| Feihong (Flying Rainbow) Pagoda | |
Feihong (Flying Rainbow) Pagoda in Hongtong County, Shanxi Province, stands inside Upper Guangsheng Temple.
The pagoda is said to date back to as early as the Eastern Han Dynasty, but it has undergone repeated repairs and reconstructions. Today's pagoda, made of glazed bricks and tiles, was reconstructed in 1527 during the Ming Dynasty; the roofed corridor on the ground floor was added in 1622. The building has remained unchanged since then. |
