Lingxiao Pagoda, Buddhist pagoda in Zhengding County, China

The Lingxiao Pagoda rises 42 meters high with nine stories, featuring an octagonal frame and wooden tiers of eaves above its brick base structure.

Constructed in 1045 during the Song Dynasty, this pagoda replaced an earlier wooden structure from 860 AD and underwent renovations in subsequent Yuan, Ming, and Qing periods.

The pagoda contains a central column characteristic of Song Dynasty religious architecture, demonstrating advanced construction techniques from medieval Chinese builders.

Visitors can climb the internal wooden staircase to reach the fourth floor of the pagoda, which remains stable despite an earthquake in 1966.

The structure combines two distinct building materials, with brick construction up to the fourth floor and wooden architecture in the upper sections.
