In Hangzhou, you may choose not to climb the Leifeng Pagoda, but you should not miss the Jingci Temple

I don't believe in gods or Buddhas, but I really enjoy visiting temples because they have their own unique tranquility and stability. In every city I visit, the local temples are a must-see for me. The scenery in Jingci Temple is beautiful. Every flower, every blade of grass, and every leaf is interesting. The warm reminder signs can also provoke deep thought. Here, I also found a tree hole hiding under the grass, not wanting to be discovered. Jingci Temple and Leifeng Pagoda face each other across a road. Standing in front of the highest hall of Jingci Temple, the view is exceptionally beautiful, and it's a great spot for taking photos. When you come to Hangzhou, you may not enter the Leifeng Pagoda, but you must visit Jingci Temple. If you go to the highest floor of the Leifeng Pagoda, you must try the telescope there. After inserting a coin, you will be surprised to find that it will 'swallow' your money (they are broken). Regarding transportation, both attractions have dedicated bus stops. You can get off at either Jingci Temple or Leifeng Pagoda, as they are very close to each other. Regarding the itinerary, it is recommended to visit Jingci Temple first, then enter the Leifeng Pagoda scenic area. The scenic area does not charge an entrance fee, but entering the Leifeng Pagoda does. After visiting, you can walk directly to the West Lake shoreline from within the scenic area.
