The World's No. 1 God of Wealth Temple, Uncle Xiao Ming has been here.

The World's No. 1 God of Wealth Temple, also known as Lingyin Temple, is located on the top of Beigaofeng Mountain in Hangzhou. 1. History Creation time: Lingyin Temple was founded in the Xianhe period of the Eastern Jin Dynasty (326 AD) and is one of the five spirits (Lingjiu Temple, Lingyin Temple, Lingfeng Temple, Lingyin Temple, Lingshan Temple) built by the Indian monk Huili in Hangzhou. Name change: During the Northern Song Dynasty, because the temple enshrined the "Five Manifestations of the God of Wealth", it began to be called the "God of Wealth Temple". In the Ming Dynasty, there was a "Huaguang Hall" in the temple, so it was also called "Huaguang Temple". 2. Cultural heritage Literati and ink guests: emperors and literati and ink guests from all dynasties have visited and left many ink treasures, and Emperor Qianlong gave the "God of Wealth Zhenjun" and a poem. Stone carving cultural relics: Lingyin Temple has stone carving cultural relics such as the Imperial Road Stepping Stone and Liansheng Sanji, which witness the long history and profound cultural heritage of the temple. 3. Architectural features Geographical location: Lingyin Temple is located on the top of Beigaofeng Mountain in the northwest of Feilai Peak in Xihu District, Hangzhou. It has a superior geographical location and can overlook the beautiful scenery of the entire scenic area. Architectural style: The architectural style of Lingyin Temple is unique, with both the solemnity of Buddhist temples and the exquisite elegance of Jiangnan gardens. The existing main hall was built in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, retaining the architectural style of the Ming and Qing dynasties. 4. Enshrined objects Five Manifestations of the God of Wealth: The "Five Manifestations of the God of Wealth" enshrined in Lingyin Temple is its unique feature. The Five Manifestations of the God of Wealth was originally the God of Wealth worshipped in some places in Jiangxi. During the Song Dynasty, it influenced the Lin'an area and was deeply believed by the local people. 5. Tourist information Opening hours: Lingyin Temple is usually open from 7:30 in the morning to 17:00 in the afternoon (the specific opening hours may be adjusted due to seasons or special events). Transportation: Visitors can choose to take the cable car or walk up the mountain to Lingyin Temple. The cable car fare is 30 yuan for going up the mountain and 20 yuan for going down the mountain. If you choose to walk up the mountain, you can not only exercise, but also enjoy the beautiful natural scenery along the way. Precautions: You need to buy incense tickets (usually 8 yuan) to enter the temple, and incense is not free. When worshiping, you should abide by the temple regulations, worship in a clockwise order, and be sincere. At the same time, pay attention to entering from the left and exiting from the right (men enter from the left and women enter from the right over the threshold), and you cannot step on the threshold.
