Leifeng Pagoda is a must-see in Hangzhou!

✨ Have you been seeing a lot of travel videos on your feed lately? Are you feeling the urge to travel again? 🎒 Today, I want to share with you the iconic Leifeng Pagoda in Hangzhou. 🌟 📍 Address: No. 15 Nanshan Road, Xihu District, Hangzhou 🕙 Opening hours: 08:00–20:00 (as of November) 🎫 Tickets: CNY 40 (great value for money, worth a visit) 🌊 A brief history of Leifeng Pagoda 📚 ✅ It was first built in the second year of the Taiping Xingguo period of the Northern Song Dynasty (977) by Qian Hongchu, King of Wuyue, to celebrate the birth of his favorite concubine Huang's son, and was therefore also known as "Huangfei Pagoda." ✅ During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty (1522–1566), the pagoda was burned down due to suspicions of an ambush during the Japanese invasion of Hangzhou. ✅ After its collapse in 1924, it was rebuilt in 2002, retaining the style of the Song Dynasty pagoda. 🌈 Climb to the top and enjoy the beautiful view 🌳🌆 From the top of Leifeng Pagoda, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the rippling West Lake and the lush three islands in the lake. At sunset, you can also see the magnificent "Leifeng Sunset." ⛩️ The interior is more than just a legend 🐍🚶‍♀️ Leifeng Pagoda is not just the story of "The Legend of the White Snake," but also has a wealth of artifacts and beautiful murals. The Dongyang woodcarving mural "The Legend of the White Snake" is very detailed and makes you feel as if you are there. Each floor has a different theme, from poetry to murals, allowing you to feel the charm of ancient culture. 🏞️ Nearby attractions 📸 How can you visit Leifeng Pagoda without visiting the beautiful scenery around it? I recommend you to visit the "Evening Bell at Nanping Hill," one of the ten scenic spots of West Lake, and the nearby Jingci Temple. This will make your day more fulfilling! 💡 Real tips 📝 If you want to avoid the queues, you can go early. The park opens at 8 am, so take advantage of the quietness of the morning. 🌄 And don't forget to bring your camera, because every frame is a postcard-worthy view! 📷 Plan your trip now! 🔎 A legendary Leifeng Pagoda is waiting for you to explore! ❤️
