It is said that the white tower on the shore of the Slender West Lake today is built by Yangzhou salt merchants for Qianlong. Jiang Chun, one of the eight salt merchants, is made with 10,000 gold and piled with salt overnight. Because the white tower is hidden between the trees, Qianlong is far away when he sees it, and he can't detect the truth. He can't help but feel: "Humane Yangzhou salt merchants are rich in the world, and it really deserves its reputation." After Qianlong left Yangzhou, Jiangchun spent heavy money to build a real white tower.
