East of Yue Fei’s Tomb, Precious Stone Hill looms over the lake’s northern shore and its famous Baochu Pagoda can be seen from all over the lake. The slender 125-foot-tall pagoda was originally built in 970 AD, although the current version dates from the 1930s and affords fabulous views over the lake. Above the pagoda the hill is covered in small walkways linking its numerous Buddhist and Taoist shrines and temples. It’s definitely worth exploring on foot.
