亚洲第一高木塔烧毁，英国网友：心碎了

A huge fire yesterday reduced a 16-storey Buddhist pagoda to rubble in China.

The Lingguan Tower, billed as 'Asia's tallest wooden pagoda', burnt to the ground after being engulfed in the flames for about four hours.

The fire reportedly started from a hall underneath the pagoda and quickly spread to the wooden structure.

The fire started at around 12:40pm at the Main Hall of the Nine Dragons Monastery, which is situated in Mianzhu city, Sichuan Province, reported People's Daily Online.

The Buddhist temple is known as the Jiulong Monastery in Chinese.

High winds quickly pushed the blaze towards the pagoda as well as the Hall of Arhan near the Main Hall, said the report.

The three buildings occupied an area of more than 800 square metres (8,611 square feet).

2017年12月10日，绵竹市九龙镇九龙寺大雄宝殿突发火灾，由于现场风势较大，快速引燃毗邻的祖师殿、毗卢佛塔。此次火灾造成九龙寺大雄宝殿、祖师殿、毗卢佛塔烧毁，过火面积800余平方米，无人员伤亡。

绵竹九龙寺是一座经民宗部门批准设立的佛教宗教场所，位于绵竹市九龙镇，距市区7公里。寺庙在2008年“5·12”特大地震中全部损毁，2010年开始重建。

what was the point in even attempting to put it out, just let it burn, its made of wood so would have been destroyed no matter what they did

灭火有什么意义。就让其烧吧。本来就是木头做的，怎么救都无济于事的。
