Beisi Pagoda, Buddhist pagoda in northern Suzhou, China.
The nine-story Beisi Pagoda reaches 76 meters in height with an octagonal base, featuring brick walls, stone balustrades, and wooden balconies on each level.
The original structure dates from the Three Kingdoms period when Sun Quan ordered its construction, while the current building was completed between 1131 and 1162.
The pagoda represents architectural techniques from the Southern Song Dynasty, combining brick, stone, and wooden elements in traditional Chinese building methods.
Visitors can climb interior staircases to reach the top levels of the pagoda between 07:45 and 17:30 daily, accessing views of both old and new Suzhou.
During renovations in 1960 and 1975, workers discovered artifacts in the metal steeple, including a copper turtle, Buddhist statues, and religious relics.
