Leifeng Pagoda

Perched on the southern bank of the scenic West Lake, the 5-story, 8-sided Leifeng Pagoda stands as a testament to Hangzhou’s rich cultural heritage. Originally built in 975 AD, the pagoda offers visitors panoramic views of the lake and its surroundings. Inside, intricate statues and carvings adorn each level, inviting exploration and reflection. Today, the pagoda remains one of the city’s top attractions, and the sight of ‘Leifeng Pagoda at Sunset’ is celebrated as one of the classic Ten Scenes of West Lake, drawing both locals and tourists alike.
