Leifeng Pagoda is a tower by the West Lake in Hangzhou which was originally constructed in the year AD 975.It has been a popular tourist attraction since being rebuilt in 2002.
During the Yuan dynasty,Leifeng Pagoda was still well-maintained.During the Ming dynasty,Japanese pirates attacked Hangzhou.Suspecting it contained weapons,they burned its wooden elements,leaving only the brick skeleton,as can be seen from Ming paintings of the West Lake.
Later,due to a superstition that bricks from the tower could repel illness or prevent miscarriage,many people stole bricks from the tower to grind into powder.On the afternoon of September 25 1924,the tower finally collapsed.
Leifeng Pagoda was originally an octagonal,five-storied tower of brick and wood.
As for whether there was a mausoleum below,this was debated for years until finally radar was used to investigate.On March 11 2001 the mausoleum was excavated and many treasures were found,most notably a gold and silver coated hair of the Buddha.
In October 1999,the city of Hangzhou decided to rebuild Leifeng Pagoda anew to enhance the scenery of the lake.On 25 October 2002,the rebuilt Leifeng Pagoda opened,built above the ruins of the old one and with documents and exhibits on show for visitors.
