The Loong Wha Pagoda in Shanghai is tall enough to provide a spectacular view when scaled
The Loong Wha Pagoda in Shanghai is an example of the Chinese Buddhist Pagoda. Both Buddhism and the pagoda were introduced to China from India, thanks in part to travelers and Chinese pilgrims who went to India to learn about Buddhism. Pagodas are a traditional part of Chinese architecture. They serve as protective structures for Buddhist relics, and are adored for the magnificent views they have provided since ancient times. Many famous poems in Chinese history attest to the joy of scaling pagodas.
