Liuhe Pagoda

Location: Liuhe Pagoda, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China Entrance fee: 30¥ Date: October 2, 2021 Liuhe pagoda is one of the most important places at the West lake. It is an amazing place surrounded with nature and Qiantang river. It's a 7-storey pagoda and it's absolutely empty inside. Each floor of the pagoda consists of four elements: the exterior walls, a zigzagged corridor, the interior walls and a small chamber. Even though it’s a little difficult and tiring to go up those narrow stairs, but if you love nature, then you definitely need to go there. Every floor features a viewpoint, where you can enjoy the incredible scenery of nature and river. You can admire the view with 360 degrees. The architecture and surrounding area are really impressive. #hangzhou #liuhe #pagoda #river #nature #naturelover #sightseeing #travel

Six Harmonies Pagoda has 13 stories, standing an impressive 60 meters (197 feet) tall, with beautiful paintings and patterns on the walls of each story. Standing beside Qiantang River, it was built to suppress the evil which was thought to cause the river’s tidal bore — the world’s largest tidal wave. #urbanexplorer #themeparks#nationalpark#lakes#beaches#infinitypool

In 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.

Location: 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.

|The golden light through the hole was captured, it's indeed a royal garden|||. West Lake is very large, and you need to relax and not get too tired in a day. The scenery should be unique and not repetitive. Today, I will simply share yesterday's walking route, mainly focusing on the south line of West Lake🚶Other places will be visited next time along a different route, it's a trip with the elders! Everyone, save it‼️West Lake is really breathtakingly beautiful‼️ 📍🚶Route: Liuhe Tower——Hupao Road (Hupao Park depending on physical strength)——Manjuelong (lunch)——Taiziwan Park——Fish Viewing at the Flower Pond——Sudi——Jingci Temple ❓Which is better, Liuhe Tower or Leifeng Tower 1⃣️One is by West Lake and the other is on Zhijiang Road. Liuhe Tower has fewer people, a wider view, and you can see the Qiantang River Bridge. Its historical and cultural heritage is not inferior to Leifeng Tower. Leifeng Tower has many people and is more famous. 2⃣️I personally suggest that you can climb to the top of Liuhe Tower, and then see the full view of Leifeng Tower at Jingci Temple. The view of Leifeng Tower from the main hall is very beautiful. ✅Liuhe Tower: 📍Liuhe Tower Cultural Park, Bus stop: Liuhe Tower 🎫You can enter with a park card or a 20 yuan ticket, and you need to pay an additional 10 yuan to climb to the top. ✅Hupao Road: There are many buses here, and all the routes are scenic spots. There are Hupao Park and Zoo along Hupao Road. ✅Manjuelong: Bus stop: Siyanjing. The food and tea here are really great. My parents strolled around the village and they couldn't stop praising it. After eating, you can have some tea and bask in the sun. ✅Taiziwan Park: Just walk over and you'll arrive. The lawn is currently being repaired, but the maple leaves and reflections on the water are still beautiful. ✅Fish Viewing at the Flower Pond: It's next to Taiziwan Park. For details, see the guide on my homepage. I didn't expect that the Fish Viewing at the Flower Pond in this season is really beautiful to tears. You can start taking pictures of the beautiful scenery of the golden light coming out of the hole around 4 pm. ‼️Golden light coming out of the hole, popular photo spot: Closest to the south gate, go in and it's near Sudi. ✅Jingci Temple: Exit from the east gate of Fish Viewing at the Flower Pond and you'll be at Sudi, then walk to Jingci Temple. The entrance fee is 10 yuan, and you can enter for free with a temple card. The main hall is currently being repaired, but it doesn't affect worship. Climb to the highest level of the main hall, take a photo from the side of the Bodhisattva, and you can capture the popular photo spot of Leifeng Tower, which is stunning again! 🚌Transportation: It is not recommended to drive, especially on weekends. Parking is expensive, there are many cars and traffic jams, so public transportation or cycling is the best. 👉Dining: You can eat at Manjuelong on this route, and you can also have tea. It's really comfortable, and the boss lady is beautiful and kind.
