Wanrong Hanquan Pagoda
     The Hanquan Pagoda, commonly known as "Hanquan Pagoda," is located at the western foot of Gu Mountain in Gaocun Township, Wanrong County. It is an eleven-story, square, closely-eaved brick pagoda. The pagoda stands thirty-one point two meters tall. The base is a Sumeru pedestal with a waist molding. The southern side of the first story features an arched doorway, and from the first to the fourth stories, the eaves are adorned with brick carvings of wooden-style brackets. The upper levels feature projecting eaves. The pagoda body is divided into sections by string courses, and the overall form is robust and majestic. According to historical records, it was built during the Northern Song Dynasty, specifically in the second year of the Jingyou era (1035), and the pagoda was constructed alongside the temple. Currently, the Hanquan Temple has been reduced to rubble, leaving only the pagoda standing. To the east of the pagoda, there used to be a stone stele measuring seventy centimeters in length and thirty-seven centimeters in height, which recorded the reconstruction of the White-robed Hall and the Rabbit-dug Spring. This inscription used the reign title "Yongchang First Year of the Great Shun State" established by Li Zicheng of the late Ming Dynasty.

Wanrong Hanquan Pagoda is a provincial-level key cultural relics protection unit.
