Guinness World Records awards record certificate for towering wooden pagoda in China

Guinness World Records officially announced the incredible Sakyamuni Pagoda of Fogong Temple in the Yingxian County of Shanxi, China as the world’s Tallest wooden pagoda yesterday.


The striking piece of architecture was built back in 1056 and has a remarkable height of 67.31 metres (220 ft 10 in).


The fact that the 960-year-old pagoda has managed to survive so much and for so long has led people to consider it an architectural miracle.
This record is not only the miniature of Chinese history and wisdom, but also the heritage of Chinese culture and spirit. Our team finished the adjudication works during the past few months and we are very happy to verify the Sakyamuni Pagoda of Fogong Temple as the tallest wooden pagoda”.
