Here is the 'world's oldest and tallest existing wooden pagoda' - Yingxian Wooden Pagoda of Fogong Temple

Standing in Fogong Temple in the northwest of Yingxian County, Shuozhou City, Shanxi Province, it was built in the second year of Liao Qingning (1056 AD) and has stood for nearly a thousand years without collapsing. During this time, it has withstood numerous earthquakes, wars, and human destruction, making it a miracle in the history of ancient and even global architecture. The Yingxian Wooden Pagoda is 67.31 meters high, equivalent to a 22-story building. Its structure is rigorous, and its craftsmanship is exquisite, with not a single nail used in the entire pagoda! It is not only an important heritage of ancient Chinese culture but also one of the first batch of national key cultural relics protection units! If you have the chance to visit Shanxi, you must go to see the Yingxian Wooden Pagoda. You won't want to miss it!
