Leifeng Pagoda, 雷峰塔

When we arrived at Leifeng Pagoda, it was raining heavily. This pagoda was made famous by the legend of the white snake白蛇傳 which has been made very popular by the many movie versions done by Shaw Bros. Hong Kong.

It was raining heavily all day. I bought 3 umbrellas from a hawker stall @20 RMB
















At the base of the pagoda we can see some ancient bricks used in its construction so many centuries ago in 975 AD. This pagoda is a new one constructed in 1924. These old bricks were left here for display purposes.
