The Great Pagoda of Liao Zhongdu, commonly known as Daming Pagoda, is the largest of the three surviving pagodas from the Liao dynasty's Middle Capital (Zhongdu), located in present-day Ningcheng County, Chifeng, Inner Mongolia. Standing at 80.22 meters (263.2 ft), it ranks as the second-tallest surviving ancient pagoda in China, surpassed only by the Northern Song-era Kaiyuan Temple Pagoda in Dingzhou, Hebei, which stands approximately four meters taller.
