The original pagoda was built as an entrance to the Chinese Exhibition in Hyde Park. After the exhibition it was brought to Victoria Park. Sadly it fell into disrepair and so was demolished in the 1950's. The new pagoda was built in 2012 on the same spot.

In the southwest corner of Vicky Park you'll find the lovely West Lake and its three islands. Here, you can enjoy the fountains, geese, ducks, swans and the Chinese Pagoda that stands proud on one of the islands and is accessible via a footbridge. Towards the Pavilion Cafe, the lake is home to two interesting sculptures by Erno Bartha entitled 'Bird' and 'Skyscraper'.
