six harmony pagoda
Tours Introduce:The Six Harmonies (Liuhe) Pagoda lies in Yuelun Hill on the north bank of the Qiantang River in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. It has for hundreds of years been praised by poets and men of letters.The purpose of building the pagoda was to suppress the tidewaters. The pagoda was named accordingly to signify the harmony of heaven, earth, and the four directions of east, west, south and north.
The pagoda we see today is an octagonal structure 200 feet tall. Seen from the outside, the pagoda has the appearance of a 13-story building; in actuality, there are only seven stories. There are various sorts of stone tablets and stone statues both inside and out of the pagoda, left over from the past times. Visitors here may be shocked and entertained not only by the long and splendid history of China but also the arts of Chinese calligraphy and seal-cutting.
