Hangzhou's Leifeng Pagoda is the place where Fahai imprisoned the White Lady

Hangzhou Leifeng Pagoda check-in Ticket: Leifeng Pagoda ticket is 40 yuan, minors and students with ID pay 20 yuan, but discounted tickets need to be purchased at the offline ticket window, while full-price tickets can be bought online. Leifeng Pagoda (with stamp): Just wander around the scenic area, and when you get to Leifeng Pagoda, go upstairs. You will see a hall with two shopping spots, one of which offers postcards with stamps. The stamps are layered on by the staff, and they look really nice. I think 10 yuan is reasonable for the finished product. The pagoda has both an elevator and stairs. If you can, I suggest taking the stairs because the elevator wait is quite long. Climbing up floor by floor, each level offers a different view which is quite interesting (if you really don't want to walk, just take the elevator). The view from the top is amazing, directly overlooking the vast beauty of West Lake, totally fell in love with it. However, the corridor around the outer circle of the pagoda is quite narrow and can get crowded, so be careful with your phone when taking photos. On the way down, there's a relic museum you can visit, and a small exhibition hall nearby that you can check out without going out of your way. A super important point: when leaving the scenic area, if you don't mind taking the bus, it's best to take one back. If you want comfort, take a taxi, it's not expensive (for taxis, make sure the meter is on). But never take those unlicensed taxis that solicit passengers at the entrance. A two-kilometer ride normally costs just ten to twenty yuan per car. We were so tired and had been waiting for a taxi for a long time, so my family just got into one of those black cars. They only told us the price after we got in, charging per person, twenty yuan each??? There were 5 of us in total, they said one hundred yuan. I insisted on getting out of the car and stopping by the roadside, and after bargaining, they finally agreed to 70 yuan... The driver kept PUA-ing us, talking about trust (I was forced to cancel my ride-hailing app, and you're talking to me about trust?). You made your money, we took the loss, and you got to say all the nice things. All the way he kept blabbering, no one paid attention to him, but he kept on, as if he had suffered a great injustice. Never take a black car.
