Pazhou Pagoda, Buddhist pagoda in Haizhu District, Guangzhou, China.

The Pazhou Pagoda features an octagonal tower design with seventeen floors, rising 50 meters above the Pearl River's southern bank.

Built between 1597 and 1600, the pagoda served as a navigation reference point for merchant ships traveling along the Pearl River to Guangzhou port.

The pagoda stands at the former location of Haitang Temple, representing traditional Chinese architectural principles through its blue-brick masonry construction.

Located on Pazhou Island, the structure spans 111 square meters and maintains its function as a reference point for maritime navigation.

The pagoda's seventeen interior floors contrast with its exterior appearance of nine stories, creating an architectural distinction in its structural design.
