Description

Discover the Yingxian Wooden Pagoda in Shanxi with this entry ticket. Explore the ancient temple grounds and admire the world's tallest and oldest fully wooden pagoda.
Stand before a true masterpiece of human engineering at the Sakyamuni Pagoda of Fogong Temple (Yingxian Wooden Pagoda).

Located in Yingxian County, Shuozhou City, Shanxi Province, this pagoda is a legend in the architectural world. Built in 1056 during the Liao Dynasty, it has survived nearly 1,000 years of wind, rain, and earthquakes, standing tall as a symbol of resilience and wisdom.

Admire the world’s tallest and oldest fully wooden pagoda (a Guinness World Record holder). Marvel at the ancient engineering genius that uses only wooden joints (mortise and tenon) without a single iron nail.

The entire structure contains no metal nails. It is held together by thousands of wooden components and intricate "Dou-gong" brackets. Seeing this up close is a fascinating experience for anyone interested in architecture, history, or carpentry.

The pagoda houses magnificent statues of the Buddha. As you walk around the base, you can often see flocks of swallows flying around the tower, adding to its mystical charm.

Shanxi is becoming a top destination for travelers, and ticketing systems can be difficult to navigate for non-Chinese speakers. Your pre-booked ticket guarantees your entry to the temple grounds. There is no need to queue at the ticket window—simply head to the entrance gate, scan your passport, and begin your self-guided exploration immediately.
