Fugong Temple Sakyamuni Pagoda is located in the Fogong Temple in the northwest of Yingxian County, Shuozhou, Shanxi Province, commonly known as Yingxian Wooden Pagoda. Yingxian Wooden Pagoda was built in the second year of Qingning in the Liao Dynasty, that is, in 1056 AD, and has been around for 950 years. It is the tallest and oldest pure wood structure pagoda in the world.

Sakya Pagoda is 67.31 meters high, with a diameter of 30.27 meters, and is a flat octagonal shape. The whole tower consumables red pine wood is 3000 cubic meters, more than 2600 tons, pure wood structure, no nails or willows.

wooden tower adopts an octagonal frame with two inner and outer joints, and the plane is divided into two parts: inner groove and outer groove. The inner groove enshrines Buddha statues, the outer groove forms a flat seat for personnel to move, and the inner groove is also connected vertically and horizontally by various woods, which forms a very rigid double-layer sleeve structure, which becomes the foundation of the solidity of the wooden tower. The connection between the upper and lower layers of
is carried out by the method of fork column building. The fork column is to insert the bottom cross opening of the upper column between the Douches on the lower column, and the upper column retreats inward by half the column diameter, thus creating the effect of inward retraction layer by layer, further increasing the stability of the wooden tower.

wooden towers use 54 different shapes of Douba. Their types are numerous, which can be regarded as the masterpiece of Douba structures of ancient Chinese architecture and can be regarded as a masterpiece in the history of world architecture. While creating a myth that the wooden tower has not fallen for nearly a thousand years, it is also a masterpiece that shows the ultimate architectural art of our predecessors.

Two Sakyamuni Buddha's tooth relics are enshrined in the pagoda. The tower contains the profound Buddhist culture . There is an 11-meter-high full body image of Sakyamuni, and a portrait of Buddhist figures is painted on the walls. In addition, there are 48 plaques and many inscriptions on the wooden pagoda, and a large number of extremely precious Buddhist scriptures have been found. Each level of the pagoda interprets different realms of Buddhism in different forms.
