Zhenfeng Tower Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
In ancient times, it was called Huguo Yongchang Temple, also known as Ten Thousand Buddhas Pagoda, standing on the bank of the Yangtze River, inside Yingjiang Temple. Founded in the second year of Ming Longqing (1568 AD), it lasted for more than 400 years and enjoyed the reputation of "don't look at the tower after Anqing". The tower is a pavilion-style masonry structure with seven octagonal floors, and the overall outline is in the shape of a cone. The ground floor is built with a wide base, and the tower ventricles on each floor are octagonal. Each floor has a flat seat at the waist and eaves, and under the eaves is a double-copy Chinese arch with two jumps. The pagoda consists of an octagonal Xumi seat, a garden-shaped covering bowl, a spherical five-fold phase wheel and a gourd-shaped aquarium. Inside the pagoda are Amitabha Buddha, Maitreya Buddha and Wufang Buddha. The body of the pagoda is embedded with more than 1,000 statues of Buddha statues, historical myths and stories, and 54 inscriptions. Every year on August 15th, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the ice wheel hangs high in the sky, and countless tower shadows suddenly appear next to the shadows of the towers in the middle of the river. Legend has it that this is the gathering of towers on both sides of the Yangtze River in Anqing, and the annual "pilgrimage" to Zhenfeng Tower is a grand occasion. For this reason, the Zhenfeng Pagoda is also known as the "King of the Yangtze River Pagoda". For hundreds of years, the wind and rain have been sangsang, "the Yangtze River is mighty every day, and the tower shadow cannot flow". Leisurely visiting the tower is like climbing the cloud ladder, like entering the Xianque of Yaotai.
