What travelers say:

Pazhou Tower is located in Pazhou Village, Xingang East Road, Guangzhou, also known as Haitang Tower, one of the eight scenic spots of Yangcheng in the Qing Dynasty, and has the reputation of "Pazhou Pillar". Pazhou Tower is an octagonal pavilion, green brick masonry, 9-level appearance, 17 floors inside, more than 50 meters high. The first floor diameter is 12.7 meters, the edge length is 4.95 meters, the wall thickness is 3.97 meters, 3 doors are opened, the north and south gates enter the first floor tower ventricle, and the original brick ladder on the west gate is the second floor (dark layer) tower ventricle. The ladder passes through the wall and winds the flat seat. From the second floor, the four-sided doors of each layer are opened like a cross alley, and the adjacent two floors are opened relatively wrongly. Other faces have no doors and are set as fake doors. Pazhou Tower was built in the Ming Dynasty in the Wanli years, is the "Big Brother" in the "Yangcheng Three Towers", it is said that there are gold foils in the nearby waters, is also known as the seagull tower. It looks like a flowing pillar, so foreign merchant ships in ancient times used it as the navigation coordinates. In the Qing Dynasty export paintings with the theme of Guangzhou, Pazhou Tower often stays in the center of the picture, which can be seen as a landmark of Guangzhou at that time, which is comparable to the current Guangzhou Tower. For more than 400 years, the sea has been vicissitudes of life, and Pazhou Tower has always stood, witnessing the prosperity of Guangzhou's foreign trade. Being in the high-rise building, hidden in the bustling lights, it is not only humble, not inconsistent, but also with the Canton Fair Pavilion ancient and modern Huiying, together become Guangzhou's open and inclusive cultural business card.
