THE stately pagoda of Whampoa rises to an elevation of nearly 120 feet ; and, like other edifices of the kind, is constructed of brick. From its summit there is a fine view of the adjacent mountains, and the extensive and varied navigation of the Canton river; from the declivity of the hill on which the pagoda stands to the edge of the water is a flourishing rice plantation: colour print from the book ' A Picturesque Voyage to India by Way of China ' by Thomas Daniell, and William Daniell, London : Printed for Longman, Hurst, Rees, and Orme, and William Daniell by Thomas Davison,
