Visitors to Tianmashan Hill in Shanghai's Songjiang District are able to marvel at the Huzhu Pagoda, a thousand year old tower which leans at an angle of 7.1 degrees. By comparison, the Leaning Tower of Pisa now leans at about 4 degrees following restoration work, but even before the construction, it was only tilted at about 5.5 degrees. Built in 1079 during the Northern Song Dynasty, the 66 foot tall Huzhu Pagoda is said to tilt because it sits on two different surfaces, with one side built on bedrock and the other side built on stone ballast.
Did you know that The tower of Pisa is not the most tilted building in the world. It is in fact the German Church of Suurhusen tilted at over five Degrees.
