The Leiflong Pagoda
Once again you have heard about our trip on Thursday from both Ms Cooper and Mr Dawson. Following lunch we visited The Leiflong Pagoda. A new pagoda was built in 2002 on the ruins of the old pagoda. The underground chamber of the pagoda has been uncovered and we were able to view this (most of us were fascinated by all the money that had been thrown behind the glass case that protected this area - perhaps it is a similar custom as we have with wishing wells?) The new pagoda is built in the same style as that of the original one in appearance, size and structure. The pagoda is 72m high and we went right to the very top - a few people were not very comfortable at the very top!
Once again read on for our photographic record of the visit to the pagoda.

Everyone safely back down again..
