Hangzhou Leifeng Pagoda Ticket (West Lake View)

Meet Leifeng Pagoda, the Landmark of West Lake

Located on the southern side of West Lake, Leifeng Pagoda has been a symbol of Hangzhou for centuries. The original pagoda was built in the 10th century during the Wuyue Kingdom period. After suffering damage over time, it completely collapsed in 1924.

The current Leifeng Pagoda was rebuilt on the foundations of the old one, preserving its historical ruins, and reopened in 2002. Inside, you can explore the preserved base and relics of the old pagoda, delving into its rich history.

Follow the Story of The Legend of the White Snake

Leifeng Pagoda is deeply connected to The Legend of the White Snake (白蛇传), one of China's most beloved folk tales. The story of Bai Suzhen, a white snake who fell in love with a human, has been passed down for generations, making Leifeng Pagoda a special place for the Chinese people.

As you explore the pagoda's interior, admire the various exhibits, including wooden artworks and murals depicting key scenes from The Legend of the White Snake. It's an experience that offers not just stunning views but also a glimpse into Hangzhou's history and traditional folklore.
