Shuikou Pagoda

　　The Ganzhou Shuikou Pagoda is located on the western bank of the Meijiang River, 1 kilometer south of Ningdu County. It was first built in the year 1592 during the Ming Dynasty's Wanli reign (Renchen Year). The pagoda has an exterior of seven stories and eight sides, with double eaves, a wooden central pillar, and inner wall spiral staircases. It stands 39 meters tall, with a base circumference of 34.56 meters. The pagoda structure consists of three parts: the outer wall, the inner corridor, and the central core. Stone stairs in the inner corridor allow access to all levels. The central core and the eastern, western, southern, and northern sides of the outer wall each have one door, offering views from the upper levels. The four directional doors on the ground floor’s outer wall are inlaid with carved Bagua (Eight Trigrams) patterns according to the natural cardinal directions. Many bricks inscribed with the year "Wanli Renchen" of the Ming Dynasty are still preserved. The pagoda features a rigorous structure and unique design, making it one of the outstanding examples of pavilion-style brick pagodas. It has been listed as a provincial-level cultural heritage protection unit.
