From the outside, the nearly 60-meter-high ancient tower has 13 floors, but in fact there are only seven floors inside the tower. The "seven bright and six dark" structure is very unique.
You can climb inside the Liuhe Pagoda. The stairs become narrower as you go up. You can walk out on each floor to view the scenery and see the distance from different heights.
Climbing to the top floor of the tower, you can see the rolling Qiantang River right in front of you. The Qiantang River Bridge spans across the two banks, and you can see the buildings and greenery on both sides of the river.
Liuhe Pagoda has been a favorite place for scholars and poets to watch the river and recite poems since ancient times. Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty visited here and inscribed a plaque on each floor.

Listening to the waves at Liuhe, the second of the ten scenic spots of West Lake in the third review. Liuhe Pagoda is located in the south of West Lake, on Yuelun Peak by the Qiantang River. In the third year of Kaibao in the Northern Song Dynasty (970 AD), Hangzhou was the capital of Wuyue Kingdom. In order to calm the tide of Qiantang River, the King of Wuyue sent the monk Zhiyuan to build Liuhe Pagoda. The current Liuhe Pagoda was rebuilt in the Southern Song Dynasty. It was named Liuhe Pagoda after the meaning of "Six Harmonies and Respects" in Buddhism; it is also called Liuhe Pagoda, which means "the four directions of heaven and earth". Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty once wrote inscriptions on each floor of Liuhe Pagoda, which are: the first ground is firm, the two truths are integrated, the three bright and pure domains, the four heavenly treasures, the five clouds cover, the six turtles are loaded, and the seven treasures are solemn.
1. Address: The Buddhist Branch of Hangzhou Library is located at No. 317 Tianzhu Road, West Lake Scenic Area, adjacent to the Tianzhu Three Temples, Lingyin Temple and other Buddhist holy places. (About 100 meters away from the "Shangtianzhu Faxi Lecture Temple", opposite the Juxi Building)
2. Introduction to the Buddhist Library: Currently, the Buddhist Library has a collection of nearly 10,000 books, including Buddhist classics, academic collections, as well as books on Buddhist art, Zen tea, vegetarianism and other Buddhist culture, which can meet the needs of different readers for books and materials related to Buddhist culture.
3. Opening hours: Tuesday to Sunday 9:00--17:30 (closed on Monday) (During the epidemic: Tuesday to Sunday 9:00-17:00)
This tower is really big. No wonder the emperor could be imprisoned in it. It can accommodate a whole company or even a battalion!
First, we paid tribute to our predecessor Mr. Mao Yisheng by the Qiantang River Bridge. Then we visited Liuhe Pagoda, where we could see the scenery of Qiantang River from the bottom of the pagoda.
I haven't been there, but I just saw it from a distance on the Qiantang River. Next time I go to Hangzhou, I must go and see it.
A real ancient building with hundreds of years of history. You can also climb to the top. It feels like you can walk in the footsteps of the ancients. It's very good. Climbing the tower is quite tiring. You can see the Qiantang River and the Qiantang River Bridge from the tower. Very good!
Climb to the top of the tower and you can see the rolling Qiantang River right in front of you.
As one of the ten scenic spots of West Lake, Liuhe Pagoda was decided to visit. By the way, you can also see the Qiantang River Bridge from it, the scenery is still very good.
Liuhe Tingtao is one of the ten scenic spots of West Lake. It is located in the south of West Lake, on Yuelun Peak beside Qiantang River. It is named Liuhe Pagoda after the Buddhist meaning of "Six Harmonies and Respects"; it is also called Liuhe Pagoda, which means "the four directions of heaven and earth".
A pagoda by the Qiantang River in Hangzhou. One of my favorite local chronicles. It was built by people in the Song Dynasty to control the tide of the Qiantang River. I came here because of the influence of Water Margin. It is the place where Master Lu passed away and where Wu Song became a monk, although it is not in real history. You must climb the tower to take a look. It feels very high to look at the Qiantang River from above.
