This week’s crazy building is Tianning Temple in Changzhou, China.
At 13 stories and 505 feet in height, Tianning Temple is the tallest pagoda in the world. That feat is even more remarkable given that it’s constructed out of wood.
Though completed in 2007 for $38.5 million, the site has been the home of several other temples over the past 1,350 years.
