  [Zoujiadun, Liuhe Village, Qiliping Town, Hong'an County · Qing Dynasty · Provincial Cultural Relics Protection Unit]

  Originally constructed by Xu Shouhui's rebel army during the late Yuan Dynasty uprising, and later renovated in the Qing Dynasty. It is a hollow, sixteen-sided, thirteen-story brick pagoda with a total height of 40 meters and a base side length of 2.55 meters. The first floor features an arched gate on the northeast side, measuring 2 meters in height and 0.7 meters in width, housing a shrine dedicated to Kṣitigarbha. From the second floor upward, Buddha niches face west, interspersed with arched doors and windows. Each level is adorned with brick brackets, eaves corners, and balustrades. There are five bracket sets per side, and false windows are decorated with diamond-grid patterns. A spiral brick staircase with 128 steps leads to the top of the pagoda.

  

The Twin Pagodas are a National Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit.
