Lingyin Temple was built during the Eastern Jin period, the first year of Ham Hoa (326 CE). From that time until now, 1681 years of mainland Chinese history have passed. This is not only a highly historical temple but also has a prime location on a charming mountain river. Near the pagoda area there is a lake and in the middle are rolling hills and mountains. Therefore, this place has long been "favored" by many Central kings as well as officials and people. This is also the reason why when Su Dongpo worked as a governor in Hangzhou - Zhejiang, he often came here to enjoy, drink tea and write poetry. Linh An Temple is open almost every day and there is an entrance fee. So you can choose any time of year to visit and explore. However, because the terrain here is located in the valley of a mountain, surrounded by trees, mountains, and lakes,... When traveling, you should choose clothes that are both comfortable and safe. The fine customs and traditions of the pagoda - a sacred place of worship. Wearing sneakers instead of high heels or sandals... will be more convenient for walking.

The plum rain season in Jiangnan comes unexpectedly.

But in Anji, this villa sketches out the hazy rain with an entire hillside, with a strong exotic atmosphere, making one feel as if they are in Norway! Log cabins, black tiles, quiet and serene, opening your eyes to a view full of greenery, the sound of the stream, the air moist and fresh, sleeping here is just too comfortable. 🌧️Hangzhou·Lingyin Temple Lingyin Temple is even more quiet on rainy days, with mountains and lakes shrouded in layers of mist, and the rain makes the forests look greener.

To highlight the word 'run' (moist), the biggest highlight of the pavilion is the green screens, which are inlaid with Longquan celadon of varying shades, creating an atmosphere of 'just this green', as if one is in a dreamy Jiangnan landscape painting. On rainy days, as the rain falls in different places, the full screen of green shows different shades of light and dark, very photogenic! 🌧️Nanxun·Jiangnan Fu Designer Homestay The homestay is located in the ancient town of Nanxun, integrating modern design concepts with Chinese style, creating a beauty of East meets West.

🕌Lingyin Temple, an ancient Buddhist temple in China, also known as Yunlin Temple, is located in Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province, backed by Beigaofeng and facing Feilai Peak. It was founded in the first year of Xianning during the Eastern Jin Dynasty (326 AD), covering an area of about 87,000 square meters. The founding master of Lingyin Temple was the Indian monk Huili. Emperor Wu of the Southern Liang Dynasty granted land and expanded the temple. During the Five Dynasties, King Qian Miao of Wuyue invited Master Yongming Yanshou to revive and expand the temple, and it was renamed Lingyin New Temple.

During the Shunzhi era of the Qing Dynasty, the Zen master Ju De lived in Lingyin and raised funds to rebuild it. The construction of the temple halls alone took eighteen years, and its grand scale became 'the crown of the southeast'.

Compared to the sunny days in Hangzhou, I prefer the scenes after the rain, especially after the mountains and forests are wet by the rain, the feeling of freshness from the rain-soaked empty mountains.🌿 Such an environment is very relaxing, like a child playing freely.🧗‍♀️ - The distance from Lingyin Temple to Beigaofeng is not too steep, walking and stopping along the way to play with water and cool off, fortunately, there is not much tourist traffic this season.🦦 When I reached Taoguang Temple, I also had a bowl of vegetarian noodles, and the view from the high place was also unique. Hangzhou in May is like a natural oxygen bar,💦 walking in the mountains and breathing in the oxygen is a long-missed sense of relaxation. - ⚠️ Hiking Tips: ✅ The Lingyin Feilai Peak scenic area and Lingyin Temple charge separate admission fees, and if you want to enter Lingyin Temple after entering the park, you need to purchase another ticket🎫 But if you just want to hike, wandering around the Feilai Peak scenic area is also nice ✅ The vegetarian noodles at Taoguang Temple taste good, although the price is not low, it's worth it for the generous portion and the beautiful scenery🍜 ✅ There are many mosquitoes in the mountains, so wear long pants or bring mosquito repellent. The dense forest means no need for sun protection, and if it's not raining heavily, you don't need rain gear🌂 ✅ You can also start from Majiawu, hike to Beigaofeng, and then descend the mountain. The route is a bit steep but not very difficult🐦‍⬛ 📍

