  Located in a small county in Shanxi Province, a wooden pagoda, Sakyamuni Pagoda, could be the next item from China on the world’s cultural heritage list of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
  This 67-meter-tall pagoda is the same height as a modern 20-story building. As the oldest and the biggest wooden pagoda still standing in the world, it has witnessed historical changes and survived natural and human vicissitudes, including numerous wars, fire,and more than 10 earthquakes during its nearly 1,000-year history.
