Application in Process
Sakyamuni Pagoda, one of the oldest wooden structures in the world, is in Yingxian County in north China's Shanxi Province. The local cultural heritage authorities said they would finish the application by July for the pagoda to be included on the UNESCO list of cultural relics by 2013. Standing 67.31 meters tall, the pagoda was built in 1056 during the Liao Dynasty (916-1125). It is among the first sites to be listed as key national cultural relics in 1961 (XINHUA)
