Tiger Hill Pagoda, Ancient pagoda on Tiger Hill, Suzhou, China.
The seven-story octagonal pagoda reaches 47 meters in height and features double walls constructed with traditional masonry techniques of the Song Dynasty period.
Construction of the pagoda started in 907 CE during the Wuyue Kingdom and took 54 years to complete, with additional stories added during the Ming Dynasty.
The pagoda stands as part of Yunyan Temple complex, established in 327 CE, representing traditional Chinese Buddhist architecture and engineering methods.
The structure remains closed to public access since 2010, but visitors can observe its architectural details and tilt from the surrounding Tiger Hill paths.
The pagoda tilts three degrees from its vertical axis due to foundation issues, with a 2.32-meter difference between its top and bottom positions.
