The Loong Wha Pagoda in Shanghai is an example of the Chinese Buddhist Pagoda. Both Buddhism and the pagoda were introduced to China by India. Pagodas are a traditional part of Chinese architecture. They serve as protective structures for Buddhist relics, but in addition to religious purposes, they have been adored for the magnificent views they have provided since ancient times. Many famous poems in Chinese history attest to the joy of scaling pagodas.
Shanghai provides the economic heartbeat of China, and is also one of the key cultural, commercial, financial, industrial and communications centers of the nation. |
