The Hangzhou Canal Qili Hotel in the neighborhood, with a five-star standard, was renovated from 11 original national factory silk warehouses.

Xiangji Temple was first built during the Northern Song Dynasty (978 AD) and was originally named Xingfu Temple. During the Dazhong Xiangfu period of the Northern Song Dynasty (1008-1016 AD), it was renamed Xiangji Temple. In the late Yuan Dynasty, it was destroyed by a large fire and later rebuilt multiple times, but ultimately it was destroyed by disasters. In the 52nd year of the Kangxi reign of the Qing Dynasty (1713), two pagodas were built inside the Xiangji Temple. In 1968, the East Pagoda was destroyed, leaving only the West Pagoda. In 2009, Xiangji Temple was rebuilt.

Xiangji Temple Stone Pagoda is a cultural relic protection unit in Zhejiang Province. Built in the 52nd year of the Kangxi reign of the Qing Dynasty (1713), it is a seven level eight sided stone pagoda. Built in imitation of the twin towers of Lingyin Temple, but with significantly reduced waist and eaves, the structural techniques and reliefs are completely different from those of Lingyin Temple's twin towers.
