Zhenfeng Pagoda was originally called Wanfo Pagoda, also known as Yingjiang Temple Pagoda, and later named Zhenfeng, which means "revitalizing the style of writing". In the fourth year of the Dragon (1570), Wang Equan, the magistrate of Anqing, presided over the construction of Zhenta, one of the famous ancient pagodas along the Yangtze River. It has the reputation of "not looking at the tower after Anqing". The tower and the temple were not built at the same time. The temple was built in the seventh year of Kaibao in the Northern Song Dynasty (974). Because there are nearly a thousand large and small Buddha statues in the temple, it is called Wanfo Temple. In the seventh year of Qing Shunzhi (1650), it was renamed Yingjiang Temple.
The vibrating tower is a pavilion-type masonry structure with seven-story octagonal buildings and a height of 72 meters. It is 60.86 meters high and 40 meters around the ground floor. There are stone tablets around to record the history of building the tower. The base of the tower is made of one-meter-high bluestone, surrounded by white stone railings, supported by 26 columns, and covered with an octagonal roof at the top. This cloister is wide and elegant. At the top of the attached steps, it is closed as an octagonal platform, forming a low Sumitomo, surrounded by white stone railings. There are octagonal stone fences on the second to seventh floors for tourists to visit. Every octagonal building is hung with bronze bells. The tower doors on each floor change a lot, and tourists are often fascinated and difficult to get out. There are more than 600 relief Buddha statues and 5 1 inscriptions. The door mechanism of each floor is changeable, finely carved and with different patterns.
The center of Zhenfeng Tower is an octagonal melon skin headspace hall, and the niches on each floor are symmetrical on both sides. There are one to five small niches, which are connected by seams, leading directly to the passage in the tower and the top of the empty hall, so that the Buddha lamp will not go out. There is an arch in Tarnum. Visitors can climb 168 steps to reach the top of the tower. This pagoda is made up of giant gourds. There is a stone fence outside for sanitation.
"Tower Shadow Crossing the River" is one of the "Eight Scenes of Anqing". Commonly known as "the first tower of the Yangtze River".
On May 25th, 2006, as an ancient building in Ming Dynasty, Zhenfeng Pagoda was approved by the State Council to be included in the sixth batch of national key cultural relics protection units.
