Phoenix Tower
Phoenix Tower, also known as the Lower Tower, has seven levels and was built on Fenghuang Mountain south of Yongkang City. The tower features spiral stone steps that lead to the top, offering panoramic views. This tower was originally built by monks from “Pugao Nunnery.” In late spring, young village girls often came here for outings, and a folk rhyme has been passed down to this day: “On the third day of the third lunar month and the eighth day of the fourth lunar month, country girls frolic at the Lower Tower.” Local residents traditionally visited the tower during the Dragon Boat Festival. It was once bustling with visitors. The tower collapsed in the 16th year of the Republic of China (1927) and was rebuilt in 1999.
