"Yan Pagoda Inscription" is one of the "Eight Scenic Spots of Leiyang" and is also a famous brick pagoda in Guangdong Province. Sanyuan Pagoda was built in the 43rd year of the Wanli reign of the Ming Dynasty (1615 AD) by Ouyang Bao, the magistrate of Leizhou Prefecture. It was originally named "Qixiu".

The base is inlaid with relief stone carvings of birds and animals with lifelike expressions and vivid expressions, which have been highly praised by poets and writers of all generations. In December 1979, Sanyuan Pagoda was announced as a cultural relic protection unit in Guangdong Province by the People's Government of Guangdong Province.
