China: Flower Pagoda (Hua Ta) at Temple of the Six Banyan Trees (Liurong Si), Guangzhou, Guangdong Province

Liurong Si (Temple of the Six Banyan Trees), was founded over 1,400 years ago. The trees that inspired the 11th-century poet and calligrapher Su Dongpo to name the temple have since died. Overlooking it all is the Hua Ta (Flower Pagoda), a slender relic of the Song dynasty, built in 1097.
