Inside Leifeng Pagoda (2)

You can find lots of coins on the ground, and I believe the 1 yuan that I tossed into it years ago was still here.

These coins have been buried by a thick layer of dust.
People tossed these coins as if buddha will receive and listen to their wishes.
Do you believe it?

Inside Leifeng Pagoda

This is definietly not something you can see as a common tourist. Normally we are not allowed to visit the inner chamber of the Leifeng pagoda, and this photo was taken by my friend when a special edition of the Hangzhou scenic spots were being filmed.
I forgot to take my camera home, so I have to 'borrow' her photos for a few days.
Looks like a tomb..and reminds me all those crazy mummy movies. ha

Leifeng Pagoda


A sunset view of the Leifeng pagoda, I didn't use Photoshop.
Leifeng Pagoda is currently a five story tall tower which has eight sides and is located on Sunset Hill along the south route of the West lake. The original pagoda was built in 975 AD, during the Five Dynasties and Ten kingdoms period. It has been a popular tourist attraction since being rebuilt in 2002.
Know more about this pagoda, you can check its wiki link below.
