OutstandingThe last stop of my Hangzhou trip, I climbed up to gaze out over the Qiantang River once again. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't good, and it was a bit foggy. The park itself was beautiful, with its historical stories. After descending the tower, the sun peeked out, illuminating my joyful mood.
Liuhe Pagoda attraction highlights
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Liuhe Pagoda is located on Yuelun Hill along the Qiantang River, adjacent to the Qiantang River Bridge. Liuhe Pagoda has been well-loved by literati since ancient times, serving as a place to read poetry and view the river; it has been repaired and altered during different dynasties. Inside the pagoda are engravings of flowers, birds, beasts, and immortals. From of the tower you can see that the rolling Qiantang River is all within view, as well as the city scenery that is on both sides of the river. The river wind blows through the iron bell and causes it to ring, a reminder of the ancient times.

Liuhe Pagoda Photos: Trip Moments
Hangzhou | Avoid the crowds and come see this stunning maple forest!Location 👉🏻 Liuhe Park I originally just planned to pass through, but I didn’t expect it to be so beautiful! And there was basically no one there! Entering from the northeast corner of the park feels like stepping into a secret forest. Your view extends along the winding stone path to a breathtaking maple tree, perfect for both portraits and landscape photography. PS: For shooting, it’s recommended to go after 2 PM. The afternoon sun shines from the west, perfectly illuminating the maple leaves. You can shoot backlit portraits with the maple leaves behind or take front-lit environmental portraits on the stone path. Photos 3, 5, and 6 are HDR. If the photos appear gray, it means your device does not yet support HDR photo display.Collins_Anastasia_8

A Magical Trip to Hangzhou#springitinerary I actually took a day off just to visit Hangzhou and stumbled into this massive green energy haven. Imagine rain tapping softly, bells ringing gently, and the rustle of leaves in the breeze — pure calm. After a thunderstorm, sunlight streamed through the window, casting a warm glow on ancient stone bricks that are over a thousand years old. It was so peaceful and tender, like everything around me was quietly healing. About Liuhe Pagoda: Built over a thousand years ago in the Northern Song dynasty, it’s been rebuilt several times. The current structure mostly dates from the Qing dynasty, but the core bricks are still from the Song era. The pagoda has eight sides and thirteen levels of wooden eaves, with 104 iron bells hanging from the corners that chime with the wind. Inside, it’s seven levels of brick and stone, each with calligraphy plaques from Emperor Qianlong. Highlight: Though the pagoda has 9 levels total, the best views — and where most photos are taken — are from the 2nd floor. The lush greenery outside those windows is incredibly soothing. This trip was totally worth the day off — nature, history, and a quiet soul recharge all in one spot. 🍃🛎️🌤️ #thingstodoChenJunLe
5 Perfect Spots to Capture West Lake's Romantic Sunset in 30 MinutesAt 5pm, Jixian Pavilion overlooks the lake surface glittering like scattered gold. Squeezing through the crowd with my phone, I watch the sunset paint Leifeng Pagoda in honey colors. In the ripples left by passing boats, I see the scene from Bai Juyi's poem - "half the river shimmering, half the river red." Photography enthusiasts set up their tripods, waiting for that perfect moment when the last ray of light kisses the pagoda's peak. Spot 1: Golden Hour at Changqiao Park Golden willows sway by Changqiao Bridge, where newlyweds take wedding photos on the lawn, their backlit hair gleaming. Through telephoto lenses aimed at Leifeng Pagoda, the entire structure transforms into glowing amber when the setting sun aligns perfectly with its top. Ladies in Hanfu crossing the stone bridge have their flowing garments gilded by the warm light. Spot 2: The Living Scroll of Beishan Street Phoenix trees on Beishan Street filter orange light spots, as traffic flows through the light and shadows. On the stone steps of Xiaxia Pavilion, couples embrace while gazing toward Broken Bridge, as Baochu Pagoda stands gracefully in the twilight. Suddenly, a white egret glides across the lake, its wings touched by the lingering warmth of sunset. Spot 3: God's Eye View from Baoshi Mountain Climbing the stone steps to Hama Peak, the panorama of West Lake suddenly unfolds before you. The lake surface resembles crumpled silk, with boats floating like gold leaf. The purple-brown rocks of Baoshi Mountain turn honey-colored, while Baochu Pagoda casts its diagonal shadow across Bai Causeway. Spot 4: Cinematic Benches on Gushan Road The phoenix tree-lined avenue of Gushan is stretched long by the setting sun, where elderly couples sit on benches peeling oranges