Chengmai Wenbi Peak Pagoda
Wenbi Peak Pagoda, also known as Wenfeng Pagoda, is located 2 kilometers north of Wenda Village in Majia Town. It was funded and built by the villagers of Wenda Village in the sixth year of the Chongzhen reign during the Ming Dynasty (1633). The pagoda faces south and is a nine-story, four-cornered, pavilion-style stone structure. Its square base measures 4.23 meters on each side, and the pagoda stands 10.5 meters tall. The inner chamber features a wall-climbing spiral staircase. The second floor has carved statues of muscular figures at the four corners to support the structure, and the fourth floor bears an inscribed stone plaque in the center of the southern face, reading “Wenbi Peak” in relief. The pagoda was once surrounded by a railing and covers an area of 50 square meters. Standing beside the village, the pagoda adds charm to the landscape and symbolizes the aspiration for flourishing literature and the cultivation of talent.
