This sturdy pagoda stands atop a wooded hill at the southern end of the lake and offers excellent sunsetvistas. The pagoda was reconstructed in 2002 on the site of the 976 AD original. While the escalator and lift to the top of the pagoda certainly offer easy access to the stunning views, they do little to convey the pagoda’s thou sandyear history. For a sense of this, a look around the halls at its base will reveal a miniature silver pagoda, which supposedly contains a lock of Buddha’s hair.
