Huzhu Pagoda, Leaning pagoda on Tianmashan Hill, Songjiang District, China.

The octahedral tower rises seven levels high, reaching 20 meters with brick construction and an eastward tilt visible from its base to summit.

Built in 1079 during the Northern Song Dynasty, the pagoda suffered severe damage from a fire in 1788 that destroyed its wooden components and internal structure.

The pagoda served as a Buddhist relics repository within a larger religious complex, reflecting traditional Chinese architectural and spiritual practices.

Visitors can access the site by taking Metro Line 9 to Dongjing Station, followed by the Songjiang-Zhujiajiao Bus to Shenzhuan Highway Tianji Road Station.

The structure leans at 7.10 degrees, with its top displaced 2.27 meters from vertical position, surpassing the inclination of the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