Liuhe Pagoda is the only paid attraction we visited in Hangzhou, with a ticket price of 20 RMB and a 10 RMB entrance fee. The view from the pagoda is really great~ Liuhe Pagoda Park is quite small. I personally think that if you are not going to see the Qiantang River and do not have enough time for the trip, you can give up this attraction.
There are many miniature replicas of famous towers on Liuhe Pagoda Hill, but the mosquitoes are too fierce and we can't stay there for long. There are many Lycoris radiata on the roadside, which seem to be wild and very interesting.
There is a plaque on each floor of the Liuhe Pagoda, starting with "Chu" on the first floor and going up to "Qi" on the seventh floor. One can overlook the Qiantang River and the Bridge from the top of the tower.
Very good, the antiquities are well preserved and worth a visit.
The tower was built in the third year of Kaibao in the Northern Song Dynasty (970 AD) by Qian Hongchu, the King of Wuyue, to suppress the tide in Jiang. The meaning of "Six Harmonies" comes from the "Six Harmonies and Respects" in the Buddhist "Original Karma Garland Sutra": "Living together in harmony, speaking without quarreling, thinking together in joy, practicing together in harmony, understanding together in harmony, and sharing benefits together in harmony". The tower is nearly 60 meters high, with 13 floors from the outside and only 7 floors inside. Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty once visited here and inscribed a plaque according to the floors, which read: The First Ground is Firm, the Two Truths are Integrated, the Three Bright Pure Lands, the Four Heavenly Treasures, the Five Clouds Cover, the Six Turtles Load, and the Seven Treasures are Majestic.
The ticket is 30 yuan. The view from the top of the tower is nice and the wind is strong. However, the stairs are inclined and it is tiring to climb.
Liuhe Pagoda is in Liuhe Park. The park ticket is 20 yuan, and it costs another 20 yuan to climb the tower. You can see the Qiantang River and the bridge from the top of the tower, which is a bit like the Yellow Crane Tower in Wuhan overlooking the Yangtze River and the bridge. The park scenery is okay.
From the Zhijiang Campus of Zhejiang University, walk along the mountain road for about 10 minutes to the Liuhe Pagoda. Now it is a park and you need to buy a ticket to enter. It costs 20 yuan to enter the park and 10 yuan to climb the tower. The tower has seven floors and the stairs are very steep.
It doesn't seem to be a popular tourist attraction, but it is a good place to climb up and see the view, and there are many foreign tourists.
Liuhe Pagoda completely exceeded my expectations. First of all, the ticket price is reasonable. Although it is just a tower, you can see far from a high place. But think about its history and how much effort the ancients put into building this tower. It was more difficult than building the Oriental Pearl Tower. Secondly, the simplicity of the tower. This is the tower in ancient times in my mind. Because once you enter, it feels so similar to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in Westward Journey and the Thousand Buddha Pagoda in The Legend of Sword and Fairy IV! Especially the way to climb the tower layer by layer!
Not to mention the scenery, the magnificent Qiantang River is in full view, and the wind blowing on the tower is very comfortable. Liuhe Pagoda has a total of 11 floors, and the highest floor is the seventh floor. You can go to the first to seventh floors, which is great, and different floors have different perspectives. But there is no need to go to the seventh floor. In fact, the scenery and angle of the sixth floor are not much different, but there is no one at all. People are wandering around the seventh floor, not staying on the sixth floor. So this time I occupied the first floor alone.
There are stories about Liuhe Pagoda and Hupao. Interested friends can check it online. At present, the trees in Liuhe Pagoda Park have grown up. Tourists who want to fully appreciate Qiantang River need to spend an extra 10 yuan to go up the tower. The tower has 13 floors and it must be quite tiring to climb up.
See the travel notes "Remembering Hangzhou - Beauty in the South of the Yangtze River" http://www.mafengwo.cn/i/6744236.html
There were a lot fewer people, probably because it was almost time to get off work. We were the last to arrive and couldn't get in after 5:30. Tickets are required to visit and climb the tower.
The stairs inside the tower are really steep. It is not easy to go up or down the tower, so you must pay attention to safety.
