Is there any interesting place in Nanhu, Jiaxing?

South Lake is named because it is located in the south of Jiaxing, and it is also called Yuanyang Lake with Southwest Lake.

Nanhu Lake is one of the three famous lakes in Zhejiang Province, and it has always been famous for its charming scenery of "light smoke blowing and cool breeze coming".

Gu Haota is one of the seven pagodas and eight temples in ancient Jiaxing. It is named for its beautiful waters in the north. According to legend, Su Dongpo once came here for tea and got to know Elder Wen (Xu Wei). Gu Haota and its Zen Temple flourished in the Song and Yuan Dynasties.

Now the rebuilt ditch tower is located in Nanhu fishing village on the west side of Nanhu Lake. It is 63.36 meters high and has seven floors, with a building area of 600 square meters and a building area of 200 square meters. The tower is attic-style and surrounded by cloisters, following the architectural style of the Song Dynasty. At the four corners of each floor, there is a beautiful Buddha statue on the eaves, and there are quaint wind chimes hanging below, showing the artistic conception of "the wind chimes are high outside the willow." Tasha is a rare pure copper and gold casting in China, which consumes three kilograms of pure gold. Gu Haota is the only tower that Jiaxing can climb at present. Tower 179 wooden ladder spirals up, overlooking the South Lake, and the whole Jiaxing city is also panoramic.
