雷峰塔景区
Leifeng Pagoda
Leifeng Pagoda is located in Xizhao Mountain on the south bank of West Lake. It is an important component of the traditional famous scenery of West Lake. The current building protects the ruins of the old pagoda while providing an elevated perspective on the relationship between the lake, embankments and surrounding mountains; its cultural influence also comes from the long-standing legend of the White Snake.

Opening hours
Confirmed opening hours are not available on this page. Check opening and last-entry times with the venue before setting out.
Getting there
It can be reached by bus or walking along the south bank of West Lake. The surrounding roads are often congested. It is suitable to be combined with Jingci Temple or the southern route walk, so you don’t have to make a special trip across the city to see only one viewing spot.
Practical notes
Elevators reduce some of the climb, but it's still possible to queue and use the stairs. Visibility is affected by weather. When visiting, you should also pay attention to the relationship between the old tower ruins and the landscape, rather than just treating it as an observation deck.