I went there alone during the Spring Festival in 2014.
From Zhijiang Campus, it is about one bus stop away to Liuhe Pagoda, or you can go there by bike. Liuhe Pagoda was first built in the Song Dynasty and rebuilt in the Southern Song Dynasty, which means "the four directions of heaven and earth". The ticket is 20 yuan, and the entrance fee is 10 yuan.
If the weather is good, you can go to the nearby Baita Park, which has many memories of old Hangzhou!
Liuhe Pagoda gives people a sense of simplicity and elegance, and has a much more historical sense than Leifeng Pagoda. Looking at the Qiantang River, it is extremely vast and spectacular. Liuhe Pagoda actually has 13 floors, seven bright and six dark. You cannot go up to the even-numbered floors. Each floor you climb is actually equivalent to the height of two floors. On each floor hangs a plaque with a four-character idiom that is said to be written by Emperor Kangxi starting with one to seven.
The purpose of building towers along the Qiantang River is obvious. It was obviously built to control floods in ancient times. The legend behind it is no different from that of other places. The Qiantang River tide is turbulent because of sea monsters causing trouble, so Liuhe was built to suppress it.
During the Double Festival, you can climb the Liuhe Pagoda to watch the Qiantang River tide. It is indeed vast and spectacular. Liuhe Pagoda actually has 13 floors, seven bright and six dark. You cannot go up to the even-numbered floors. Each floor you climb is equivalent to the height of two floors. On each floor hangs a plaque with a four-character idiom that is said to be written by Emperor Kangxi starting with one to seven.
Qiantang River tide surges, Liuhe listens to the waves
In Hangzhou, the capital of Wuyue during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, the Qiantang River's natural wonder, the Qiantang River Tidal Bore, was magnificent. King Qian Hongchu of Wuyue, following the advice of two eminent monks, Yanshou and Zanning, built a pagoda here to control the tide and prevent it from becoming a problem forever.
The original Liuhe Pagoda had nine floors and was more than 50 meters high. A pagoda courtyard was also built, which was initially named Shouning Courtyard. During the Taiping Xingguo period, Emperor Taizong of Song Dynasty bestowed the name Kaihua Temple on it. Now only the ruins remain. Over the past thousand years, the pagoda has been repeatedly damaged by wars.
The Liuhe Pagoda that tourists see today is a restored model based on the first year of Longxing, and its complete preservation is due to the repairs of successive dynasties. The pagoda is octagonal, seven-story, 58.98 meters high, and there is a stepping path inside to climb up.
There are more than 200 brick carvings on the Sumeru pedestal, with rich themes and vivid shapes. Pomegranates, lotus flowers, and treasures compete with each other for beauty, phoenixes, peacocks, and parrots spread their wings and fly high, lions and unicorns gallop and leap, flying fairies dance with their heads held high, and so on.
The couplet on the temple reads: "The lamp transmits wisdom and samadhi, and the drum responds to the huge waves in August." The couplet on the pagoda reads: "The sound of the tide plays the Mahayana Dharma, and the shadow of the pagoda is always hanging without a fixed body." Whenever there is a high tide in autumn or a full moon on Mid-Autumn Festival, "the sound of a hundred thousand soldiers in the middle of the night" is enough to listen to the waves in Liuhe.
The Liuhe Pagoda that we see now was renovated and completed in December 1991. Liuhe Pagoda is a famous tidal bore. "The tide on August 18 is the most spectacular in the world." Climbing the pagoda, you can see the wide Qiantang River from afar, with busy passenger and cargo ships sailing. The riverside area in the distance is prosperous.
You can enter the Liuhe Pagoda. Although there are only 7 floors inside the tower, the actual number of floors is equivalent to more than ten floors of an ordinary building. The higher you go, the steeper the floor becomes. The view from the tower overlooking the Qiantang River is great. There are also many imitations of towers from all over the country in Liuhe Pagoda Park, which can be regarded as a tower museum.
