Jinghong - Octagonal Pavilion of Jingzhen

The Octagonal Pavilion of Jingzhen is at least 15m/49ft high and stands some 50km/31mi west of the city, 14km/9mi west of the village of Menghai on Jingzhenshan Mountain. The building, which was constructed in 1701, consists of three parts: the brick base, the middle section, also made of bricks, the walls of which are decorated with colorful glass patterns, and the conical wooden roof, which is supposed to have been adapted from a head-covering of Buddha. The architectural style evinces well-defined Buddhist influences.
