In Chinese, pagoda also refers to a towering tower-shaped building, a concept that is not so much related to the Oriental towers described in this entry, such as the Eiffel Tower, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the TV tower, etc. The building plan gradually evolved from the early square to hexagonal, octagonal, and even circular.