Lingyin Temple, an ancient Buddhist temple in China, also known as Yunlin Temple, is located in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, backed by Beigao Peak and facing Feilai Peak. It was founded in the first year of the Xianhe era of the Eastern Jin Dynasty (326 AD), and the founding patriarch of Lingyin Temple was the Western Indian monk Huili. During the Southern Dynasties, Emperor Wu of the Liang Dynasty granted land and expanded the temple. During the Five Dynasties, King Qian Lou of Wuyue commanded the invitation of Master Yongming Yanshou to revive and expand the temple, and bestowed the name Lingyin Xin Temple. In the Jiading era of Emperor Ningzong of the Song Dynasty, Lingyin Temple was acclaimed as one of the 'Five Mountains' of Chan Buddhism in the south of the Yangtze River. During the Shunzhi era of the Qing Dynasty, the Chan Buddhism master Ju De lived in Lingyin and raised funds for reconstruction. Lingyin Temple is one of the earliest existing Buddhist temples in Hangzhou, and there is a saying among the people: One must visit West Lake when coming to Hangzhou, and one must go to Lingyin when visiting West Lake, and one cannot miss the Lingjiu Peak (Feilai Peak) when at Lingyin. This is because the origin of this Buddhist country in the southeast, which has continued for more than 1600 years, is Lingjiu Peak, which is said to have flown from distant India. According to records, in 326 AD, the first year of the Xianhe era of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, an ancient Indian monk came to Hangzhou. When he reached the Wulin Mountains west of West Lake, he pointed to a small mountain and exclaimed: This is a ridge of our Indian Lingjiu Mountain, I wonder when it flew here, and said, during the Buddha's lifetime, this ridge was a place where celestial beings lived in seclusion, I wonder if it is still the same now. The ancient Indian monk was named Huili, historically known as the Indian monk, and the ridge where the celestial beings lived in seclusion that Huili spoke of is today's Lingjiu Peak of Lingyin Temple, also known as Feilai Peak. In the Buddhist scriptures, Lingjiu Mountain is a sacred place where the Buddha often gathered disciples for cultivation and preached in his later years. Regarding the arrival of Lingjiu Mountain, Master Ju De, a patriarch of Lingyin Temple from the late Ming to early Qing dynasty, once said: The World-Honored One preached for 49 years, discussed the scriptures in more than 330 meetings, and at the end, in the assembly at Vulture Peak, in front of a million followers, he entrusted the Flower Sermon to Venerable Kashyapa, who smiled in transmission, and the great Dharma came eastward, thus this mountain had come to the land of Zhen Dan in anticipation. Thus, the arrival of Feilai Peak is indeed not without reason. This is the Western Paradise, and the Western Paradise is here. Perhaps this is the origin of the phrase 'a stone's throw to the Western Paradise'. It is said that after Master Huili discovered Feilai Peak, he stayed and often practiced at Yan Zuo Rock (Li Gong Rock), and soon after, Master Huili built 5 temples along the banks of Wulin Water near Feilai Peak. One of them was named Lingyin, indicating that there were celestial beings living in seclusion here. According to records, after the construction of the 5 temples, Master Huili retreated into the deep mountains and never left Wulin for the rest of his life.

Remember to wear long sleeves and pants, paired with a pair of comfortable shoes 👟, as there's quite a bit of walking to do, and we want to worship Buddha comfortably 🙇. Before entering Lingyin Temple, remember to buy tickets for Feilai Peak 🎫 and for Lingyin Temple 🎫. You can purchase Feilai Peak tickets online, but Lingyin Temple tickets can only be bought offline. You don't need to buy incense at the entrance 🔥, as everyone will be given some, isn't that considerate! When entering the temple, remember not to step on the threshold 🚫, women should step over with their left foot first, and men with their right foot. Keep calm and composed, and feel the tranquility 🌈. 📸 Photography Tips When taking photos, remember not to capture images of the Buddha statues 🙅, to maintain the solemnity and respect of the temple 🙌. 💫 Wishing Secrets When offering incense, use your left hand ✋, and if there's a flame 🔥, don't blow it out with your mouth, but let it extinguish naturally by waving it up and down, this shows more sincerity 🙏. When making a wish, announce your personal details 🗣️, like your name, birth time, where you're from, and what you're wishing for. This way, the Buddha can hear your wishes more accurately! 🏮 Temple Pilgrimage Faxi Temple is a great place to pray for relationships 💑, and for wealth, you can go to the God of Wealth Temple 💰.

The second way: take the cable car directly 🚡, it costs 30 yuan per person to go up the mountain, and 20 yuan per person to come down.

However, the cable car is very popular, so it's recommended to go early! 🌞 Finally, I wish everyone can break free from confusion 🌈, may all your wishes come true 🌟, and sincerity leads to miracles! ✨🙏🌼
