The octagonal-shaped pagoda, 67.13-meter height, was built without a single nail or piece of metal some 960 years ago, during the Liao Dynasty (916-1125). It has withstood earthquakes and survived wars.

Experts have attributed the pagoda's endurance to its unique architectural design and extraordinary carpentry.

In the awarding ceremony on Tuesday, Wu Xiaohong, a Guinness World Records notary, hailed the pagoda as a classic example of ancient Chinese wooden structures, a microcosm of Chinese history and an inheritance of Chinese culture.
