Zhongjiang Pagoda
中江塔
A Ming–Qing ancient pagoda at the confluence of the Qingyi River and the Yangtze. It is a landmark of Wuhu's riverbank and a great spot to watch the sunset over the water.
Zhongjiang Pagoda stands where the Qingyi River flows into the Yangtze. Begun in the Wanli reign of the Ming dynasty and completed in the Qing, it is a five-storey octagonal brick pagoda. In ancient times it served as a navigation marker for boats entering and leaving Wuhu port, and it is considered one of the city's symbols. Climbing the pagoda is generally not permitted, but it can be seen up close from the riverside park path. Sunsets over the river and pagoda are especially photogenic in the evening. It is about a 15-minute walk from Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street and Jinghu Lake, and can be combined with the Old Customs House and St. Joseph's Cathedral.
