It is absolutely a top-notch luxurious glazed tower, unparalleled in the world.

Shaanxi Province is truly filled with national treasures, with top-notch cultural relics and historical sites everywhere. There is a Feihong Pagoda in Guangsheng Temple, which is now a national key cultural relic protection unit. The entire pagoda is made of glazed tiles, magnificent and very exquisite. It can be called the first glazed pagoda in China and unparalleled in the world. [Cute] Feihong Tower is a pavilion-style tower, a glazed tower, octagonal in shape, with thirteen floors. The tower is 47.31 meters high and is made entirely of bricks, with a cross-shaped hip roof. The outline of the pagoda shrinks layer by layer from bottom to top, shaped like a cone. The glazed veneer on the entire tower reflects the Shanxi folk's superb glazed firing skills and wisdom, and is a representative work among China's glazed towers. Feihong Pagoda is the filming location for the scene where Tang Monk sweeps the pagoda in the 1986 CCTV version of Journey to the West, where the monk sweeps the pagoda and argues about the injustice. [TeaDrinker] The exterior of the Feihong Tower above the second floor is inlaid with colorful glazed carvings in blue, green, yellow, white and black. Each floor has glazed eaves, with glazed imitation wooden brackets and lotus petals interlaced between the layers. From the third to the tenth floors, each side is built with Buddhist niches, doorways and beams, with statues of Buddha, Bodhisattva and children inside. The sides of the doorways are inlaid with glazed coiled dragons, precious beads and other decorations. [Coke] Place: Located in Guangsheng Temple, 17 kilometers north of Hongdong County, Shanxi Province. Opening hours: 8:00~18:00 (peak season); 8:00~17:30 (off-season). Ticket prices: 55 yuan/person (Guangsheng Temple scenic area pass).
