Leifeng Pagoda is not actually called Leifeng Pagoda, its real name should be ~

The current Leifeng Pagoda is actually newly built on the original site. If you visit Leifeng Pagoda today, you can see the foundation of the original pagoda on the first and second floors. Climbing Leifeng Pagoda is not tiring at all, as long as you patiently queue up, you can take the elevator all the way. There's not much of a strategy to visiting Leifeng Pagoda; it's mainly about climbing high for a distant view, seeing the panoramic view of the West Lake, turning around to see Nanping Mountain, and observing the full view of Jingci Temple. The elevator can be quite crowded, but you can also climb floor by floor. Indeed, each floor has its own scenery, and the entire West Lake unfolds like a blooming flower, layer by layer before your eyes. Leifeng Pagoda is actually just a colloquial name. It was originally built by the King of Wuyue to commemorate his queen, and its real name should be called Queen's Pagoda. Remember, after climbing down the pagoda, turn right out of the exit and there's an exhibition hall. It houses the exquisite cultural relics excavated from the Leifeng Pagoda underground palace, which are definitely worth seeing.
