The pagoda is about a quarter of the height of the pagoda, and consists of an iron bowl, lotus, five wheels, a treasure cover, a treasure bead, a flower receiver and a copper vase. Yang Lian was carved with characters when it was restored in the fifth year of Wanli in Ming Dynasty (1577). Aquarius is gourd-shaped, beautifully shaped, and the overall style of the tower is Ming Dynasty style except that the bottom part of the tower is close to the Song Tower.
The tower of Ciyun Temple has a light wing angle and a beautiful appearance. There are built-in stairs in the tower, which can be boarded. As one of the eight scenic spots in Wujiang, "Zhao Xi of Ciyun Temple" adds infinite interest to the beautiful legend about why the tower of Ciyun Temple is also called "Wang Fu Tower". In the southeast corner of the tower, there is a single arch stone bridge-Yuji Bridge, which was built to commemorate Dayu's flood control in Qing Dynasty. Echoing the pagoda from a distance, it forms a unique natural landscape of the "arch bridge tower shadow" in the water town.
