Upper Wenming Pagoda stands on the Yaowan Hilltop on the south bank of the Mishui River, across the water from the county seat, one kilometer away from town. It was initiated and built by Magistrate Xu Ximing in the Bingzi year of the Wanli reign of the Ming Dynasty (1576). This octagonal seven-story pagoda is 21 meters tall. It rests on a red stone foundation with blue brick walls. Each side of the base measures 3.58 meters, covering a ground area of 42 square meters. A stone lintel from Qiyang is embedded above the gate, carved with three neat, forceful Chinese characters reading "Wenming Pagoda".

Middle Wenming Pagoda sits on the Zaojiaoshu Water Mouth Hilltop on the south bank of the Mishui River in the western suburbs, roughly five kilometers from the county seat. First proposed and constructed by Magistrate Xu Ximing in 1576, the pagoda collapsed in the Renxu year of the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty (1742). The following year, Magistrate Feng Yundong raised funds with local gentry to rebuild it. Entirely laid with bluestone slabs, it is a hexagonal five-story structure standing 9.7 meters high, with a base side length of 3.2 meters and a footprint of 35.8 square meters. A square stone pillar runs through the center with a vertical hollow passage, allowing visitors to climb to the top.

Lower Wenming Pagoda is located in Tongba Village, Yatangpu Township, west of the county seat, right in the middle of the Mishui River, seven kilometers from town. No written records survive of its construction date. Research confirms it was erected slightly later than the Upper and Middle Pagodas, with a history of roughly more than 200 years to date. Built entirely of red stone, this octagonal seven-story pagoda reaches a height of 22.35 meters and covers about 64 square meters. Its foundation is shaped like a bridge pier, pointed at the front and broad at the rear to withstand the impact of river currents. Though standing amid the river, the pagoda remains towering and unshaken.
