Wanbu Huayanjing Pagoda
People's Republic of China
The 186th tallest tower in the world
Wanbu Huayanjing Pagoda (pinyin: Wànbù Huáyánjīng Tǎ), commonly referred to as Baita or White Pagoda (pinyin: Bái Tǎ) is a large pagoda located in Saihan District, Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, China. Built during the Liao dynasty, the tower is octagonal in shape and contains 7 floors, and was an important feature of the city of Fengzhou. In the late Yuan dynasty the city was destroyed and the tower was badly damaged, though it has since been repaired to its original state. In 1982, it was listed as a protected cultural site at the national level, the highest level of protection awarded to important historic and cultural sites in China.
