Jusha Tower, originally known as ‘Jusha Hundred Blessings Pagoda’, is located in Jusha Garden on the eastern side of Meili Town and was first constructed during the Shaoxing years of the Southern Song Dynasty. The tower serves as the focal point of the entire garden and stands as a testament to the vicissitudes of Meili Town.
The overall structure of the Jusha Tower is distinctive, featuring a narrow base and a wider body, referred to in Buddhist studies as the ‘Sumeru Seat’. This architectural style is unique to this location across the country. Inside the pagoda courtyard, there are two stele pavilions. The one on the left is a stele inscription from the Song Dynasty when the pagoda was built, adorned with auspicious clouds and coiled dragons. The inscription has become difficult to discern due to the passage of time. The one on the right is a replica made in 1998 when the Jusha Tower was corrected, featuring two carved phoenixes.
The specific opening hours and business status are subject to the daily conditions of the site.
