This article introduces the architectural features, buildings, and uses of Wenfeng Tower in Fuyang, Anhui Province, China, and compares it with other types of ancient towers. The buildings are located at the junction of the upper part of the northwestern part of Fuyang and the lower part of the southeast. The stone base of the tower is made in the form of an octagon. The internal space is not very large compared to other types of towers, as there is no need to place large Buddha statues. The exterior walls are decorated with stone carvings of religious patterns. The eaves of the tower decrease as the height increases, and the appearance of the tower becomes softer. The lower floors have a larger interior space and are reduced every second floor. These towers show an inseparable connection between architecture and religion.
