Chaoyang North Tower (Chinese: 朝阳北塔) is located in Shuangta District, Chaoyang City, Liaoning Province, People's Republic of China, named after the tower's northernmost location among the three towers in Chaoyang City in the early years. The tower lacks explicit documentation in the historical record. During the extensive maintenance from 1984 to 1992, the archaeological team discovered the rammed earth tower foundations of the Sixteen Kingdoms period, the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Sui Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty beneath the Chaoyang North Tower during construction. The base of the tower was eventually combined with historical materials and other archaeological findings to discover that the existing tower was built in the Tang Dynasty and rebuilt in the Liao Dynasty. The tower is also known as the "Five Ages Pagoda" or "Pagoda of Five Ages with One Body" because the base of the tower beneath it spans five eras. The sōrin of the tower is a thirteen-story brick tower with dense eaves, 42.6 meters high, consisting of a pedestal, a semi-pedestal, a towed body, dense eaves, and a tower brake. There is a tower door on the south side of the tower, through which one can enter the heart of the tower. The highest point of the tower's core chamber can reach 27 meters, and there is an underground Palace directly below it and a celestial Palace directly above it in which two Shakyamuni relics were unearthed in 1988. In 1988, the Chaoyang North Tower was listed as a national key cultural relic protection unit.
