The seven story granite pagoda is actually named the Luoxing Pagoda or Tower. The photo gallery at this website has a photo on page 5 of the gallery. Northern Song Dynasty.
Luoxing Tower
This period in time (950-1100 AD approx.) is known for its Song (Sung) teabowls, with 'rabbit fur glaze.' They are prized especially in Japan.
The modern Naval Museum of China is at Mawei.
