Yinshan Pagoda Forest, Buddhist pagoda complex in Changping District, China.

The Yinshan Pagoda Forest holds eighteen brick and stone pagodas. Five Jin-dynasty multi-eaved tomb pagodas stand in a quincunx on the Fahua Temple site, centred on the 20.1-metre Fojue Pagoda, with Yixing, Huitang, Yuantong and Xujing around it. A Yuan multi-eaved pagoda and a bell-shaped multi-eaved pagoda lie nearby, and eleven Yuan-Ming bell-shaped pagodas are scattered on the slopes.

The complex developed across multiple dynasties, with major construction taking place during the Jin Dynasty period. Subsequent additions during the Yuan Dynasty demonstrate the site's continuing religious importance over centuries.

The name Yinshan, "Silver Mountain", comes from ice and snow that whiten the slopes, while the black cliffs below gave the pairing "Iron Wall, Silver Mountain". Ming-era lists counted it among the Eight Scenes of Yanping. A local saying held that the pagodas, like the lions of Lugou Bridge, could not be counted.

The site is best accessed by public transportation, with several bus routes serving nearby stops. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes and allow time to leisurely explore the entire grounds at their own pace.
