Shanghai Songjiang Huzhu Pagoda 上海松江天马山护珠塔

            The pagoda is an octahedral tower with seven levels and a height of around 20 meters. The pagoda leaned to the southeast at an angle of 6.51 degrees in 1982 and has since then tilted even further to an angle of 7.10 degrees. The top of the tower is displaced 2.27 meters from the position it would have if the structure was aligned perfectly. 

The pagoda was built in 1079 during the Northern Song dynasty. Originally part of a building complex that was used to store Buddhist relics, 1788 a damaging fire cased by fireworks left only the tower standing. It was named a cultural relic by the Shanghai government in 1983.

护珠塔始建于北宋元丰二年（1079年），南宋绍兴二十七年（1157年）时塔内藏入宋高宗所赐舍利[a]，因而又名“护珠宝光塔”。淳佑五年（1245年）修缮。清乾隆五十三年（1788年），附近的圆智教寺在祭祀典礼上燃放烟花，导致护珠塔失火，塔上包括平座、塔檐、塔梯、塔心木等全部木质构件均被焚毁，仅余砖砌塔身。火灾之后有人挖走底层塔砖，以攫取砖缝内的钱币，多年后塔的地层一角被完全拆毁，形成一个直径达2米的大洞，同时塔基三分之一的基石也被拆毁，进而导致塔身发生倾斜。该塔故而得名“松江斜塔”。
