Shanghai's most unique ancient pagoda, with a tilt far exceeding that of the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

When it comes to leaning towers, many people may think of the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy. However, in addition to the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy, there are actually many large and small leaning towers scattered and distributed in our country. However, compared with the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy, it lacks some popularity and popularity. Therefore, there are not many tourists who know about these leaning towers in China, and there is an ancient pagoda in Shanghai, which has a tilt far exceeding that of the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy, but it has stood for a hundred years without falling! Therefore, some people call it the most unique ancient pagoda in Shanghai. Maybe curious friends will ask, where is the most unique ancient pagoda in Shanghai? What are the unknown secrets there? With these questions and curiosity, let's talk about the things about Tianma Mountain Tower today. Shanghai Tianma Mountain Tower is also called Hu Zhubaoguang Tower. This ancient tower built in the Northern Song Dynasty once contained relics, and it was not originally tilted. Later, someone found Song Dynasty coins in the tower brick seams, and kept dismantling the bricks to find treasures. Nearly a quarter of the brick body at the bottom of the tower was dismantled, causing the tower to tilt more and more. However, the ancient pagoda is tilted but not falling, and its tilt even exceeds that of the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy. Now you can see the big hole in the northwest corner of the tower, but the wooden ladder in the tower has been destroyed by fire and cannot be climbed.