that glisten in the light. Through telephoto lenses at low angles, sunlight breaks into spots between trees, while Bai Causeway in the distance looks like a glowing silk ribbon. Spot 5: Orange Sea at Liuhe Pagoda The reed marshes of Liuhe Cultural Park shimmer golden, while puddles on the mudflats mirror the orange-red sky. Girls in white dresses run across the wooden boardwalk, casting long shadows in the sunset. Across the water, Qiantang River Bridge becomes golden harp strings, with trains slowly passing by. As dusk falls on West Lake, lights begin to twinkle, while my phone gallery fills with shots of "egg yolk suns" and clouds. West Lake's twilight truly hides in every fold of the remaining light. Tomorrow brings another sunset, and I'll always look forward to our next encounter.Ethan Mitchell~82
Train to Autumn | Hangzhou Immortal Group Photo Spot GuideThe sunset glow bathes the Qiantang River in warm gold, with the Qiantang River Bridge spanning north to south. The green train rushes by carrying the autumn atmosphere, the wheels softly ringing mixed with the river breeze. In the distance, the Liuhe Pagoda rests quietly among the autumn woods, its flying eaves soaked in soft light, the shimmering river surface breaking up the horizon and the pagoda’s reflection. This train to autumn carries travelers and a season full of romance, capturing an immortal group photo moment where the bridge, train, river, and pagoda perfectly blend into Hangzhou’s autumn. 【Shooting Guide】The most classic shot at this spot is to capture the train in the frame at sunset, which requires a lot of patience. I have personally tested it more than 5 times. The train schedule around sunset is as follows: 4:15 PM 4:20 PM 4:35 PM (green train, highly recommended) 4:45 PM 5:20 PM The most noteworthy is the green train around 4:35 PM, which is exactly at sunset, traveling from Liuhe Pagoda towards Wentao Road. 【Equipment】A long telephoto lens is needed here, at least 400-600mm focal length. I used a Tamron 150-500mm lens. A tripod is also essential. 【Shooting Date】November 27 【Shooting Location】Wentao Road Yiqiao Park 【Route Guide】Take Metro Line 4 or drive; there is good parking near the destination.Charlotte Rodriguez 123.
Liuhe Pagoda - A Quiet Sentinel Through the AgesIn Hangzhou, there's a place where natural beauty and cultural heritage intertwine—the Liuhe Pagoda. Standing on the banks of the Qiantang River, it has weathered a thousand years of storms, witnessed countless sunrises and sunsets, and carries the historical memories of this city. The journey to Liuhe Pagoda is filled with anticipation. If you choose public transportation, you can take bus routes 314, 4, 4 Express, 318, 318B, Digital Tourism Bus Line 2, or Digital Tourism Bus Line 4, and get off at Liuhe Pagoda Station to encounter this marvel. Alternatively, you can take bus routes 500, 7280, or 8202 to Zhijiang Road Liuhe Pagoda Station for easy access. If driving, head west from Xiaoshan East or National Highway 104, turn south after crossing the bridge, and navigate to Hangzhou Liuhe Pagoda. The scenery along the way serves as a prelude, gradually unveiling this wonderful journey. Upon entering the Liuhe Pagoda scenic area, you're immediately enveloped by an ancient atmosphere. This structure, originally built in the third year of the Kaibao period during the Northern Song Dynasty, was constructed by King Qian Hongchu of Wuyue to suppress the river tides, embodying the wisdom and wishes of the ancients. The existing Liuhe Pagoda features a wooden tower structure with a brick body in pavilion style. The tower stands 59.89 meters tall and appears to have thirteen stories from the outside, with numerous small windows on each level and 104 iron bells hanging from the upturned eaves. When the wind blows, the bells chime with a crisp, pleasant sound. However, the pagoda actually has only seven floors inside, with its unique "seven visible, six hidden" structure seemingly concealing secrets of time. Ascending the spiral staircase, you can feel the weight of history with each step. From the top of the tower, looking out over the railing, the magnificent Qiantang River spreads before your eyes. The surging waters flow ceaselessly, boats come and go on the river, and in the distance, the Qiantang River Bridge spans both banks, connecting past and present, busyness and tranquility. The majestic scene makes one marvel at nature's masterful craftsmanship and humanity's great creativity, while troubles gradually dissipate amid this spectacular view. From March to mid-April, Liuhe Pagoda welcomes a romantic floral event—the peony exhibition. During this time, the pagoda transforms into an exquisite painting. Liuhe Cultural Park is known as the "Jiangnan Peony Garden," housing over 230 varieties of peonies across 4,000 square meters. When the peonies bloom—red like fire, pink like rosy clouds, white like snow—they