The Zhenguo and Renshou pagodas, also known as the Quanzhou Twin Pagodas, are the tallest pairs of stone pagodas in China. They were originally built in the 9th and 10th centuries as wooden structures but were later reconstructed from stone in the 13th century during the Song Dynasty. These pagodas are symbols of Quanzhou's former maritime prosperity, and unique landmarks of this UNESCO World Heritage Site.
