Yingxian wooden tower is located in Yingxian, Shuozhou, Shanxi Province, built in Liaoqingning two years (1056 AD), is the oldest and tallest pure wooden structure pavilion building in existence, but also the treasure in ancient buildings in China, the model of the world's wooden structure building. Yingxian wooden tower is built on a four-meter-high platform base, the tower is67.31 meters high, and the bottom diameter is30.27 meters, which is in a flat octagonal shape. The height of the tower is about2.2 times the bottom diameter, and the proportion is quite thick, so that the wooden tower is high and steep without losing its weight, and the wooden tower in Yingxian will be stable in the ground."Ying County70km from downtownHighlights: The full name of Yingxian Wooden Tower is Sakyamuni Pagoda of Fogong Temple.

When I came last year, it was not officially open. Photographs have been allowed this year. The most beautiful ceiling in Jinbei 👍 Look carefully this time!"Ying County70.4km from downtownHighlights: It is located in the northeast corner of Ying County, also known as the North Temple. Founded in the second year of Jintianhui (1124). The main hall is the Daxiong Hall, which was rebuilt in the twenty-fourth year of Dading (1184).
