Hui Feng Brick Pagoda

Hui Feng Brick Pagoda is a cultural relic protection unit of Xinzhou City.

Hui Feng Brick Pagoda, located about one li (approximately 500 meters) north of Hui Feng Village, roughly 13 kilometers northwest of Dingxiang County in Xinzhou City, Shanxi Province, was first built in the first year of the Yuanyou era of the Song Dynasty (1086 AD) according to historical records.

The pagoda is 17 meters high and consists of seven stories. The bottom level is square with internal wooden supports. Its eaves feature a pattern of one row of flat bricks and four projecting brick corners, finished with tiled edges. The upper six levels are all hexagonal, decreasing in size from the bottom up, with each level featuring mock-wooden bracket sets on the eaves. The upper levels include mock-wooden rafters and are topped with tiled edges. At the very top is an iron spire.

The entire structure is made of brick, standing 17 meters tall with seven levels. Hui Feng Brick Pagoda was designated as a county-level cultural relic protection unit in 1981 and was listed as a municipal-level cultural relic protection unit of Xinzhou City in 2007.