You can also watch the Qiantang River tide at Liuhe Pagoda, but it is really not interesting to watch the tide in Hangzhou city. Liuhe Pagoda itself is a real ancient pagoda and more interesting than Lei Feng Pagoda.
Liuhe Pagoda has an ancient exterior and a very quaint interior. Most importantly, it is the best place to view the Qiantang River Bridge. Climbing to the top of the tower is especially suitable for taking photos.
There are many famous towers from all over the country that are replicated in the same proportion in the scenic area. After being exposed to wind, rain and sun, they actually have a sense of vicissitudes and simplicity. Climb to the top of Liuhe Tower and overlook the Qiantang River and the Binjiang District on the opposite bank. It is said that many people watch the Qiantang tide on this section of the river every year. There is an additional ticket to climb the tower, and it is worth it to overlook the Qiantang River. The stairs on the upper floors are narrow, so be careful and safe. You can also visit the nearby replicas of the tower forests from various places, which are relatively quiet. There are relatively few tourists
You can see the Qiantang River from the tower. The scenery is OK. There are not many people. The stone steps in the tower were built later.
Liuhe Pagoda is located in the south of West Lake in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, on Yuelun Mountain beside Qiantang River. It is one of the best-preserved ancient brick-and-wood structure pagodas in China.
Listening to the waves at Liuhe, the second of the ten scenic spots of West Lake in three reviews. Liuhe Pagoda is located in the south of West Lake, on Yuelun Peak by the Qiantang River. In the third year of Kaibao in the Northern Song Dynasty (970 AD), Hangzhou was the capital of Wuyue Kingdom. In order to calm the tide of Qiantang River, the King of Wuyue sent the monk Zhiyuan to build Liuhe Pagoda. The current Liuhe Pagoda was rebuilt in the Southern Song Dynasty. It was named Liuhe Pagoda after the Buddhist meaning of "Six Harmonies and Respects"; it is also called Liuhe Pagoda, which means "the four directions of heaven and earth". Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty once wrote inscriptions on each floor of Liuhe Pagoda, which are: the first ground is firm, the two truths are integrated, the three bright and pure domains, the four heavenly treasures, the five clouds cover, the six turtles are loaded, and the seven treasures are solemn.
It should have been rebuilt in modern times. Except for the archway and a few murals inside, which are old, everything else should be from later times. It still has the grandeur, and the scenery above is also pretty good, overlooking the Qiantang River.
It is very simple and quaint, and feels much better than Leifeng Pagoda. Wu Song and Lu Zhishen make this a place with stories. In April, the peony exhibition, the flowers are in full bloom, and the beauty is beyond words.
There is a road next to it, so you can only hear the sound of cars. But the view of Qiantang River from the tower is still spectacular.
The original pagoda courtyard of Liuhe Pagoda was Kaihua Temple, where a couplet reads: "The lamp transmits wisdom and samadhi, and the drum responds to the sound of the tide in August." Liuhe Pagoda is located in the south of West Lake, on Yuelun Mountain by the Qiantang River. In the third year of Kaibao in the Northern Song Dynasty (970 AD), Hangzhou was the capital of Wuyue Kingdom. In order to control the tide of Qiantang River, the King of Wuyue sent the monk Zhiyuan to build Liuhe Pagoda. The current Liuhe Pagoda was rebuilt in the Southern Song Dynasty. It was named Liuhe Pagoda after the meaning of "Six Harmonies" in Buddhism. Liuhe Pagoda is also known as Liuhe Pagoda, which means "the four directions of heaven and earth."
The current Liuhe Pagoda was built in the Southern Song Dynasty and is one of the best-preserved brick-and-wood ancient pagodas in China. The interior of the Liuhe Pagoda has seven floors, and the stairs are very steep. In some places, you have to use your hands and feet to climb up, and the steps are very narrow, which wore out my new shoes.
Liuhe Pagoda is next to Qiantang River Bridge, and you can overlook the Qiantang River from the tower. My mother climbed the tower once, and when she saw it again, she was amazed at the changes in the surrounding environment. Unfortunately, it rained too hard, and there were puddles everywhere. There were no tourists in the park, so we stayed outside for a while and then left.
