Leifeng Pagoda

The Leifeng Pagoda, well known in China, suffered from warring and weathering. It finally collapsed due to disrepair in 1924. The provincial and municipal governments complied with the aspirations of the general public and decided to rebuild it. A new pagoda was built in 2002 on the ruins of the old pagoda. The underground chamber of the pagoda has been uncovered and the treasures are kept in great care.

The scenic area of Leifeng Pagoda located on the Sunset Hill along the south route of West Lake is harmonious with the surroundings. With an area of 120 mu, it is a representative of the new top ten views of West Lake along the south route. The rebuilding of the pagoda resumes the view of Evening Glow over Leifeng Pagoda and One Lake Mirroring Two Pagodas. Its rebuilding satisfies the desire of the local people and enhances the cultural connotation of the West Lake.
