A tiered tower in profile.
Also known as: Pagoda map symbol
Denotes a pagoda on a Chinese topographic map, a landmark class with its own symbol.
Is a navigational landmark before it is a religious one on a Chinese sheet: a pagoda is tall, isolated and visible from a distance, which is why it is mapped in the landmark class alongside chimneys and water towers rather than with temples.
