Tianfeng Pagoda
天封塔
A Tang-dynasty landmark of old Ningbo, a hexagonal seven-story brick pagoda from which you can climb to overlook the old city and the Sanjiang confluence.
Tianfeng Pagoda was first built during the Tang Tiance Wansui and Wansui Dengfeng reign periods under Empress Wu Zetian, and it takes its name from those era titles. It is the landmark pagoda of old Ningbo. The current tower is a hexagonal brick-and-wood structure rebuilt in the Southern Song style, with seven visible and seven hidden stories. Visitors can climb to the top to overlook old Haishu, the City God Temple and the Sanjiang confluence (climbing depends on on-site opening hours, and the fee is low). The City God Temple commercial district is right beside it, only a few minutes' walk away, so the pagoda can be combined with City God Temple and Nantang Old Street.