It's a happy life with rain, thunder and waves
Liuhe Pagoda is one of the best-preserved ancient brick-and-wood structure pagodas in China. From the top of Liuhe Pagoda you can see the Qiantang River Bridge.
You can get here by bus from Longjing Village through Jiuxi Shibajian. Liuhe Pagoda is 13 stories high. If the weather is good, you can see better scenery when you climb up.
The electronic ticket for the scenic spot is 17 yuan (ordinary ticket is 20 yuan). The ticket for climbing the tower is 10 yuan. We climbed up the Liuhe Tower and overlooked the Qiantang River. The view was very broad. There is a bridge on the river. It was the Qiantang River Bridge built by Mao Yisheng, a bridge expert.
There is a small courtyard next to the tower. It is very quiet, with no noisy tourists and occasional bird calls. There are tables and chairs in the courtyard and the side room, which is a teahouse. The main room is an exhibition room. It is dedicated to introducing the types and development history of my country's towers.
Liuhe Pagoda is one of the best-preserved ancient brick-and-wood structure pagodas in existence in China. It was built in the third year of Kaibao in the Northern Song Dynasty (970 AD). The tower is nearly 60 meters high and has 13 floors from the outside, but there are actually only 7 floors inside.
On the bank of Qiantang River, there is no Lei Feng Tower after Liuhe Pagoda, you need a ticket, you can climb to the top of the tower to overlook the whole Qiantang River
The lake and the sea are full of heroic spirit, and the pass is now a beautiful scenery. Cut the candle and watch the Wu Gou. Standing on the Liuhe Pagoda, looking at the magnificent waves of Qiantang, the strong wind blows from Yuelun Mountain, and the mind is suddenly clear.
Liuhe Pagoda was first built in the third year of Kaibao in the Northern Song Dynasty (970 AD). It was built by monk Zhiyuan to suppress the tide in Jiangnan. He named it Liuhe Pagoda after the Buddhist meaning of "six harmonies and respects". 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". In the 1990s, the "China Ancient Pagoda Expo Park" was newly built near Liuhe Pagoda, which miniatures famous pagodas from all over China and showcases the achievements of ancient Chinese architectural culture.
I passed by here on the way to Zhejiang University, so I went up and took a walk~ Liuhe Pagoda is still under renovation
I personally think the scenic spot is average, the ticket price is 30 yuan per ticket. It is two stops away from Jiuxi Yanshu.
I have been here several times. It has beautiful scenery and rich historical and cultural allusions.
If you like architecture, you may want to take a look. The steps inside the tower are steep and high, and it is very tiring to climb. It is recommended to bring a tour guide or make a guide in advance. The brackets and brick carvings are quite distinctive. I don’t know if there are murals or other things on the tower body. Due to technical reasons, it cannot be preserved, so it was sealed up, so now the walls look very new and have been renovated.
The stairs inside the tower are extremely steep, so be careful when climbing the tower. The scenery on the tower is theoretically good, but in the morning, Hangzhou was covered with a layer of mist, and the Qiantang River was covered with white. The so-called Liuhe Listening to the Waves, now only the sound of cars can be heard.
The tower is very big, cost-effective, very ancient, recommended
The three towers of Hangzhou, Baochu is like a beauty, Leifeng is like an old monk, and Liuhe is like a general.
If you want to climb the tower, go directly to the seventh floor, or the second or third floor. The stairs on the first floor are very high, so it will be difficult for children to walk. Be careful. The cultural park is quite large, so you can just wander around.
I like the Zhijiang Road below, it's very beautiful. It's probably like the feeling of wind curtains and green curtains.
Drinking on the lake after it was sunny and then rainy, the poet can always use sweet words to express the scenery you can feel and the artistic conception you cannot feel.
