Longmen Village Stone Pagoda Introduction
Shigantang Appearance: Monument-type Shigantang Inscription: Symbol Total Height: 4.34 meters Circumference: 31.2 meters Construction Form: Conical Shape Tower Top Decoration: Gourd The Longmen Hou Bay Beach, along with the East BiTou and Longgang Mountain on both sides, forms a valley where the geographical environment seems to allow waves to crash directly into the village, bringing bad energy and adverse effects to residents. Therefore, a tower was constructed to control water and mitigate negative energy. It is said that during its inauguration, live chickens were sacrificed and placed at the base of the tower. At that time, the top of the stone tower did not have any decorations and could lead directly to the base, and older villagers recall that when they were children, they would often explore the area around the stone tower, curious to see if there was indeed something inside. The eight extending feet at the base of the tower symbolize a protective presence in all directions, which is why it is also called the "Bagua Tower."
