Golden Pagoda

The Golden Pagoda is located on the east bank of the Xixi River in Fenghe Village, Wucheng Town, Wuwei City, Wuhu City, Anhui Province. It was first built in the first year of Xianping in the Northern Song Dynasty (998) and has been repaired many times since the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The Golden Pagoda is a hexagonal plane with a width of 3.4 meters and a height of 37 meters. It has 9 floors. The first and second floors and the second and third floors are double-layered eaves. The eaves are all mandarin ducks. The lower half of the lower floor is a Buddha niche room. The east, south, and north sides of the second floor are each equipped with a Buddha niche seat, and the top has a wooden caisson. There were originally some pagoda inscriptions in the tower, but they were all lost. The Golden Pagoda is one of the known existing Buddhist pagoda buildings in Anhui Province. It has the typical characteristics of the Song Dynasty's imitation wooden tower-style tower. It is an important physical example for studying the history of Chinese Buddhist architecture. In 1981, the Golden Pagoda was announced by the People's Government of Anhui Province as a key cultural relic protection unit in Anhui Province. On March 5, 2013, the Golden Pagoda was announced by the State Council of the People's Republic of China as the seventh batch of national key cultural relics protection units.
