Yingxian Wooden Pagoda

 

The Yingxian Wooden Pagoda, also known as Sakyamuni Pagoda of the Fogong Temple, is located in Yingxian county of Shanxi province.

This wooden pagoda is the tallest and most ancient pagoda among the extant wooden pagodas in China. The pagoda still remains intact though it experienced earthquakes and wars many times in the past 900 years beginning with the Liao Dynasty (916-1125).
