A tower full of love story 🗼❤️

#freehotelstay Leifeng Pagoda is a 5 storey tall tower that located on the south bank of the Westlake in Hangzhou. Originally, it was built in AD 975 using brick and wood to celebrate the birth of a king’s son and once been named as Huangfei Pagoda (named after the concubine of the King). After it collapsed in the year of 1924, it was then rebuilt in a modern way where there is a elevator to go to the tower and a lift to go up to the top to ease the tourists who visit here. In fact, the tower is so famous because of a love story. A white snake turns into a young woman after thousand years of cultivating, met a young man, Xu Xian in Hangzhou and eventually fell in love with each other. A monk with magic power called Fa Hai then imprisoned the white snake under the Pagoda until she rescued by her son after many years. Visiting to the inner tower, the entrance fee is quite expensive costs at RMB 40 per person. Personally, nothing special inside the tower for me but at the top of it, you will be able to enjoy the scenic west lake view. Worth it or not, it varies for everyone but i prefer to take the picture of the tower from a far distance. Rating: 🌟🌟🌟

A trip to Hangzhou, finally understood the West Lake in Su Shi's writing

📍The most beautiful corner of Gushan Road The sunrise here in the morning makes the lake look particularly beautiful, with layers of orange shimmering on the water. Because of the morning fog, you can take these ink painting-like pictures of Leifeng Pagoda as you walk along the West Lake. 📍Suilu After shooting Quyuan Fenghe, you can go to the intersection of Beishan Street and Yanggong Causeway on the opposite side. There is a staircase that can go up the mountain to Suilu to shoot the Leifeng Pagoda at a long distance. You need a telephoto lens to shoot here. I used 70-200 to crop the picture when I came back. The camera I used was Sony r4a with over 60 million pixels, which is very useful after retouching. 📍Sudi Stele I took these pictures around 7 o'clock in the morning. There were no cars and people. These two pictures are the road in front and the road behind. I just snapped them together. 📍Quyuan Fenghe Find the round door hole 'Liaoting', a classic shooting spot. Go to the opposite side of the lake, there are red maples on the left and right of the pavilion, with the reflection of the lake, which is also very photogenic. You can see this stone bridge as you go along, and the sunrise in the morning is also very photogenic. 📍Changqiao Park There are several places where you can shoot standing on the bridge, and you can also shoot on the shore. I took pictures in several directions in the original picture, just share one, friends who go can look at more angles.

The iconic pagoda on West Lake

#bucketlistreboot Leifeng Pagoda is a five story tall tower with eight sides, located on Sunset Hill south of the West Lake in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China. Originally constructed in the year AD 975, it collapsed in 1924 but was rebuilt in 2002. Leifeng Pagoda is the oldest colorful bronze pagoda in China. Climb to to the top of the pagoda and you can enjoy the stunning view of the West Lake, especially when the sunset glows over the pagoda. It is also a good place for photography. The pagoda became a household name in Chinese culture thanks to the popular folk tale, "The Legend of the White Snake", a touching love story about a girl who changed into a snake and a young man. The story has been repeatedly adapted for traditional operas and also for modern movies and TV series.In the story, the couple are separated by an evil old monk with magical powers, who had the snake girl imprisoned under the Leifeng Pagoda for years. She is finally rescued by her son who caused the collapse of the pagoda.

Leifeng Pagoda in Hangzhou

Location: Leifeng Pagoda, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China Entrance fee: 40¥ Date: October 2, 2021 Leifeng Pagoda is a five-storey tall tower with eight sides, located on south of the West Lake. Originally constructed in the year AD 975, the pagoda was named Huang Fei Pagoda after the old king's favorite concubine, who gave him a son. It collapsed in 1924 but was rebuilt in 2002. The new pagoda opened on 25 October 2002. Since then, it has become a popular tourist attraction. At the entrance of the pagoda, there are two autonomous escalators to carry visitors to the base of the pagoda. You can also see the remnants of the old pagoda inside Leifeng pagoda. Each floor has a different view of surrounding area as well as interesting sculptures inside the building. On the highest floor, you can enjoy a stunning view of the West Lake and beautiful nature. As this pagoda is the most famous place in Hangzhou, so it’s always crowded, especially during holidays. If you want to go upstairs, you need to stay in long and crowded lines to get to the elevator or just use the stairs. Anyway I think using the stairs will be more comfortable and faster, than waiting for the elevator. #hangzhou #leifeng #westlake #nature #sightseeing #touristattraction #traveling

Free West Lake Tour: Ride a Red Bike (with Route Guide).

