The Gusao Pagoda was built in 1131-1162 AD during the Shaoxing period of the Southern Song Dynasty, and has a history of more than 800 years. The main function of the sister-in-law tower is as a beacon. During the Southern Song Dynasty, Quanzhou Port was one of the largest trading ports in the world. Foreign trade was very prosperous, and it had business contacts with more than 70 countries and regions. In order to meet the needs of overseas traffic, it is undoubtedly of great significance to build a stone tower on Baogai Mountain in Quanzhou Port as a beacon beacon. There is an arched door on the west side of the first floor of the tower, and there are two door openings on each floor above the second floor. There are fences on the outside of the tower on each floor; there are stone steps inside the tower that lead to the top of the tower. The words "Longevity Pagoda" are engraved on the forehead of the door on the second floor. There is a square niche on the outer wall of the fifth floor, in which there are two statues of two women carved in stone. It is said that the two women are sisters-in-law.
