3. Tiger Hill Pagoda

The Tiger Hill Pagoda, more officially the Yunyan Pagoda also known as Huqiu Tower, is a pagoda situated on Tiger Hill in Suzhou city, east China's Jiangsu province. It is nicknamed the "Leaning Tower of China".

The pagoda has seven stories and is octagonal in cross-section, and was built with a masonry structure designed to imitate wooden-structured pagodas prevalent at the time. In more than a thousand years the pagoda has gradually slanted due to forces of nature. Now the top and bottom of the tower vary by 2.32 meters.
