Hi All,

Went to The LeiFeng Pagoga this morning. Originally built in AD977 it collapsed in the 1920s. It has been reconstructed a couple of times since. As you can see the only parts of the original structure are the foundations. There are some incredible woodcarvings inside the pagoda showing a Chinese legend. The views over the lake were good but I did go in a thunderstorm and I imagine on a sunny day you can see a long way.

Enjoy the photos

Jah Bless
