North Temple Pagoda is a historic site with a history of more than 1,700 years. Standing far apart facing the Tiger Hill Pagoda, it is a famous old pagoda and an important symbol of Suzhou.

The pagoda was originally an eleven-storeyed pagoda built by Zhanghui, a monk in the Liang Dynasty. Then it was destroyed in the war and the base of the pagoda today was built by Dayuan, a monk in the Southern Song Dynasty.

The North Temple Pagoda is a nine-storey brick and wooden Buddhist pagoda with eight sides of each storey. With a height of 76 meters, it is the highest of the pagodas in Suzhou. Visitors can enjoy the city panorama while visiting the pagoda.
