The Quanzhou Twin Pagodas, known as the Zhenguo and Renshou pagodas, stand as the tallest pairs of stone pagodas in China. Originally constructed as wooden structures in the 9th and 10th centuries, these iconic landmarks were transformed into stone during the Song Dynasty in the 13th century.
These pagodas not only showcase the advanced stone architectural techniques of their time but also symbolize Quanzhou's rich maritime history. As unique landmarks within a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Quanzhou Twin Pagodas attract visitors from around the globe, eager to witness their enduring beauty and historical significance.