appear even more enchanting against the backdrop of Liuhe Pagoda. The elegance of the peonies complements the pagoda's ancient charm, the softness of the flowers blends with the tower's strength. Walking among the flowers, with the fragrance of peonies lingering and the ancient pagoda in sight, it feels like traveling through time back to a prosperous era. Here, time seems to slow down, and every moment is filled with poetry. On the way down the mountain, the bells of Liuhe Pagoda ring out softly. These bell sounds, echoing from a thousand years ago, carry historical vicissitudes and the sediment of time. Each toll is steady and powerful, piercing the night sky, reaching people's ears, and resonating in their hearts. In these bell sounds, one feels inner peace and tranquility, as if all fatigue and chaos are cleansed away, leaving only purity and serenity deep within. Liuhe Pagoda is not merely a building but an emotional anchor and cultural heritage. Here, you can watch the surging river tides, admire blooming peonies, listen to melodious bells, and let your soul find healing in this tranquil yet magnificent setting, creating warm and beautiful memories. Tip: The Liuhe Pagoda scenic area requires an entrance ticket, and there's an additional fee to climb the tower.GangesGhatExplorer

A Poetic Journey Through History and NatureQiantang River Bridge, known as the "Strong Bridge" designed under the leadership of Mr. Mao Yisheng, is an excellent landmark where Hangzhou's history and modernity blend. Below is an in-depth City Walk guide combined with 10 photos to help you unlock the historical charm and natural beauty by the riverside. 1. Route Planning: From Historical Landmarks to Riverside Secrets Start: Qiantang River Bridge Memorial Hall → Qiantang River Bridge (walk across the bridge) → Liuhe Pagoda Cultural Park → Zhijiang Road Riverside Greenway → Return: Overlook the full view of the river and bridge from Liuhe Pagoda 2. Detailed Attractions: Understand every scene through the pictures 1. Qiantang River Bridge: The Hardcore Romance of Industrial Heritage Highlights: The steel truss structure in photo 1 and the "Qiantang River Bridge Story" inscription in photo 6 tell its legend. This bridge is China’s first self-designed double-deck railway and highway bridge, which was "self-destroyed" and reborn during the War of Resistance. Experience: Walk on the highway deck, touch the rivets and steel beams, and imagine the busy days when trains and cars ran side by side; you can also take industrial-style photos near the railway under the bridge (safety first) to feel the weight of history. 2. Liuhe Pagoda: A Millennium Dialogue Between Ancient Tower and River Bridge Highlights: Photos 2 and 8 show Liuhe Pagoda, a classic example of ancient towers in Jiangnan. Photo 7 frames the Qiantang River Bridge and modern buildings through the pagoda window, and photo 9’s plaques inside the pagoda (such as “Seven Treasures Splendor” and “Five Clouds Supporting the Canopy”) showcase the beauty of calligraphy and religious culture. Experience: Climb the pagoda! Each floor offers a different view. From the upper levels, you can take in the Qiantang River, the bridge, and Zhijiang New Town all at once, as if stepping through a frame bridging past and present (like the “window frame river bridge” perspective in photo 7, perfect for photos). 3. Zhijiang Road Riverside Greenway: Slow Enjoyment of Nature and Culture Highlights: The forest trail in photo 3 and the cyclist in photo 4 show the vitality of the greenway. Photo 5’s Qiantang River shipping and modern bridge clusters symbolize the river view and urban development. Experience: Walk or cycle along the greenway. In spring, enjoy the river breeze brushing the willows; in autumn, admire the flying reed flowers. On sunny days, take a refreshing bike ride on the same cycling path as in photo 4, or stroll through the woods like in photo 3, listening to birds and insects, letting your body and mind slow down. 3. Travel Tips Best Time: Spring and autumn (March-April, October-November). The river view is most photogenic on clear days, and the vegetation around Liuhe Pagoda is richly layered. Transportation: Take Metro Line 4 to "Shuicheng Bridge Station," then a 10-minute walk to Qiantang River Bridge; for driving, park at Liuhe Pagoda parking lot (public transport recommended during peak seasons). Hidden Experience: If time allows, picnic at the "Liuhe Listening to Waves" park beside Liuhe Pagoda, where the sound of the Qiantang River tides blends with the traffic noise on the bridge, creating a unique "ancient and modern symphony" exclusive to Hangzhou. From the steel bones of Qiantang River Bridge, to the flying eaves of Liuhe Pagoda, and the river breeze and greenery of Zhijiang Road, this City Walk route is a two-way journey between history and nature. Every step unlocks Hangzhou’s depth and vitality.JetsettingGlobetrotter.

