Reason
The
Liaodi Pagoda of Dingzhou, Hebei, built in 1055 AD during the
Song Dynasty, is the tallest premodern
Chinese pagoda. Ten centuries after its completion, it still stands at a height of 84 m (275 ft). This is an excellent picture of the pagoda, taken at a perfectly bright and sunny time of day. As far as I know it violates no FP mandatory criteria and is 2,736 × 3,648 pixels in size for those who just won't settle for smaller pictures.
