Pagodas in Henan: landmarks for sight-seeing and observers of Chinese history

File photo taken on Oct. 17, 2015 shows brick carving on the Fanta Pagoda in Kaifeng, central China's Henan Province. The pagoda was built in 974 A.D. Pagodas built in ancient times in Henan act not only as landmarks for sight-seeing, but also as observers of the Chinese history. (Xinhua/Li An)
