Very little in known about this manuscript nautical chart of the Pearl River made on the 18th century by an unknown author. It is a chart from the [Portefeuille 179 du Service hydrographique de la Marine consacré à la Chine] of the 'Service hydrographique de la Marine' belonging to the Bibliothèque Nationale de France. On the left upper corner of the map, near Canton, is depicted a building named only 'Temple' which refers to the Hoi Tong Temple -海幢寺-, a buddhist temple from the 10th century. To its left there are 3 numbered towers. The first tower identified as 'Tour de Lion' is the Lotus Pagoda -莲花塔- or Wenchang Pagoda built in 1612, a 8-corner brick-build architecture, 50m high, with 9 floors outside and 11 layers inside. The second one is Pazhou Pagoda -琶洲塔- also known as the Whampoa Pagoda, built in 1600 is an octagonal tower with 9 main sections and 17 sub sections with 59m high. The third and last one is the Chigang Pagoda -赤岗塔- or Red Stone Hill Pagoda.

This three pagodas built at the mouth of the Pearl River are said to bring good luck to Guangzhou and the surrounding area.
