A place of tranquility for the soul, a journey of Zen

Hangzhou is known as the 'Buddhist Kingdom in Southeast China,' and the renowned Lingyin Temple has been a pilgrimage site for countless people throughout history. The Buddhist aura is deeply ingrained. I visited various temples in Hangzhou, but I have a special fondness for Lingyin Temple. Here's a one-day itinerary for visiting major temples: Morning: Sanzhu Kongmeng - Fajing Temple - Sansheng Stone - Fajing Temple - Faxing Temple Afternoon: Feilai Peak - Lingyin Temple - Yongfu Zen Temple - Taoguang Temple - Beigaofeng - Lingshun Temple (If you don't want to walk downhill or backtrack, you can visit the three Sanzhu temples in reverse order) Receive three free incense sticks at the entrance Pray in the morning, not in the afternoon; finish praying before 12 PM Queue at the temple's distribution center to get an eighteen-bead bracelet, 46 per bracelet Getting there: From Faxing Temple: Take the 10R shuttle bus directly By bus: Take routes 7, 324, 807, etc., to Lingyin Station and walk to the temple By car: Navigate to the Lingyin Temple parking lot, then walk a few minutes to the temple One ticket No reservation needed ▲Feilai Peak: 45 + Lingyin Temple: 30 (After entering Feilai Peak, you need to purchase a separate ticket for Lingyin Temple)
