Ying Wang Tower is a hexagon Confucian temple built during the Qing Dynasty that played a pivotal role in the establishment of Buddhism in the area. The 20-m-tall brick temple is located in Yacheng Town near Yazhou Ancient City about 40 km west of Sanya City. Jianzhen, an eminent monk in the Tang Dynasty, and his disciples left a large number of Buddhist writings in Yazhou that were later kept in the temple.