After visiting West Lake countless times, my friend from Hangzhou finally found the most comfortable way to visit: cycling. How can you not ride a bike when you come to Hangzhou? This way, you can avoid the crowds and enjoy the tranquil beauty of West Lake. I have developed a large and small cycling loop around West Lake, and you can choose according to your mood. This recommendation is suitable for tourists who don't mind cycling and is also great for workers to relax after work. Cycling to West Lake at sunset and night will give you a different feeling! [Large Loop] Cycling time: 1 hour Route: Huanglong Sports Center - Yang Gong Causeway - Maojiabu - Wuguitan - Huagang Park - Prince Bay Park - Leifeng Pagoda - Jingci Temple - Zhejiang Art Museum - Hubin Yintai (for food) Start from Huanglong Sports Center, ride into Yang Gong Causeway, and you don't need to worry about the route anymore. Just keep turning left counterclockwise. In less than an hour, return the bike at Hubin Yintai, have some snacks at Zhiweiguan, or something else, and go shopping for milk tea and bread before going home. [Small Loop] Cycling time: 25 minutes Route: Internet-famous Road - Xiling Seal Society - Louwailou - Zhongshan Park - Autumn Moon over the Calm Lake (return the bike) - Broken Bridge The advantage of cycling along Beishan Street is that you can ride on Gushan Road, where cars are not allowed, and you can stop and walk around at any time, saving a lot of energy. [Bike] Low-cost cycling means riding a shared bike. I highly recommend Hangzhou's city bike, the Red Bike! The only downside is that you need to return it to a designated spot, but there are many spots, so you don't have to worry about returning the bike. The first hour is free, and then it's CNY 1 per hour, with a daily cap of CNY 5. It's much better and newer than shared bikes. Just scan the QR code with your phone to use it. This activity is so simple that you only need to start and execute it to complete it. You can enjoy the high-energy happiness brought by exercise, nature, and culture along the way. Even if you get tired or are attracted by the scenery, you can stop at any time, and it's okay to give up. It's a completely stress-free way to visit. I love West Lake more because of cycling and often explore every corner of West Lake!

Hangzhou | A romantic date with paradise.

| A romantic date with paradise. 🌿The West Lake is a beauty that never ends. The lake sparkles under the sun, like a giant mirror. Walking along the lake, the breeze gently brushes your face, carrying the moist scent of the lake. The Su Causeway and Bai Causeway are like two green ribbons embedded in the West Lake. Here, whether you are admiring the simplicity of the Leifeng Pagoda or the chic of the Three Pools Mirroring the Moon, it is refreshing. At that moment, it feels like all the troubles have been thrown away, as if you are one with this natural beauty. 🛕Lingyin Temple has a quiet and solemn atmosphere. Stepping into the temple gate, the scent of incense is overwhelming. The temple building is antique, and the eaves and arches show the precipitation of history. Here, listening to the chanting, watching the devout prayers of the believers, my heart becomes extraordinarily calm. It seems to have found a pure land of the soul in this bustling world. 🏞️Jiuxi Yanshu is simply a natural oxygen bar. Walking along the stream, the sound of gurgling water is endless. The trees are shaded, and the sun shines through the gaps in the leaves, forming patches of light. The air here is exceptionally fresh, take a deep breath, full of the taste of nature. Playing by the stream, feeling the coolness of the stream, it seems to be back to the carefree childhood. 🌟Faxi Temple gave me a unique feeling. Stepping into Faxi Temple, the yellow walls and black tiles are particularly eye-catching against the green trees. The buildings in the temple are stacked, with a strong sense of hierarchy. Every detail reveals exquisiteness and simplicity. Here, people pray quietly, or pray for marriage, or pray for peace. I also made my wish with a devout heart. The shelf full of prayer cards carries countless people's expectations and hopes, giving people a strong sense of humanistic feelings. Moreover, the architectural style of Faxi Temple is very suitable for taking pictures. A casual shot is a big picture, which allows people to feel the religious atmosphere and leave beautiful visual memories. 💕The trip to Hangzhou is like a dream. It has both the gentleness of the Jiangnan water town and the heaviness of history and culture. Here, every scene can touch the soul, and every corner is full of stories. I think this is the charm of Hangzhou, which makes people don't want to leave when they come, and they still miss it after they leave.

West Lake in Hangzhou

Whether it's the scenery or the emotions, it makes me nostalgic. West Lake is vast and beautiful. If it's a sunny day in summer, I recommend starting your visit after 3 PM. When the clouds cover the sun, it's the best time for photos! You can choose to take a boat tour of West Lake or walk around it. For me, walking is quite tiring; I couldn't walk any further after covering more than half of West Lake. But by walking and stopping along the way, I could visit the Zhejiang Museum, Ge Garden, Solitary Hill, and other places, and take beautiful photos. I happened to meet the elderly man and his partner who became famous for singing Jay Chou's songs. I listened to two songs. The singing floated through the willow branches, gently touching my heart. There were also uncles and aunts dancing gracefully in the pavilion, a beautiful scene next to the Broken Bridge. West Lake vinegar fish and iron plate bass are delicious.
