Zhenfeng Pagoda

The Zhenfeng Pagoda near a bend in the Yangtze River in Anqing, Anhui province, was originally built in the Ming Dynasty and has a history spanning over 400 years. Built of brick and standing at 60.86 meters tall, each of the pagoda's seven stories has seven corners, thereby creating a heptagon. Above the windows on each floor are a set of flying eaves. From the first to the sixth floor, arched doorways lead to an outside balcony. A total of 168 stairs inside the pagoda allow access to the top floor. The walls are tapered slightly, shaping the structure into a partial cone.
