Access: Just a 5-minute walk from "Xiangji Temple Station" on Hangzhou Metro Line 3. Conveniently accessible from the city center. Recommended Plan: Start your day with a morning visit to the temple, enjoy a vegetarian lunch, and end the day with a canal cruise. A perfect spot for both history enthusiasts and food lovers!