Liuhe Pagoda is close to Qiantang River Bridge, and you can overlook the Qiantang River from the tower. This tower was built by a monk in the Northern Song Dynasty to control the tide of Qiantang River. From the outside, the nearly 60-meter-high ancient tower has 13 floors, each with many small windows, and 104 iron bells are hung on the eaves. But in fact, there are only seven floors inside the tower, and the "seven bright and six dark" structure is very unique.
It was named Liuhe Pagoda after the Buddhist concept of "Six Harmonies". Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty wrote inscriptions on each floor of the Liuhe Pagoda, which are: The first level is firm, the two truths are integrated, the three bright pure realms, the four heavenly treasures, the five clouds cover, the six turtles carry, and the seven treasures are solemn.
One of the ten scenic spots of West Lake, ticket price is 20 yuan. Famous attractions include Liuhe Pagoda and Qiantang River Bridge
It is a good place to watch the Qiantang River tide. It is actually a very ordinary tower, but friends who like this period of history can still go and see it. It is the place where Lu Zhishen passed away and Wu Song became a monk. The tower has seven floors and is quite steep.
Listening to the Waves at Liuhe is one of the ten scenic spots of West Lake. Climbing the Liuhe Pagoda not only allows you to see the scenery of Qiantang River from a high place, but also allows you to review the anecdotes and stories related to the legend of Liuhe Pagoda. The Liuhe Pagoda scenic area has the historical and cultural tradition of "Liuhe stories": Wu Song's becoming a monk, Lu Zhishen's death, Liuhe spring pool, Liuhe bell sound, King Qian shooting the tide and Liuhe stele pavilion. The transportation here is very convenient. The senior ticket is 5 yuan. However, you must go in the dead of night to listen to the waves.
Liuhe Pagoda is far from the main urban area of Hangzhou, surrounded by dense trees, and very quiet when there are few tourists. Currently there are only buses, and there may be subways in the future. It is very close to the Qiantang River, so Liuhe Pagoda is also a prime location for watching the tide. Liuhe Pagoda looks like 13 floors from the outside, but there are only seven floors inside, and there is a dark floor between every two floors. When watching from the eaves of the tower, if you feel that the wooden board under your feet is loose, it may be the entrance to the dark floor. The eaves of the tower shrink as the floors increase, but the floor is also more inclined. The top floor is the best place to watch the tide in Qiantang, but when there are many people, there is no way to squeeze to the window. Qianlong's handwritten inscriptions are hung in prominent positions on each floor of the tower, and each floor has famous brick carvings, which are very exquisite. No matter how beautiful the cultural relics are, it is not recommended to touch them. After all, you can't get anything by touching them a few times, but it will accelerate the weathering, corrosion, wear and tear of the brick carvings, and you may never see them again in more than ten years. If you really like it, just appreciate it!
Lu Zhishen captured Xiahou Cheng alive, and Fang La alive. Finally, when the Liangshan heroes were resting in the temple together, they heard the sound of the tide. Lu Zhishen was a northern man and didn't know it was a high tide, but thought that the enemy was coming. Then someone explained to him that this was called a tide signal. At this time, Lu Zhishen remembered the four sentences that the elders told him before he left: "Capture in summer, hold in winter, listen to the tide and be full, see the signal and die." It means that he will fight in Wansong Forest to capture Xiahou Cheng alive, and then capture Fang La alive, and finally hear the tide signal and die. Liuhe Pagoda, I think of the flower monk in Water Margin, and I feel very sad. Listening to the sound of the tide in Liuhe Pagoda. It's very interesting to watch the river view.
It's worth a visit. There is nothing left in the tower, but it gives you a different feeling. You can see the Qiantang River when you climb the tower. Each floor has a different feeling, which is really nice.
The cultural park is centered on Liuhe Pagoda and showcases China's pagoda culture.
The Liuhe Pagoda Scenic Area is not far from the Chuzhijiang Campus. You can buy group tickets on Dianping.com. The Liuhe Pagoda is nearly 60 meters high. It looks like 13 floors from the outside, but only has 7 floors inside. The existing tower was rebuilt in the Southern Song Dynasty. There are still many painted paintings inside the tower. Standing on the tower, you can see the Qiantang River Bridge and the new district.
