Wuying Tower

Wuying Tower is located at No. 91, Guta Road, Runan County, Zhumadian City, Henan Province, at the northwest corner of Lotus Square's west gate. It was built by the Song Dynasty monk Wuying. It is a nine-level single-eave pavilion-style brick tower with a hexagonal plan and a height of 26 meters. Inside, there is a spiral staircase. The top of the tower features a hexagonal base, above which is an iron finial in the shape of a vase, topped with a flame jewel. Because Runan is known as the center of the world, at noon during the summer solstice, the tower casts no shadow, hence it is also called the Shadowless Tower.
