From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Original - The Liaodi Pagoda, built in 1055 AD; at 84 m (275 ft) in height, it is China's tallest premodern pagoda.
Reason
The Liaodi Pagoda of Dingzhou, Hebei, built in 1055 AD during the Song Dynasty, is the tallest premodern Chinese pagoda. Ten centuries after its completion, it still stands at a height of 84 m (275 ft). This is an excellent picture of the pagoda, taken at a perfectly bright and sunny time of day. As far as I know it violates no FP mandatory criteria and is 2,736 × 3,648 pixels in size for those who just won't settle for smaller pictures.
