Yingxian Wooden Pagoda (Sakyamuni Pagoda of Fogong Temple)

Built in 1056 during the Liao Dynasty, it is Guinness‑certified as the world’s tallest existing all‑wood pagoda, reaching 67.31 metres high. Constructed entirely by mortise‑and‑tenon joints without any iron nails, it has survived numerous earthquakes over centuries. Though showing five‑layer eaves from outside, it actually contains nine interior storeys. Fine Liao‑Dynasty Buddhist statues, murals and ancient inscribed plaques are preserved within the temple compound. Visitors come for ancient‑architecture appreciation, wood‑structure study and relic‑culture sightseeing. Climbing up the pagoda is currently closed for heritage protection; visitors can only view the exterior and ground‑floor hall.
