Shibaozhai Pagoda

Shibaozhai pagoda, which means Precious Stone Fortress, is a magnificent structure that majestically stands high above the Yangtze River and is visible from a great distance. The pagoda was built against a cragged mountain rock, so only three walls were man-made. The pagoda has round windows, which is unique for a pagoda, and creates a magical frame for the scenery below on the Yangtze River. The twelve story pagoda with its red wooden structure built entirely without nails, rises stunningly against a 100 foot high rock outcropping.
