Wenfeng Pagoda
|
Wenfeng Pagoda,the symbol of Anyang, is famous for its unique style of structure. |
| Wenfeng Pagoda(Chinese:文峰塔;pinyin:wénfēngtǎ) is famous for its unique style of structure. Just on the contrary to the ususal form of common Pagodas, it is wider and wider from the bottom to the top, looking like an umbrella, unique in style both at home and abroad. It is on the ruins of the Tianning Temple at the northwest corner of the former city of Anyang. Wenfeng Pagoda is 38.65 meters tall while the perimeter of the Pagoda foundation is 40 meters long. It has brick Pagoda body and wood eaves. The octagonal body of the Pagoda standing on the round lotus-like foundations of seven floors interlacing with each other and extending both to the left and right enhances the solidity and beauty of the Pagoda. Tourists can step up into the Pagoda by the platform of 2 meters tall at the bottom entry facing south, and reach the top after 72 coiling steps. |
