Zhiyun Pagoda

　　Introduction      Zhiyun Pagoda is the tallest structure on Langshan Mountain. Built during the Taiping Xingguo era of the Song Dynasty (976–984 AD), it stands 38.6 meters high and features a brick-and-wood structure with five tiers and three stories. Its red railings and yellow tiles reach proudly toward the sky.     An ancient poem praises it: “The empty pagoda touches the blue clouds, just five and a half feet from the heavens; every star above is clear and countable.”
