About Longhua pagoda

Longhua Tower, also known as the "Repaying Enlightenment Tower", was built in the 10th year of Wu Chiwu (247) in the Three Kingdoms. It is located at No. 2853 Longhua Road, Xuhui District, Shanghai. Longhua Tower is a brick-wood pavilion-style tower with eight sides and seven floors, with a total height of 41.03 meters (from the floor of the ground floor corridor to the top of the tower). The height difference between the floor of the bottom chamber of the Longhua Tower and the ground floor of the corridor is 0.44 meters. On each floor, there are flat seats extending out and surrounded by wooden railings, and brackets are used to project outward eaves. The eaves are very wide, and iron horses (commonly known as copper bells) are hung at the corners of the eaves.
