Leifeng Pagoda
Leifeng Pagoda occupies Sunset Hill on West Lake's southern shore and anchors one of the lake's traditionally named views. The present structure protects the remains of the earlier pagoda while providing elevated views across the water, causeways and surrounding hills. Its cultural importance also comes from the enduring Legend of the White Snake.

Opening hours
Getting there
Reach it by public bus or walk along the southern shore; road traffic is often slow. Combine it with Jingci Temple or a southern-lake route rather than crossing the city for a single viewpoint.
Practical notes
Lifts reduce some climbing but queues and stairs remain. Visibility varies with weather; keep the older foundations and landscape relationship in focus rather than treating it only as a panorama deck.
