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

The Yinshan Pagoda Forest contains eighteen pagodas made of bricks and stones, with seven particularly notable structures in the main temple area.

During the Jin Dynasty from 1115 to 1234, five multi-eaved pagodas were constructed, followed by two additional Lama pagodas in the Yuan Dynasty.

Buddhist monks delivered sermons at the Preaching Platform, establishing Yinshan as a religious center in northern China since the Sui Dynasty.

Visitors can access the site by taking bus routes 314, 357, 376, 914, or 947 to Changping Dongguan, then connecting to a local shuttle.

The black granite cliffs of Yinshan Mountain earned the area its original name 'Iron Wall Silver Mountain' due to their dark color.
