[A Must-Visit in Hangzhou!] The Charm of Lingyin Temple and Recommended Guide

#AbsolutelyFreeTrip Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou, China, is one of the oldest Buddhist temples in China with a history of over 1600 years. Surrounded by beautiful nature, this temple is a great place to calm your mind in silence. [Sights] Daxiong Hall: The main hall, where a huge statue of Shaka Nyorai is enshrined. Fei Lai Feng: A mountain with distinctive rock formations near the temple, with many Buddhist sculptures. Cold Spring Pavilion: A famous spot where a clear spring springs out, where you can enjoy the coolness on hot days. [Access] About 20 minutes by bus or taxi from Hangzhou's "West Lake". It is easily accessible from the city, making it a great place to stop by during sightseeing. [Recommended Points] There are few people in the early morning and evening, so you can worship quietly. Be careful when taking photos inside the temple (there are some prohibited areas). We also recommend the delicious vegetarian cuisine at the nearby "Lingyin Temple Vegetarian Restaurant"! Lingyin Temple, where history and nature come together, is sure to be a highlight of your trip to Hangzhou!