12.1 Real Shots!! Hupao has become legendary—Hangzhou’s autumn is truly authoritative!Hangzhou Hupao Park (Hupao Dream Spring) travel guide, focusing on practical routes and photo spots, so you won’t miss the park’s “double wonders” — the world-famous spring and stunning scenery. 🏞️ Park Overview and Highlights The core highlights of Hupao Park mainly lie in the “famous spring, famous figures, and nature” aspects. · Core Highlight: Hupao Spring, known as the “Third Best Spring Under Heaven,” is famous for its sweet and clear water and high surface tension, allowing you to experience the wonder of “coins floating on water.” This is the source of the “Longjing tea and Hupao water,” a famous pair of West Lake wonders. · Cultural Heritage: Deeply connected with two legendary figures, Ji Gong (Daoji Chan Master) and Master Hongyi (Li Shutong), with Ji Gong Pagoda Courtyard and Li Shutong Memorial Hall respectively. · Natural Scenery: The park itself is a tranquil forest garden with different scenery in each season, especially famous for its autumn and winter maple leaves (late November to December), making it a favorite spot for photographers. 📸 Efficient Touring and Photo Route Here is a suggested route connecting the core attractions and best photo spots, taking about 2-3 hours on foot. 1. Main Entrance & Greenery of Hupao Path · Highlights: After entering the main gate, you’ll find the classic Hupao Path. Tall dawn redwood trees form a cool green tunnel, with sunlight filtering through creating dappled shadows—an ideal starting point for forest atmosphere photos. 2. Core Attractions Check-in Walk along the main road and you will pass: · Dream Tiger Sculpture: The origin of the park’s theme, a quick must-see. · Ji Gong Hall & Ji Gong Pagoda Courtyard: Learn about Ji Gong’s connection to this place where he passed away. · Hupao Spring Eye & Water Testing: The most important spot. You can see locals lining up to collect water at the spring eye, and there is a “Water Testing Platform” nearby where you must try floating a coin on the spring water yourself. · Li Shutong Memorial Hall: Discover the legendary life of Master Hongyi at his place of ordination, with a calm atmosphere. 3. Prime Photo Spots (Autumn and Winter Maple Season) If visiting during autumn or winter, these spots are key for capturing red maples combined with traditional Chinese gardens. Use doors, windows, and eaves to frame your shots: · Yudai Pond & “A Section of Autumn” Archway: Surrounded by maple trees by the pond, shooting outward through the round arch with the “A Section of Autumn” inscription and red maples together is a signature “Chinese romantic” scene. · Xiecui Pavilion “Chinese Frame Scene”: A classic popular window photo spot, with picturesque maple views outside. Horizontal composition is recommended. · Hupao Dream Spring Monument Pavilion: Next to the pavilion is a large tree called the “King of Red Maples,” with umbrella-like branches. Shooting from a low angle looking up makes for great photos. · Cuiyue Hall/Yicui Pavilion: Tall maple trees stand in front of the hall; you can shoot from the adjacent corridor or through the windows. · Bell Tower: Classic combination of white walls and red maples, with simple composition. 🎨 Photo and Experience Upgrade Tips · Best Time to Shoot: Early morning or weekdays are recommended to avoid water collection peaks and crowds. Sunny days offer clear light, but rainy days also provide a quiet, mysterious green atmosphere. · Outfit Suggestions: For portrait photos, especially during maple season, wear solid colors like white, beige, or light gray, or new Chinese-style clothing to stand out against the rich background. · Must-try Experience: In the park’s tea room, brew a cup of Longjing tea with authentic Hupao spring water to personally experience the “West Lake double wonders.” You can also bring your own cup and fill some spring water for free at designated points. 📌 Practical Information at a Glance · Opening Hours: Year-round, 7:00 AM to 5:30 PM. · Admission: 15 RMB per person, tickets available on-site. · Transportation: Public transit is most convenient. Take bus routes 4, 87, 180, 194, 318, etc., and get off at the “Hupao” stop. Driving is not recommended on holidays due to limited parking. · Duration: For a detailed, slow-paced visit, allow 2-3 hours; for just the main spots, about 1.5 hours. 💎 Itinerary and Nearby Attractions Suggestions · Half-day Tour: Hupao Park is great to combine with nearby attractions. Recommended route: visit Hupao Park in the morning → visit Hangzhou Zoo next door in the afternoon, or head to nearby Manjuelong (for osmanthus viewing) or Liuhe Pagoda for panoramic views. · Friendly Tips: Water collection is a local specialty; if there’s a queue, please wait patiently and use a small container for a quick experience. The park has many stone steps, so wear comfortable shoes.Benjamin Carter59
