The historic pagoda stands above the Qiantang River and offers a quieter architectural counterpoint to the busiest West Lake shore.
For foreign visitors, the useful plan is not only what to see but which entrance, identity document, transport connection and exit make the visit work. Save “六和塔” in Chinese before leaving your hotel.
Quick answer
Check whether the interior climb is open, separate base-park admission from the tower ticket and visit for Qiantang River views within a south-Hangzhou route.
