Songyue Pagoda

The Songyue Pagoda, constructed in 523 CE, is located at the Songyue Monastery on Mount Song, in Henan province, China. Built during the Northern Wei Dynasty, this pagoda is one of the few intact sixth-century pagodas in China and is also the earliest known Chinese brick pagoda. In 2010, the Pagoda was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List along with other nearby monuments as part of the Historic Monuments of Dengfeng in "The Centre of Heaven and Earth" site.