Liuhe PagodaLocation: Liuhe Pagoda Cultural Park Cost: Park card ¥30 (includes free access to all parks within a year), separate ticket required to climb the pagoda ¥10 The evening scenery is really great, but the premise is that the weather is good, you must go when the weather is good. The main activity is climbing the pagoda to enjoy the view, and it's also great for taking photos, hehe. There are a total of 7 floors, and it should take about 40 minutes to climb up, take photos, and enjoy the scenery. The best part is that there aren't too many people, so the experience will be very good.ARIANA ORTEGA
You don't need to climb mountains to see the Qiantang River in Hangzhou at a glanceIn Hangzhou, without the trouble of climbing mountains, there is a 13-story pagoda by the Qiantang River, where you can overlook the Qiantang River from the top floor, and even the Qiantang River Bridge is in full view, because it's quite niche, many locals haven't climbed it either, take the chance now that the tower is open, and go check it out on a weekend✌🏻 - 📖Travel Guide 📍Address: Liuhe Pagoda Cultural Park, Xihu District, Hangzhou ⏱️Opening Hours: 7:00-16:55 🎫Ticket: Main gate ticket 20💰, tower climbing 10💰 (Hangzhou park annual pass can waive the main gate ticket) 🕰️Duration of visit: 1-2 hours 🅿️Parking: Navigate directly to the destination, there is a parking lot at the entrance. 🚌Public Transport: Take the subway line 4 to 'Shuichengqiao' station and then walk or take the bus, navigate to 'Zhijiang Road Liuhe Pagoda' or 'Liuhe Pagoda' station. - 📖Tips: 1. Liuhe Pagoda has a history of about 1000 years, the interior walls have been repaired many times, if you look carefully you can see the traces of multiple layers of repairs, the stairs inside the pagoda are uneven in height and size, be careful when going up and down the stairs, and keep to the right. 2. It is not recommended for friends with mobility issues to visit, because the interior stairs and steps are quite old, the handrails on the side are also very small, and it is not particularly convenient to go up and down the stairs, especially not elderly-friendly. 3. Although Liuhe Pagoda appears to be 13 stories from the outside, there are actually only 7 floors open to the public, with 6 floors being secret chambers, generally not open to the public, built alternately with light and dark... 4. You can also take a look at the ruins of Kaihua Temple built in the same period, although only some bricks from that time have been excavated. 5. Liuhe Pagoda has a significant status in architectural history, interested friends may want to learn about it before visiting. 6. Nearby there is also the Wushan Ming Art Museum which you can visit together, about 50 meters away from Liuhe Pagoda. 7. Be careful not to carry drones! Do not carry flammable items upstairs, there will be a security check on the first floor of Liuhe Pagoda.M1r@g3_Wh1rlw1nd

The last stop of my Hangzhou trip, I climbed up to gaze out over the Qiantang River once again. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't good, and it was a bit foggy. The park itself was beautiful, with its historical stories. After descending the tower, the sun peeked out, illuminating my joyful mood.
This tower boasts a long-standing reputation. Climb the tower to view the Qiantang River and the Qiantang River Bridge, integrating the text into your travel experience. Its twin towers rival the Yingxian Wooden Pagoda in stature. Hangzhou's weather can be quite hot, so arriving early during the summer months is recommended. After the climb, explore nearby attractions like the Tiger Run. Highly recommended.
