The Chongfu Tower in Shangyu County was built in 800 AD.

The established dynasty cannot be verified, and the existing records were reconstructed in Chongzhen period of Ming Dynasty.

Ming Jiajing's "Shangcheng County Records" contains: "The old name of Chongfu Temple is Longquan Temple, which has been abandoned for a long time, and the temple base and pagoda still exist. In the sixteenth year of Chenghua (1480), it was built in the early Ming Dynasty and renamed Chongfu Temple. " Chang Ji, the post-monk official, is equal to "Chongzhen has been (1629) Monk" and "Dujia built the ancient pagoda of Chongfu Temple", and carved stones on the east and outer walls of the tower's first floor to show his ambition.

Chongfu Tower is a seven-level pavilion-style brick tower with an equilateral hexagon and a height of about 22.3 meters. It consists of three parts: Xumi Mountain Tower, Tower Body and Tower Brake. Sumitomo is made of red granite, and the lower owl is engraved with laurel horn and treasure elephant Fulian; Flowers such as broken peony are carved on all sides of the waist; Owls are carved with precious faces and lotus flowers, as well as various animals, such as dragons, horses, fish, pines, bamboos, plums and deer, which are vivid and vivid. The tower body is laid with blue bricks lying horizontally and staggered joints, and the height of each floor decreases from bottom to top and converges evenly, showing a tall and beautiful outline. Divided into seven layers by waist and eaves. Brick arches are built under each eaves to support the tower eaves; On the eaves of each floor, carved iron pillars are placed and wind chimes are hung; There is a gourd-shaped iron gate on the top of the hexagonal tower.

There are still different opinions about the reasons and process of the construction of Chongfu Tower, because its construction date has been lost. Qing Jiaqing's "County Records of Shangcheng" once recorded a story of the establishment of Chongfu Pagoda in Tianshou (the year number of Wu Zetian) in the Tang Dynasty: According to legend, in the early Tang Dynasty, Wu Zetian had a beautiful scenery on the Longquan Lake in the shopping mall and made a wish to build a temple and tower to show her gratitude. After Wu Zhao proclaimed himself emperor, he remembered the wish made by Longquan Lake. So he built a spring temple and tower in a hurry and finished it within a time limit. When the temple tower can be capped with three more floors, with the increase of the height of the temple tower, it is more and more difficult to build the construction frame. For several days, construction was forced to stop. At this time, there was urgent information from Beijing that Wu Zetian would open the Chongfu Building on time. After recruiting talents from the local old population, find ways to "borrow soil to surround the tower". The county magistrate summoned thousands of migrant workers overnight, took soil from all directions day and night and buried it in a four-story tower. Then everyone carried the brick tower away from the mound. After the five-story building was completed, everyone buried the soil in the fifth and sixth floors. In this way, build a layer, bury a layer, and build a layer. Soon, the seven-story brick tower was completed as scheduled.
