Note:
This is a manuscript nautical chart of the Pearl River. On the left upper corner of the map, near Canton, are depicted 3 towers. The first tower -underneath the representation of the city of Canton- identified as 'Tour d'amour' is the Chigang Pagoda -赤岗塔- or Red Stone Hill Pagoda. The pagoda was built in 1619 in an octagonal shape, it stands 53.7m tall with nine exterior floor sections and 17 interior levels. The second one -to the right of Canton- is 'Tour de Wampoü' also known as Pazhou Pagoda -琶洲塔- it is however misplaced as it should be in the Pazhou Island. It was built in 1600 with nine main sections and 17 sub sections with 59m high. The last one is 'Tour du Lion', the Lotus Pagoda -莲花塔- or Wenchang Pagoda built in 1612, a 8-corner brick-build architecture, 50m high, with nine floors outside and 11 layers inside. This three pagodas built at the mouth of the Pearl River are said to bring good luck to Guangzhou and the surrounding area.
