Introduction
The Locking River Tower is located on the banks of the Yangtze River in the city of Jiujiang. When entering the waters of Jiujiang by boat, the pagoda (Wenfeng Pagoda) of the Locking River Tower will come into view, making it a symbol of Jiujiang. Originally, the Locking River Tower had one floor and one pagoda. In the 14th year of the Wanli reign of the Ming Dynasty (1586), Wu Xiu, the magistrate of Jiujiang, raised funds to build the Locking River Tower on the Longjiao Island in Jiujiang to prevent floods. It was then called the Jiangtian Locking Key Tower, with three floors. There were also four iron oxen statues next to the tower to control the water. Later, a 25.26-meter pagoda called Wenfeng Pagoda, also known as the Longjiao Pagoda, was built to the south of the tower. There are wooden stairs inside the pagoda that can be climbed spirally.
