Chigang Pagoda, Chinese pagoda in Haizhu District, Guangzhou, China.
The octagonal Chigang Pagoda rises 53.7 meters into the sky, featuring nine exterior floor sections and red sandstone construction throughout its structure.
Built in 1619 during the Ming Dynasty reign of Emperor Wanli, the pagoda served as a navigational marker at the mouth of the Pearl River.
Four stone giants in Western style support the base of the pagoda, representing the early exchanges between Chinese and European architectural traditions.
The pagoda stands near Canton Tower Station and Kecun Station on the Guangzhou Metro, though the structure remains closed to public access.
Together with Pazhou Pagoda and Lotus Pagoda, this structure forms a trio of towers positioned to influence the fortune of Guangzhou according to feng shui principles.
