E. China City to Build Country's Tallest Pagoda
Changzhou City, located in east China's Jiangsu Province, has announced plans to build a 153.79-meter pagoda in the Tianning (Heavenly Peace) Temple.

It will be the tallest pagoda in the country.

Tianning Temple, a local Buddhist temple, originally built during the Zhengguan and Yonghui periods (627-655) of the Tang Dynasty (618-907), is known as the "No.1 temple in southeast China".

The pagoda project, with an estimated cost of 150 million yuan (about US$18 million) is scheduled to be completed in 2004.
