Jingzhen Octagonal Pavilion, Buddhist pavilion in Jingzhen Village, Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture, China.

The octagonal structure rises 21 meters high with red brick walls, featuring four carved wooden doors and ten layers of fish-scale tiles on its cone-shaped roof.

Built in 1701 during Emperor Kangxi's reign, the pavilion earned national protection status in 1988 as a Major Historical and Cultural Site of China.

The pavilion serves as a meditation hall for Buddhist monks, with its design inspired by Sakyamuni Buddha's hat and incorporating Dai minority architectural elements.

Located 14 kilometers from Mengyang County, the pavilion welcomes visitors daily from 09:00 to 17:00 with an entrance fee of 10 yuan.

A 16-meter brass mast at the top contains whistle-shaped holes that create sounds when wind passes through, while mirrors and colored glass decorate the walls.
