It is said that Gao Zong of the Southern Song Dynasty once gave Sheli to hide in this tower, so sometimes there will be treasure light, so it is called the jewelry light tower. There are many legends about the tower in the local area. To the east of the tower is an ancient ginkgo tree, the branch of the ancient ginkgo tree is in the shape of a dragon's claw, facing the tower in a position of swooping on the tower.