Liuhe Pagoda looks very shy in the misty rain.
Tickets are 20 yuan, and climbing the tower is 10 yuan. You can overlook the Qiantang River Bridge. The environment is quiet and there are few tourists, which is suitable for weekend relaxation.
I usually buy a ticket to climb the tower, climb to the top in one go, and sit quietly in my seat for two or three hours, listening to the sound of the river rolling, smelling the water, looking at the green mountains on the right and the rolling river on the left. I calm down completely, even if it is hot when I go there, and I am out of breath when I climb the tower, I will immediately feel calm when I sit on the top of the tower. This is really the first time I feel "calmness naturally cools down"
Liuhe Pagoda is an ancient Chinese building built in the Song Dynasty. It is located in the south of West Lake, on Yuelun Mountain beside Qiantang River. In the third year of Kaibao in the Northern Song Dynasty (970 AD), the monk Zhiyuan Zen Master built it to calm the tide in Jiangjiang. He named it Liuhe Pagoda after the meaning of "Six Harmonies" in Buddhism.

Liuhe Pagoda has nine floors and is more than 50 meters high. It stands majestically and overlooks Qiantang River. The top floor of the pagoda is equipped with a bright light to guide ships sailing at night. Liuhe Pagoda is one of the famous scenic spots in Hangzhou. The towering ancient pagoda and the modern Qianjiang Bridge are particularly magnificent under the reflection of the green mountains, rivers and sky. Visitors here can not only appreciate the majestic appearance of the ancient pagoda, but also enjoy the scenery of Qiantang River.
It is right on the bank of the Qiantang River and is covered with trees. It is not only a tourist attraction in itself, but you can also overlook the Qiantang River from here!
You can overlook the Qiantang River Bridge and the Qiantang River flows slowly. A thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye.
If you want to overlook the Qiantang River and Hangzhou City, Liuhe Pagoda is the best choice! This is a real century-old building, which seems to be six or seven hundred years old. It was built in the Northern Song Dynasty... Needless to say, the scenery is beautiful. There are also magical murals and various brick carvings on the tower. If you are interested, you must go and see it. Don't miss it!

A pagoda courtyard was also built, which was initially named Shouning Courtyard. During the Taiping Xingguo period, Emperor Taizong of Song Dynasty bestowed the name Kaihua Temple on it. Now only the ruins remain. The pagoda has been repeatedly damaged by wars over the past thousand years.
The Liuhe Pagoda that tourists see today is a restored model based on the first year of Longxing. It is well preserved thanks to the repairs of successive dynasties. The pagoda is octagonal and seven-story. The nearly 60-meter-high ancient pagoda has 13 floors, and 104 iron bells are hung on the eaves. But in fact, there are only seven floors inside the pagoda, and the "seven bright and six dark" structure is very unique.
Liuhe Pagoda has been a favorite place for scholars to watch the river and recite poems since ancient times. The couplet on the temple reads: "The lamp transmits wisdom and samadhi, and the drum responds to the huge waves in August." The couplet on the pagoda reads: "The sound of the tide plays the Mahayana Dharma, and the shadow of the pagoda is always hanging without a fixed body." Whenever there is a high tide in autumn or a full moon on Mid-Autumn Festival, "the sound of a hundred thousand soldiers in the middle of the night" is enough to listen to the waves in Liuhe.
The stairs get narrower as you go up the tower, and you can walk out to view the scenery from different heights. Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty once visited here and inscribed plaques on each floor, which read: The first ground is firm, the two truths are integrated, the three bright and pure realms, the four heavenly treasures, the five clouds cover, the six turtles carry, and the seven treasures are solemn.
The stairs to the tower are quite steep, and the higher you go, the narrower it gets, so you have to be careful. We climbed to the top of the tower as quickly as possible, and then walked down from the top floor to the bottom floor. Sure enough, there were plaques and couplets on each floor. How could someone like me who is so interested in ancient monuments miss it? So I was very persistent in taking a photo of the plaques on each floor, haha.
