Hangzhou Precious Stone Hill Floating in Rosy Clouds,Baoshi Liuxia

Precious Stone Hill Floating in Rosy Clouds is situated on the Precious Hill. Originally, it was called as Shimu Hill, or Baoshu Hill. The hill consists of rhyolite and tuff rocks which shine dazzlingly bright in the sun like real jaspers. Odd stones assemble on the hill, like Yiyuan Stone, Tunxia Stone, Fengxiang Stone, Luoxin Stone etc. Therefore, it is named as Precious Stone Hill. Purple rocks on the hill and the Baoshu Pagoda sparkle especially like diamond inlaid in the morning and evening sunlight. Hence, this scenic is named as "Precious Stone Hill Floating in Rosy Clouds".
Situated on the Precious Stone Hill, Boashu Pagoda was erected in the Northern Song Dynasty initially. It was then destroyed and rebuilt repeatedly. Currently, it is a solid pagoda built of bricks with 6 sides and seven floors and 45 meters high. It was rebuilt in 1993 following the design of Ming Dynasty. As the landmark of the West Lake, it appears as though like a beautiful girl standing slim and graceful on the hill. A lot of attractions could be found on the hill, e.g. Baoshu Pagoda, odd stones, Sunrise Terrace etc. You can enjoy an excellent view of the West Lake and the downtown area of Hangzhou by climbing up the wooded Precious Stone Hill. There is a small red pavilion near the Baoshu Pagoda named "Alighting Phoenix Pavilion". Near the pavilion, there is Chuan Zheng Cave. Passing through the steep cliffs and narrow path of the cave, you will suddenly come to a broadening view.
