#2024Travel Review Feilaifeng The folklore of Feilai Peak is that this peak flew from somewhere else. The living Buddha Jigong was afraid that the villagers would be crushed by the flying peak, so he had an interesting scene of snatching his bride and forcing the villagers to chase him away from the village. Moreover, because he was afraid that the mountain would fly away again, Jigong Master suggested that the villagers build Buddhist statues widely to suppress them. Feilai Peak, also known as Lingjiu Peak and Jiuling Peak, is a limestone peak. The limestone terrain has been eroded by groundwater for a long time to form a natural cave. Many cave Buddha statues have been carved since the Five Dynasties, Song Dynasty, and Yuan Dynasty. Currently, there are 345 stone Buddha statues completed on the rock wall that were completed over more than 500 years. Feilaifeng is already an important Buddhist statue town in mainland China and an ancient grotto art treasure in Hangzhou. 🕰️Business hours: 06:30～17:30 Opening time 06:30 🏖️Atmosphere/Facilities: Solemn 📍Address: No. 1, Fayun Lane, Lingyin Road, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province 💰Per capita consumption: Lingyin Feilaifeng Scenic Spot ticket is RMB 45 💞Reason for recommendation: The Buddha statues on the rock wall are ingenious 🗓️Itinerary: It is recommended to visit Lingyin Temple

#naturalscape Lingyin Temple has received very high praise from tourists and is known as one of the most worth visiting temples in Hangzhou. It has a history of more than 1,700 years from the Eastern Jin Dynasty to the present. Although it is often criticized for being overly commercialized, it is still worth visiting❤️ It is said that the founder of Lingyin Temple was the famous Indian monk Huili. When he traveled to Hangzhou, he saw a mountain peak and said: "This is a small ridge of Lingjiu Mountain in Central India. I don't know when he came here? During the lifetime of the Buddha, there were many "Hidden by the fairies" is the origin of Lingyin Temple's name. Isn't it amazing? Because it faces Feilaifeng, the entire scenic spot is also called Feilaifeng Scenic Area. It only takes half an hour by taxi from West Lake, and you can buy tickets online. It takes about two hours to slowly visit several main halls. Remember to wear appropriate clothes when entering the Buddhist pure land. You can also eat plain noodles in the scenic area for lunch👍 I still miss the atmosphere of walking in the Feilaifeng Scenic Area in the rain. Listening to the dripping rain, slowly browsing the statues of Bodhisattvas in the sky, I feel that time has stopped and a sense of calm arises spontaneously. Highly recommended❤️ #100WAYS OF TRAVEL #Hangzhou Attractions #Lingyin Temple #Yongfu Zen Temple #Feilaifeng #一线天

#Mainland China Attractions Feilai Peak faces the hillside of Lingyin Temple, which is dotted with more than 340 Buddhist cave statues dating back to the Five Dynasties. It is a rare ancient cave art treasure in Jiangnan, my country, and is comparable to the Dazu Rock Carvings in Chongqing. Su Dongpo once wrote the poem "Everywhere among the streams and mountains can be a place to live, but I love Lingyin Feilai Peak the most." The Buddha statue occupies almost the entire Feilai Peak, so it is not an exaggeration to describe it as Foshan. The Buddha statues were mainly carved during the Yuan Dynasty and the Northern and Southern Song Dynasties, so they are of great value for archaeological and historical research. The Buddha statues on Feilai Peak are all carved from stone, but it is obvious that the stone used may not be of top quality, and the carving level does not feel top-notch either. So it may be quite attractive to Buddhists, but if you just appreciate the carving craftsmanship, it is not very ornamental for me. #GoodNewYearDestinations #ChinaTravel #ChinaTourism #Zhejiang #LingyinTemple #Buddhism #BuddhaStatue #StoneCarving #BuddhaStatue

