Updated: 2007-07-26 14:03

Guilong Tower is located on the bank of Zuojiang River in Chongzuo County, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. It is also called the "Zuojiang Leaning Tower". The 25-meter high hexangular tower was built with blue bricks and is five stories. The top and bottom vary by one meter. Experts say the craftsmen deliberately tilted the tower to the left in consideration of the wind from the river and its geological position in the area. That's why the tower still stands perfect after hundreds of years.
