Hi, Kim
Before i post your question to Chinese forum , i have to know what is the unique you thought about this tower , is "Inside there is one big room with a corridor all the way around it" ?

Of cause if you or Bryan volunteer I can stand on your shoulders

Here is example how they was doing , maybe the stone tablet is not high as you said .

The tablets are normally not located at the base of the wall/tower. This one seems to be some characters engraved in the stone slabs at the bottom and not an actual stone tablet.

Most of the stone tablets are located at least 2 meter up.

Should be no problem to buy in China.
