The scenery depicted on the back of the Chinese 1 yuan bill is the West Lake in Hangzhou, and among them, it is a small island called ‘Santaninyue (三潭印月)’. However, the real charm can be felt in the surrounding **Leifeng Pagoda (雷峰塔)** and the walking trail that goes around the entire West Lake.
In fact, some people go on a boat to take pictures of the scenery on the bill, but there are many cases where the scenery of West Lake and the tower from afar are more impressive. Leifeng Pagoda is located on a hill on the south side of West Lake, and the serene atmosphere of the tower and the view overlooking West Lake are truly overwhelming.
There are many good photo spots, and on a clear day, the harmony with the city silhouette behind the tower is a work of art. Leifeng Pagoda itself requires an admission ticket, but the view from outside is beautiful enough.
If you really want to feel the Hangzhou on the 1 yuan note, enjoy not only the Santanrenyue but also the Leifeng Pagoda and the panoramic view of West Lake.
