Haotian Pagoda
People's Republic of China
The 186th tallest tower in the world
Haotian Pagoda (pinyin: Hàotiān Tǎ) or Liangxiang Pagoda (simplified, traditional, pinyin: Liángxiāng Tǎ) is an octagonal brick pagoda situated in Haotian park in the Fangshan District of Beijing. It has 5 octahedral shaped hollow tiers and is 36m high. Originally constructed during Sui dynasty, the pagoda has been rebuilt a few times in the last few centuries. The brick tower standing today was built during the Liao dynasty (907–1125). In 1984 and 1997, the Beijing Municipal Administration of Cultural Heritage donated a total of over 16 million Chinese yuan for restoration works. As of September 2017 Haotian park is closed for renovations of the pagoda.
