Pagoda of Buddhist Ashes
Given the number of pagodas that freckle Shenyang's landscape this is the best of the lot in terms of architectural accomplishment. Built in 1044 AD, during the height of the Liao dynasty, it ladders 13 stories tall (50 meters) displaying the classic pyramidal design that pagodas are recognized for. Inside houses a display of original artifacts including a recently found gold-plated, copper Buddha figure. A major restoration took place a few years back making the pagoda very tourist friendly. Admission: CNY4.
