Glazed Tile Pagoda of Guangsheng Temple I would call it the most romantic Buddhist pagoda

The Glazed Tile Pagoda is located in Guangsheng Temple, Hongtong County, Shanxi Province (the same Hongtong County mentioned in the saying "Su San left Hongtong County"). It is one of the Four Great Pagodas of China and a representative work among Chinese glazed tile pagodas. In 2018, it was certified by the World Records as the "World's Tallest Multicolored Glazed Tile Pagoda." The 1986 TV series "Journey to the West" chose this location for filming the episode "Sweeping the Pagoda to Clear Injustice." 🛕 The Feihong Pagoda is an octagonal brick pavilion-style pagoda with 13 stories, standing 47.31 meters tall. Its outline tapers layer by layer from bottom to top, resembling a cone, with smooth overall lines that give a stable and solemn feeling.
