Kaifeng Fan Pagoda, Fan Ta

The Po Pagoda erected in 977 during the Northern Song Dynasty,standing on the ancient Po Terrace in southeastern Kaifeng, is the oldest structure in the city. It was once a hexagonal nine-story,80-meter-high Buddha pagoda in the Song Dynasty. But only three stories were left by the Ming Dynesty. However,later generations reconstructed it into the present six-story pagoda with a curious and strange style in the history of buddhist architecture.
