Dayun Temple Pagoda

Commonly known as Wagang Pagoda, it stands in the northeast corner of Wagang Village, 25 kilometres south of the county seat.

It was reconstructed in the 24th year of the Wanli reign of the Ming Dynasty (1596) on the original foundation of an early Song pagoda.

Originally 21 metres tall, the octagonal seven-storey brick pagoda was built to imitate wooden architectural structures. Each tier recedes inward and is crowned with projecting eaves.

The spire and the seventh storey were later destroyed, and the present height is 19.3 metres.

The base is 0.85 metres high, with each of the eight sides measuring 1.9 metres and a perimeter of 15.2 metres.

The first storey: 4.75 metres high, perimeter 14.4 metres, with corbelled eaves.
The second storey: 3.4 metres high, perimeter 12 metres.
The third storey: 3 metres high, perimeter 10.4 metres.
The fourth storey: 2.85 metres high, perimeter 9.6 metres.
The fifth storey: 2.4 metres high, perimeter 8.8 metres.
The sixth storey: 1.6 metres high, perimeter 8 metres.
The surviving seventh storey: 0.45 metres high, perimeter 7.2 metres.

On the inner and outer walls of the first six storeys, there remain 51 bricks carved with Buddha statues, including six statues inside the central core of the pagoda.

The pagoda was listed as a county-level key cultural relic protection unit in 1959, and designated a provincial-level cultural relic protection unit in 1986.
