Wishing for a Hundred Blessings in the New Year | May every year bring smoothness and well-being

Jingci Temple is one of the famous ancient temples in Hangzhou, with a history of over 1000 years. During the Southern Song Dynasty, it was designated as one of the 'Five Mountains and Ten Temples'. The interior architecture is majestic, with clear levels, and it is rich in Buddha statues and famous calligraphy. One of the famous 'Ten Scenes of West Lake', the 'Evening Bell at Nanping Hill', is located here. With the new year comes a new atmosphere; listening to the bell and praying for blessings, may every year be smooth and well. - 🔔 Jingci Temple 🕐 January 28, 2024, Noon 🗺️ 56 Nanshan Road, Xihu District 🚗 It is recommended to take public transportation, bus stop 'Jingci Temple' Station 🎫 10 Yuan for incense and flower coupon - 🌞 I hope that when everyone visits Jingci Temple, it will be a sunny day. The temple walls are a warm yellow color, bathed in the light of Buddha. Whether there is sunshine or not makes a big difference in the overall external appearance of the temple. When bathed in sunlight, what the eyes see and the heart feels is all very beautiful. - 🐉 New Discoveries in the Year of the Dragon On ordinary days that are not the Year of the Dragon, I did not pay much attention to the architectural structure of the entire temple roof.

This time, while praying for blessings, I discovered that the top of the temple is decorated with three-dimensional dragon ornaments. - 🎁 Temple Exhibition 🕐 Date: January 28, 2024 – June 28, 2024 Exhibits: There are not many exhibits, but they are well introduced.
