Ganzhou Ciyun Pagoda / Ganzhou Relic Pagoda

　　    Ciyun Pagoda is situated within the campus of Houde Road Primary School in the eastern section of Houde Road, southeast of the old city area. It was an ancillary structure of the ancient Ciyun Temple. Inscribed bricks found on the pagoda indicate, as verified by cultural relics authorities, that it was built during the Tian Sheng era (1023–1032) of the Northern Song Dynasty. It is a typical pavilion-style pagoda, characterized by a structure that ascends through the core and around the exterior balcony. The outer wooden eaves and corridors of the pagoda were destroyed by lightning and are no longer extant, leaving only the main body. The pagoda is constructed from blue bricks, has nine stories and six sides, with each level featuring corbelled eaves and decorative brick carvings of beams, columns, and brackets. The pagoda stands 42 meters tall, topped with an iron steeple shaped like a lotus bud. The inner core is hexagonal and hollow; visitors can climb the stairs to the top for a panoramic view of the city’s scenic landscape. It is a provincial-level key cultural relic protection unit. In 2004, the outer eaves and corridors of Ciyun Pagoda were restored.
