Pagoda of Fogong Temple, Buddhist wooden pagoda in Ying County, China.

The Pagoda of Fogong Temple is a nine-tier octagonal wooden structure in Ying County. The form tapers upward and reaches a height of roughly 67 meters (220 feet), while the base measures around 30 meters (98 feet) in diameter.

Craftsmen of the Liao Dynasty erected the tower in 1056 as a sign of Buddhist devotion in the region. The construction survived several earthquakes and remained without major alterations for nine centuries.

The pagoda is called Muta, "Timber Pagoda", and its first-floor plaque reads "天柱地軸" (Heavenly Pillar, Earthly Axis). On clear nights the steeple aligns with the North Star when viewed from south of the temple gate. The first storey holds an 11-metre gilded seated Sakyamuni on a lotus base supported by eight guardian figures, with murals of guardians and donors on the walls.

The pagoda stands on the temple's central north–south axis, with the gate to the south and the main hall to the north. The second storey and above have floors reached by stairs in the outer ring, but the structure leans, with columns on the second storey tilted up to 11.3°, and no dismantling repair has been carried out as of 2020.

Carpenters used a system of interlocking wooden brackets known as dougong that distributes weight without a single metal nail. This technique allows the structure to move slightly during earth tremors, avoiding damage.
