Leifeng Pagoda at West Lake

Leifeng Pagoda is located on Sunset Hill on the south bank of the West Lake scenic area. It is China's first color copper-carved pagoda, originally built in 977 during the Northern Song Dynasty. After several reconstructions, the current structure, designed based on the original Leifeng Pagoda, was rebuilt in 2002. Leifeng Pagoda is not only one of the Ten Scenes of West Lake but also carries a rich history, cultural heritage, and touching folk tales, such as the story of the White Snake and Xu Xian from the Legend of the White Snake. First, view Leifeng Pagoda from a distance on the Su Causeway, then head to the scenic area. On weekends, while contemplating whether to take the elevator up the tower, the long queue for the elevator was enough to discourage the attempt. Climbing two observation decks via the stairs offered a bird's-eye view of West Lake and the Jingci Temple opposite (last picture). The scenery is stunning.
