The Historical Evolution of the Leaning Tower of Chongzuo Guilong

Aotou Mountain is located at a sharp turn on the left bank. The swift river came rushing in and rolled away. The waves are rough and the vortex turns over, which often engulfs passing ships. There is a saying that "ten boats turn over, nine boats turn over". The common people thought there was a devil in the river, so they built a tower to curb it.

Tomorrow, in the first year (162 1), Li Youmei, the magistrate of Taiping, will build the third floor of this tower. In the thirty-fifth year of Kangxi in Qing Dynasty (1697), Xu Yue, the magistrate, continued to build two floors and became a five-storey tower that has been preserved to this day. 1990 The leaning tower of Zuojiang Gui Long was developed as a tourist attraction and opened to the outside world.
