The slow life at Hangzhou's Chenghuang Pavilion
Wushan is a leisure spot beloved by the locals of old Hangzhou. Tea houses can be found everywhere on the mountain, where you can brew a pot of tea, order some snacks, and gather with a few good friends to chat and laugh, able to sit leisurely for an entire day. When it comes to the best place to appreciate the beauty of West Lake, Chenghuang Pavilion is second to none. Currently, the ticket price for Chenghuang Pavilion is 30 yuan, and seniors over 70 years old can enter for free with a valid ID.
Chenghuang Pavilion was built in the year 2000 and is a seven-story antique building with one underground level and six above ground, blending architectural styles from the Yuan and Ming dynasties. The first and second floors showcase the historical culture of the Southern Song Dynasty as well as the folk customs of old Hangzhou and West Lake. The third floor is the Chenghuang Pavilion teahouse, with a set meal for two priced at 168 yuan (including two cups of tea, two small bowls of lotus root starch, two small dishes of melon seeds and dried fruits, and a small dish of so-called 'intangible cultural heritage' pastries). The consumption here is mainly for the view, and the quality of the set meal is average, so don't have too high expectations. The fourth floor is the best viewing floor, offering a panoramic view of West Lake. The fifth floor is a restaurant, also a place where you pay for the view. The sixth floor has a flying pavilion, which is a VIP reception room, generally not accessible to ordinary tourists.
The treasure of Chenghuang Pavilion—the large-scale three-dimensional hardwood color sculpture painting 'Scenes of the Southern Song Hangzhou City', measures 31.5 meters in length, 3.65 meters in height, and 2 meters in depth. It vividly recreates the imperial palaces, official residences, streets and bridges, shops, temples, gardens, and the daily life and cultural scenes of all social strata during Hangzhou's most glorious period in history, the Southern Song Dynasty, as the capital city of Lin'an Prefecture. The painting features more than 3,500 figures dressed in the attire of the time and over 1,000 architectural structures. It has won the first prize for excellent creative design in the 'Hundred Flowers Award' for Chinese arts and crafts.
Overall it is very good, the old man likes it very much, a bit historical, the night view is good, the ticket price is not expensive, the first day to stay in Hangzhou hotel has been 4 pm, the calculation is open for this attraction, you can also see the night view
I only went to the hotel for a long time. The landscape experience felt that the time was too tight. The sunset view of Hangzhou City from the top of the Chenghuang Pavilion Tower was beautiful and would come again. The location of the scenic parking lot is tight and the parking queue is long.
Absolutely shocking, the building is wonderful, the view of the West Lake is panoramic, it is really worthwhile, there are not many people, the elevator 🛗 directly goes up to the fifth floor, and then goes down one layer to save time and effort, and watch the culture of the Song Dynasty.
Near Qinghefang Street, the scenic spot is very large. The hydrangeas inside and other scenery are beautiful. It is suitable for taking pictures. You can see the West Lake from the Chenghuang Pavilion, but you should pay attention to mosquito-proof sun protection. It rained in the morning and went with friends at noon. Pay attention to the slippery steps of the scenic spot. Friends who like to climb can visit
The attractions are OK, the tickets are not expensive. The scenic spot is not big, you can finish shopping in a while. There are photo shoots inside. The entrance is not very eye-catching, there are not many signs, you have to look for it when you come up from the mountain. There are mainly two parts of Chenghuang Pavilion and Chenghuang Temple. Chenghuang Pavilion belongs to the highest point of Wushan near the West Lake. You can overlook the West Lake and Leifeng Pagoda. There are Wenchuang ice cream at the door, 20 one, not expensive. Ctrip can directly scan the QR code of the order to enter, no need to change tickets, very convenient.
It will be the top of the Lingding, with a panoramic view of the mountains. Here you can not only feel the uniqueness of the Chenghuang Pavilion building, but also climb to appreciate the beauty of Hangzhou City. If I have the opportunity to visit Hangzhou City again, I will definitely go to Chenghuang Pavilion again.
I saw the night view of Chenghuang Pavilion, the parking is good, the elevator can go directly to the top floor, there is almost no place to walk, the night is very comfortable, the ticket price is relatively affordable, and I will go again!
