How much does the new Leifeng Pagoda in Hangzhou cost?

Leifeng Pagoda was built in the last years of the Wuyue Kingdom, before the fifth year of Kaibao in the Northern Song Dynasty (972). It was built by Qian Genshu, the king of Wuyue State, who used the national strength of Wuyue State at that time. When it was first built, Leifeng Pagoda had eight sides and seven floors, and was magnificent.

During the Xuanhe period of the Northern Song Dynasty (1119-1125), Leifeng Pagoda suffered heavy damage during the war when the Northern Song Dynasty regime conquered Fangla. In the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, Leifeng Pagoda was almost demolished in the tug-of-war between the Song and Jin soldiers with the Qiantang River as the front line. During the Qingyuan period of the Southern Song Dynasty (1195-1200), Leifeng Pagoda was rebuilt and the tower body was reduced from seven floors to five.

In the thirty-fourth year of the Jiajing reign of the Ming Dynasty (1555), the wooden eaves outside Leifeng Pagoda were set on fire by Japanese pirates who invaded Hangzhou, leaving only the brick core of the tower. From the late Ming Dynasty to the early Qing Dynasty, Leifeng Pagoda has always been one of the most talked about "Ten Scenes of the West Lake" due to its incomplete beauty of the exposed brick body.

At around 1:40 pm on September 25, 1924, Leifeng Pagoda collapsed. The "Ten Scenes of the West Lake" have since become incomplete, and the cultural relics stored in the pagoda have been scattered everywhere.

On December 26, 2000, the groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of the new Leifeng Pagoda was held grandly next to the Leifeng Pagoda site on Xizhao Mountain. With more than a thousand years of vicissitudes and more than a thousand years of passionate love, on this day, the history of Leifeng Pagoda opens a new page.

The tower has five floors, with a diameter of 28 meters, a side length of 11 meters, and a circumference of 88 meters. The total construction area of ??the tower is 6089 square meters.
