The view is just amazing from the top! You can see the whole city, old and modern buildings alltogether, and the West Lake too, it's just breathtaking. It took me a while to go up to the hill where it is located, but it was totally worth it. The ticket was 30CNY/person.

This is actually an ordinary ancient temple, not too big or too small, and it is also one of the ten scenic spots in Hangzhou. Because I spent a lot of time in Hangzhou, I came here to take a walk. I was not shocked nor did I feel it was worth a visit. You can come here to take a walk when you have time. If you are in a hurry, you can skip this attraction because it does not have much special features. It is on a small hill that is not too high. You need to pay an entrance fee. There is also a subway station nearby, you can take a taxi or take the subway.

Surprisingly enough I couldn't find the place in Tripadvisor so it seems I am the first to review it...
Why surprisingly ?
Just look at the pictures I have attached, as I am using to do, so you can understand what I mean....
The place is absolutely splendid.
We saw it from far, actually when we walked from the West Lake to Hefang Street. It is located at the top of a hill contemplating all the surroundings. It is, actually 5 minutes from Hefang Street and 10 from the west lake (timed).
This place is magnificent ...by daylight ... but especially at night !
Our guide recommended we visit the place by night and he was definitely right .
Thanks Duddi ... Zion, yes ...him :-)
We were there after 19:00 and the Pavilion closing apparently after 20:00 so we were just in time ... but a bit late actually.
The cost of the ticket as almost always in China (as far as we experienced it) is not expensive: 30 Yuan = less than 5$.
After entering the park we reached the main building and climbed it straight to the 6th floor (there is an elevator) ...and there you have all Hangzhou and the West Lake offered to you...
The view is simply breathtaking !
After the 6th floor you just go down to visit the building itself, in traditional Chinese architecture, with other interesting scenes and exhibitions inside.
And after that you can just walk in the park which is very well lighted at night and simply beautiful ...
As I wrote we were to late to walk all the park so we missed a lot of it and especially two other interesting buildings.
Bottom line I believe this site is a must in Hangzhou, not expensive, close to the Lake and the Hefang Street, it would be too bad to miss it ...at dusk and at night of course.

Atop Wushan hill stood a fairly new Chinese style pavilion, Hangzhou Chenghuang Pagoda (Pavilion of the City God). The pavilion is big, seven storeys high, with elevators. We took the elevator all the way up to the sixth floor and had a magnificent panoramic view of the West Lake and part of the city. What impressed me the most were the displays of historical culture and folk customs of the olden times on the ground floor. I made my camera work hard and it was worth it.
When you go to this attraction there are a bit over 100 steps to climb.
Happy Travelling!

This is the tourist site on top of Wu Hill. This is quite a long uphill climb from Hefang Street but well worth it. The entrance fee costs RMB 30 per person and my three year old goes free.
On top there is a pavilion, a temple and something that looks like a big pagoda.
Temple is impressive. Outside is red packets for luck and inside there is this gigantic statue of the corrupt official that was unfairly executed. It is the sheer size of the statue that is impressive
We then went to the pagoda. There is a lift and stairs. I went into every floor and unfortunately there doesn't seem to be much here except for the view of the new Hangzhou city and the lake. So a bit of waste of time. However on the ground floor there is this sculpture that is very impressive. It is 31.5 m long, 3.65 m high and 2m deep and depicts life in Southern Song Dynasty and the sculptor received first award for outstanding design in China Arts and Baihua Awards 1988. When one looks at it, one can truly appreciate how beautiful it must have been to live near Xihu during that period. This was definitely the highlight of the attraction.

stopped by on the way back from Pagoda of Six Harmonies and Silk Museum. It has an elevator to the top. Apparently, there is a big banquet room at the top if you want it to host your closest 16 or so friends/family. 360 view of Hangzhou and the river. beautiful!

We didn't intend to visit this. Walking through Wushan park and the kids went up some stairs and we started climbing and kept on going. A great way to burn off some extra energy. At the top we were rewarded with some great views from the pavilion which had some interesting exhibits and dioramas inside. On a sunny day, the view would be spectacular. Nice to get away from the crowds. Actually found moments of silence in the middle of a busy city. Went to the nearby night market and Hefang St when we came down.
