Fangshan Haotian Pagoda
Haotian Pagoda, also known as the Tower of Many Treasures Buddha, is the most representative and largest pavilion-style pagoda in Beijing. Located on Liaoshi Hill northeast of Liangxiang in Fangshan District, Liangxiang Haotian Pagoda is said to have been built during the Sui Dynasty, though the existing structure dates back to the Liao Dynasty. It is a five-story hollow pavilion-style pagoda with a brick-and-wood structure. The pagoda stands 47.05 meters tall and has an octagonal floor plan. The Sumeru pedestal at the base is adorned with carved brick floral designs, and the niches feature standing and seated Buddha statues.
