Located atop Tiandingjiao Mountain on the southern bank of the Xijiang River, the pagoda was built in the fourth year of the Daoguang reign during the Qing Dynasty (1824). Constructed from blue bricks, it features a hexagonal structure that rises seven stories to a height of 34 meters. Each level is adorned with lotus-patterned bas-reliefs on the eaves, creating a magnificent sight. The first floor bears the inscription "Wenluan Songxiu" (Literary Peaks Rise Gracefully), engraved by Yuan Weishuan, the magistrate of Wuzhou during the Qing Dynasty. The second floor once displayed the three characters "Bingwei Pagoda" (now lost) in the calligraphy of Chen Jichang, the top scholar of the Qing Dynasty and transport commissioner of Guangxi.