You can't miss the Liuhe Pagoda when you come to Hangzhou! The ticket is 20 yuan, and it costs another 10 yuan to climb the pagoda. As soon as you enter the park, the ancient and majestic Liuhe Pagoda comes into view, and next to it is the surging Qiantang River, which makes the atmosphere very comfortable. The stairs in the pagoda are quite steep, so you have to be careful when climbing, but the scenery on each floor is different, and the higher you go, the wider the view. At the top of the pagoda, you can see the river view, the bridge, and the city scenery. When the wind blows, the iron bells on the eaves jingle, which is so comfortable!
Liuhe Pagoda, standing on Yuelun Mountain by the Qiantang River, is an ancient building with a thousand-year history. The tower is nearly 60 meters high, with eight sides and thirteen floors on the outside and seven floors inside. The brick and stone structure and the wooden pavilion-style eaves complement each other, showing a unique architectural beauty. The 104 iron bells hanging on the eaves sway in the wind, making a crisp and pleasant sound, as if whispering a thousand-year story. Climbing the tower and looking far away, the Qiantang River Bridge and the scenery on both sides of the river are in full view, which is refreshing. The exquisite stone carvings, murals and paintings in the tower are even more amazing. Liuhe Pagoda is not only a scenic spot, but also a living history and cultural textbook, which allows people to feel the weight of history and the charm of culture while enjoying the beautiful scenery. Whether for ancient architecture enthusiasts or ordinary tourists, Liuhe Pagoda is a place that cannot be missed.
Hangzhou Liuhe Pagoda: Located on Yuelun Mountain by the Qiantang River on Zhijiang Road, Xihu District, Hangzhou, it was first built in the third year of Kaibao in the Northern Song Dynasty by Qian Hongchu, the King of Wuyue, to control the tide. The pagoda has been damaged and rebuilt many times in history. The existing pagoda was rebuilt in the Qing Dynasty. It is a pavilion-style brick and wooden pagoda with exquisite architecture. It is a national key cultural relic protection unit and the best tidal viewing spot in the Qiantang River.
Liuhe Pagoda has been a favorite place for scholars to watch the river and recite poems since ancient times. It has been repaired in different dynasties. There are also carvings of flowers, birds, beasts and flying fairies inside the pagoda. It is also the best place to watch the tide of Qiantang River. It has become a must-go place for many people to watch the tide every year. The current Liuhe Pagoda was rebuilt in the Southern Song Dynasty. Liuhe Pagoda is also known as Liuhe Pagoda, which means "the four directions of heaven and earth".
I visited Liuhe Pagoda on the weekend. This is a place I have always longed for. I finally got to see it. I drove from the city along Yanggong Dike and Hupao Road. The scenery was beautiful all the way. You can park in the scenic spot parking lot, 20 yuan per hour, and the tower includes the park ticket 30 yuan. It is recommended to climb the tower to see far. The tower has 13 floors on the outside and 7 floors on the inside. The stairs in the tower are steep, so you must be careful. The tower has various exquisite murals and brick carvings, and the artistic value is extremely high. You can see the scenery from every side window on each floor. Below is the Qiantang River Bridge. To the west, you can see the Zhijiang Bridge as far as possible. The scenery is really good. Blowing the autumn wind and looking at the river view, I really have a feeling of "the clouds are rising in my chest, and the birds are returning to my eyes". I feel that it is an excellent observation point to see the Qianjiang tide on August 15. When I went up and down the tower, I saw a couple. The young man carried the little girl upstairs. Such a steep staircase really made me sweat for them. I really admire the young man's spirit. Is this the power of love? After coming down from the tower, you can go to the stele pavilion to admire the imperial calligraphy of Emperor Qianlong, read the introduction of the past and present of Liuhe Pagoda, and listen to the sound of Liuhe bells...
Liuhe Pagoda is a scenic spot I really want to visit during this trip to Hangzhou. I imagine that I can climb up and overlook the tide of Qiantang River. The scenic area is not big, and there were not many tourists due to the typhoon that day, but there was still a limit on the number of people climbing to the fifth floor of the tower, so if you travel on holidays, you may not be able to climb to the top of the tower. But above the third floor, the pictures taken at each window are still very good. You can see the Qiantang River and the railway bridge, and the view is very open.
