Nanyue Pagoda

Nanyue Pagoda

Nanyue Pagoda is a cultural tourism attraction.

Nanyue Pagoda was built in honor of the sea goddess Lin Mo. Standing 45 meters tall with eight stories, it differs from other pagodas—which typically have an odd number of levels—because local folklore holds an unwritten rule: odd numbers symbolize male deities, while even numbers represent female deities. That’s why the steps, roof tiles, and even the number of characters on couplets (upper or lower lines) in the Tin Hau Temple are all even.

From the top of the pagoda, you can overlook Nansha Port and the Humen Bridge.

Transport: Take Metro Line 4 to Huangge Station, then transfer to bus 361A or 361B and get off at Tin Hau Temple Station.

Address: Nansha Tin Hau Temple Rear Section, No. 88 Tin Hau Road, Nansha District, Guangzhou City
