Sipailou

Step into Sipailou and time-travel to Hangzhou's Song Dynasty heyday! This historic landmark was the thriving heart of Lin'an, the Southern Song capital. Don't miss the exquisitely carved stone pillars of the four original memorial arches - their intricate patterns whisper tales from 800 years ago. When lanterns illuminate the traditional upturned eaves at dusk, the silhouette against the night sky is simply magical.
