The 5 Story Chinese Pagoda (2 photos)
this remarkable structure is dedicated to the 5-Wisdom Buddha. Originally built in the 1600's, it was reconstructed in the early 1800's incorporating an anti-earthquake technique by which the central pillar floats above the ground. Animal sculptures on the lower levels indicate the zodiac signs.
