Overview
The Six Harmonies Pagoda (Liuhe Ta) is a 60-metre octagonal pagoda built in 970 AD on the banks of the Qiantang River, 5 kilometres south of West Lake. Originally built to calm the powerful tidal bore of the Qiantang River, it was reconstructed in the Song Dynasty (1165 AD) and remains one of the finest examples of Song Dynasty architecture in China. The surrounding park offers views over the river.
