Wenfeng Pagoda (Duyun)

文峰塔

A Ming dynasty hexagonal, seven-story stone pagoda on the banks of the Jian River, about 33 meters tall. It is Duyun's city landmark, and its reflection on the river is especially beautiful when lit up at night.

The Wenfeng Pagoda was originally called the Wenbi Pagoda and was first built during the Wanli reign of the Ming dynasty, later restored in the Qing. It is a hexagonal, seven-story stone pagoda with closely set eaves, about 33 meters high, built to pray for prosperity in learning. The pagoda stands in Wenfeng Park beside the Jian River. The park has pavilions, covered walkways, and waterside paths. At night, when the lights come on, the pagoda's shadow and the river surface reflect each other, making it an important stop on a night cruise. Wenfeng Park is free to enter, and the pagoda itself is generally not open for climbing. It is in the southern part of the city, about 15 minutes' walk along the river from Baizi Bridge.
