Feiying Pagoda
飞英塔
A Song-dynasty 'pagoda within a pagoda' in northern Huzhou, with a brick-and-wood outer tower enclosing a carved stone pagoda, a rare design in China.
Feiying Pagoda stands in Feiying Park in northern Huzhou and consists of two towers. The inner tower is an octagonal five-storey stone pagoda, first built in the Tang dynasty and rebuilt in the Southern Song, covered with Buddha carvings. The outer tower is a seven-storey, pavilion-style brick-and-wood tower from the Southern Song, which encloses the entire stone pagoda. This 'pagoda within a pagoda' is extremely rare in China, and the site is a national key cultural relic protection unit. Tickets cost about 20 yuan (confirm on site). You can climb the outer tower and view the stone pagoda from inside. It is about 1.5 km from the Yishang Street area, reachable on foot or by taxi.
