Erling Mountain

Erling Mountain

　Erling Mountain is the most beautiful spot in Dongqian Lake. Surrounded by mountains on all sides, Dongqian Lake is itself bordered by water on three sides at Erling Mountain, creating a landscape where mountains encircle water and water embraces mountains. At the summit stands the Erling Pagoda, a square stone pagoda built during the Duan'gong era of the Northern Song Dynasty. It has four sides and multiple tiers, standing about 9 meters tall. Each tier of the pagoda features arched niches on all four sides, housing Buddha statues and bodhisattvas. Standing beside the Erling Pagoda, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the entire Dongqian Lake, taking in the full scenery.
