Pagoda of Treasures

　　The Pagoda of Treasures is located on Daochang Mountain. Also known as the Writing Brush Pagoda or the Literary Wind Pagoda, it is commonly called the Daochang Pagoda. It was first built during the Yuanyou era of the Northern Song Dynasty (1078–1085), and underwent two renovations during the Jiajing era of the Ming Dynasty (1522–1566) and the 19th year of the Daoguang era of the Qing Dynasty (1839).

　　In 1987, the government allocated funds for its restoration, which was completed in June 1988. The restored Pagoda of Treasures has seven stories and a total height of 33 meters, with the outer wall of the ground floor being 1.98 meters wide.

　　The pagoda features a brick-and-wood structure, octagonal on the outside and square inside. Its body is delicate and graceful yet sturdy and solemn. Each level features projecting eaves with upturned corners, and beneath the eave corners hang wind chimes. The top is adorned with an iron spire composed of components including a lotus base, a precious bead, an inverted lotus finial, a canopy, a disk, a crescent moon, and a gourd-shaped finial.

　　Tip: Visitors coming via National Highway 104 or the Hangzhou–Ningbo Expressway to Huzhou can make the Pagoda of Treasures their first stop. Climbing to the top by the pagoda, close-up views include rolling peaks, misty clouds, secluded valleys veiled in green, and verdant pine trees beside clear waters. From afar, you can see small bridges over flowing streams, rippling blue waters, and the homes of the lakeside city — all stretching out before your eyes. On clear days, you can even gaze at Lake Taihu in the distance, with its scattered sailboats sparking boundless reverie and lifting your spirits.
