The Baochu Pagoda is located north of the West Lake on top of Precious Stone Hill in Hangchow, China.

 |
The Baochu Pagoda stands seven stories or 45 meters tall. Originally constructed in 963 AD, it is made of brick and stone and doesn't have an internal staircase. The name Baochu literally means "protect Chu" and refers to the last king of Wuyue. The most recent reconstruction of the pagoda was in 1933 when a lantern was placed on its top.  |
