Fangta Park, Buddhist pagoda park in Songjiang District, China

The Songjiang Square Pagoda rises 48.5 meters high within Fangta Park, featuring nine stories and a six-meter-wide base on each side.

Built between 1068 and 1077, the pagoda remains as the final structure of the former Xingshengjiao Temple and underwent restorations during Ming and Qing dynasties.

The park, established in 1980, integrates traditional Chinese garden design principles with natural elements, creating spaces for community gatherings and cultural activities.

Visitors can explore the park's winding paths, rest in scattered pavilions, and view the ancient pagoda, with bilingual signage facilitating navigation throughout the grounds.

During restoration work in 1974, workers discovered a brick vault beneath the pagoda containing monk Miaoyuan's tomb and artifacts including a bronze Buddha statue.
