Longhua Pagoda, Ancient Buddhist pagoda in Xuhui District, China
The seven-story wooden and brick pagoda reaches a height of forty-four meters, featuring balconies and banisters that encircle each level of the structure.
Originally constructed in 977 during the Northern Song Dynasty, the pagoda remains one of the oldest surviving religious structures in southern China.
The pagoda holds precious Sharira relics and incorporates traditional Chinese architectural elements through its extended eaves supported by intricate wooden brackets.
Visitors can reach the pagoda by taking Metro Line 11 or Line 12 to Longhua Station and following Longhua Road within the temple complex.
The structure contains a hollow, tube-like core with wooden staircases, and each of its octagonal levels includes four doorways and four rectangular shrines.
