Dynasty (1619) with the hope of promoting culture and education—hence its name. In the 32nd year of the Kangxi reign during the Qing Dynasty (1693), it was renovated and expanded to seven stories, and was listed as one of the newly added Six Scenic Spots of Conghua, known as “Zhiling Pagoda Shadow.” Later, due to years of neglect, the ancient pagoda fell into ruin. In 1993, a nine-story pagoda was rebuilt on the original site, restored again in 1993. The pagoda has nine levels, is octagonal in shape, and each level is covered with glazed tiles.
