[2025 Feixi Attraction] Travel Guide for Guocui Tower (Updated Mar)

#favouriteitinerary Wangyue Pavilion, also known as National Essence Tower, stands 37 meters tall and is a seven-story ancient pagoda. Wangyue Bridge is an arched stone bridge with steps, constructed entirely of thick green stone slabs, with railings featuring green stone relief carvings. Personal Opinion: In my opinion, Wangyue Pavilion and Wangyue Bridge are captivating destinations for those interested in traditional Chinese architecture and historical landmarks. The impressive height of the pagoda and the intricate carvings on the bridge make them must-visit sites for anyone exploring the area.
