The pagoda dates back to 970 AD. Situated on the north bank of the Qiantang River's Crescent Moon Hill, the pagoda has fallen into ruins and gone through reconstruction many times. The core of the present pagoda was built with the bricks left over from the South Song Dynasty. The upturned wooden multi-eaves and wrapping structure were first built in the ending years of the Qing Dynasty and have been refurbished many times. The pagoda stands at 59.89 meters in height. It seems to have 13 stories outside but only seven stories inside available to climbers. The Six Harmonies Pagoda has been under the state protection since 1961 as a state-level cultural site. Commanding a spectacular view of the surging Qiantang River, the Pagoda presents a quiet image of age-old majesty. Looking out from the top of the pagoda, sightseers can see as far as the misty horizon, enjoying an unforgettable, breathtaking experience. Since September 26,1937 when the Qiantang Bridge finally spanned the river near the site of the pagoda, the two grand structures have been associated as a landmark of Hangzhou and the West Lake. Inside and out of the site of the pagoda are many stone tablets and stone statues left over from the past dynasties, such as the minister's tablet, a Buddhist Scripture tablet erected in the South Song Dynasty, a god statue carved in the Ming Dynasty and a poem inscription on a stone tablet for the Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty. As the result of efforts made in the past few years, some man-made attractions have been built within the large compound where the pagoda stands. A huge bell has become a favorite site for local people for New Year celebration. A pagoda garden presents miniature copies of famed pagodas in China.
