Wenbi Tower

On a hill south of town, this early 19th-century structure is meant to resemble a writing brush, although to a modern traveler it may look more like a factory smokestack. You cannot drive to the tower, but there is a more or less informal trail people use to approach the tower from the southwest, starting at a roadside sign in Baishuihe Village. The tower is a solid stone structure, without any interior space or a staircase. So any views you get are those from the ground at the base of the tower (not particularly great).
