Twenty years ago, a British architect went to Langzhong for an investigation. He spent most of his time in front of the stone pagoda and found an amazing phenomenon: the pagoda is "slanting" no matter from any angle. The unique visual effect has caused a sensation in the cultural relics and architectural circles.
