VIRGINIA VISIONS — The Marine Observation Tower also known as the Taiwanese Pagoda is the centerpiece of the tranquil garden.
The tower was a 1989 gift to the Commonwealth of Virginia and the City of Norfolk honoring Taiwan’s trading ties with Virginia.
The two-story pagoda, with Chinese architectural details and ornamentation, sits on the concrete foundation of an old molasses tank.
