An old man in Taicang County, Jiangsu province, has used 10000 empty medicine bottles to build a mini pagoda. Let’s go and take a close look.
The miniature Beisi Pagoda measures the height of an adult at 1.74 meters.
Han Yongzhang, a 70-year-old man in Taicang, used 1010 empty medicine bottles and more than 2000 screws to build the miniature pagoda in 20 days.
Sparkling lights were also added to the miniature pagoda to make it lifelike.
The Beisi Pagoda or North Temple Pagoda is a Chinese pagoda located at Bao'en Temple in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, China. The pagoda was once eleven stories tall, but was damaged and reduced to nine stories.
Since retiring from a local power plant, Han has taken to craftsmanship. It occurred to him to make handicrafts when he noticed that many elders throw away the empty medicine bottles.
His first masterpiece is a reproduction of the treasure boat used by Admiral Zheng He of the Ming Dynasty on his westward voyages. Han used more than 300 empty medicine bottles to make the treasure boat reproduction.
He started to make his second endeavor last June as he is keenly fond of Beisi Pagoda.
