About Great Pagoda
- 🏯 The Great Pagoda is worth seeing from both afar and up close for its height and colorful dragons.
- 🌳 The path to the pagoda in the Botanical Gardens is pleasant, although the noise from passing planes diminishes some of its charm.
- 👀 Climbing the 253 steps to reach the top of the pagoda is not too tiring and can be done relatively quickly.
- 🌿 Inside, there isn’t much besides a few benches and informational texts about the Pagoda’s history during WWII.
- 🗺️ On the top floor, there are drawings and descriptions of interesting landmarks visible from each window, including breathtaking views of notable buildings like London Eye.
- ❌ Some reviewers didn’t find the Great Pagoda appealing, but others enjoyed it for its dragon decorations and as a tourist attraction within Kew Gardens.
- 😍 Overall, visiting this beautiful place with excellent views is highly recommended.
