Youguo Temple, Henan
Youguo Temple  is a Buddhist monastery complex located northeast of Kaifeng, in Henan province, China. It was built during the Song dynasty (960–1279 CE). The design features the Iron Pagoda towering in the center of the complex, in a style that flourished in Chinese Buddhist temple architecture through the 11th century.  The pagoda is so-named not because it is made of iron, but because its color resembles that of iron.
