The Beisi Pagoda

The Beisi Pagoda (Chinese: 北寺塔; pinyin: Běisì Tǎ; Wade–Giles: Peiszu T'a; Suzhou Wu: Poh zy thaeh, Wu Chinese pronunciation: [poʔ zz̩ tʰɑʔ]) or North Temple Pagoda is a Chinese pagoda located at Bao'en Temple in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, China. The base of the pagoda has an octagonal frame, and the tower rises nine stories in a total height of 76 m (249 ft). The pagoda was once eleven stories tall, but was damaged and reduced to nine stories. Its double eaves and flying corners are similar to that of the Liuhe Pagoda found in Hangzhou. Its base and outside walls are made of brick, the balustrades made of stone, and the eaves and banisters encircling the structure are made of wood.
