Baochu Pagoda is a historic pagoda located in Hangzhou, China. Erected during the Northern Song Dynasty (960–1127), it stands on the northern side of the scenic West Lake, offering stunning views of the surrounding landscape. The pagoda is slender and elegant, rising to a height of about 45 meters (148 feet) and is constructed primarily from brick and stone. Baochu Pagoda is not only an architectural marvel but also holds cultural significance, as it was originally built by a local official to pray for the safe return of a prince.