Lingyin Temple & Fei Lai Feng Scenic Park Hangzhou Next on the list is this scenic park - I say this because I saw everything in the park except the Lingyin Temple.. haha... But don't fret, there are two other temples and lots more to see... Getting There - This scenic spot is located at 1 Fayun Lane, Lingyin Road, Hangzhou.. can't be missed. I took a didi (as usual), but there is also a bus terminal out front (I think I spied a bus line Y2...) Attractions - This park has loads of things to see.. stone carvings of budha legends, stone caves (amazing way to cool off during the summer) with more statues connected to beautiful streams, all envelopes in an ancient forest with big trees.. the sight is quite delightful. Admission into the park cost 45rmb - take a passport or the picture of the information page with you. The Lingyin Temple is inside the park, so I don't think it's possible to go to the Temple without paying for the park - there could be a seperate admission cost for the Temple but sadly, didn't get the chance to find out.. we trail the park first and checkout the temple on the way out.. We walked along the streams and park, and other temples way ahead... nice hike until the drizzle started. I was prepared with my umbrella but the light drizzle turned into a frantic downpour.. my umbrella was no match for it.. the trail turned slopy with about 20 floors in stairs which did interesting things to the hamstrings. I was completely drenched at the peak .. but still proceeded back out and to the Lingyin temple. My travel code showed I was in Shanghai 2 weeks back and the guards kept enquiring in chinese, passport and visa details, filling forms - drenched me wasn't in the mood for this, so I left. Food & Restaurants - Small shops within the scenic park. large variety of restaurants are at the entrance, just before the ticketing office - so easy bite before or after the site. #hiking#scenicspotphotoguide#nationalpark

I'm referring to this place as the biggest of the all Buddha temple in China, because it is so huge in area. This 12 km hike has started for us by 10🕙 in the morning. We were curious to see the Feilai peak, but it was temporarily closed for some maintenance. And so, we went on to other hiking 🥾 path like the Shili langdang path that took us to Five Clouds Hill where you can see some tea 🍵 plantations (although in small amount) below the pagoda like structure. It is so good fragrance, that re-energized us to continue until Hupao mountain; translation would be Tiger spring mountain. There are places to relax and eat here. I would say this as a moderate hike, with quite less difficulty. Should be doable to anyone💪. #hiking #summervacation#hikingtrails

#discoverchina After days of exploring Hangzhou’s lakeside wonders, I venture northwest into lush, mist-cloaked hills. Cicadas hum like monks chanting, and the scent of pine sharpens the air. Then I see it—**Lingyin Temple** (Temple of the Soul’s Retreat), its golden roofs peeking through ancient trees. Let’s step into a realm where spirituality and nature entwine…* 🌿 **Gateway to Eternity** The path begins at **Feilai Feng** (Peak Flown from Afar), a limestone marvel riddled with **470+ Buddhist carvings** chiseled into caves and cliffs. Legend says this peak flew here from India, carrying stone Buddhas that guard the temple. I weave through grottoes, tracing weathered hands of bodhisattvas and grinning arhats frozen mid-laugh. A 10-meter **Maitreya Buddha** gazes down, moss clinging to his curls. Nature and divinity, fused. 🏯 **Hall of Heavenly Kings** Past the ticket gate, vermilion gates swing open to the first hall. The **Maitreya Buddha** greets me again, belly round as the moon, flanked by four fierce celestial kings. Their painted eyes follow me—*protectors or judges?* Incense coils upward, carrying whispers of pilgrims who’ve knelt here since **328 AD**, when the temple was founded by monk Hui Li. Wars and fires have razed it; each rebuild layers resilience into its bones. ✨ **The Great Buddha Hall: A Masterpiece Reborn** The heart of Lingyin takes my breath away. Inside the towering **Great Buddha Hall**, a 20-meter **Sakyamuni Buddha** sits atop a lotus, carved from 24 blocks of camphorwood. Gold leaf shimmers in shafts of light, his expression a paradox of serenity and power. To his left, **Guanyin** stands with 12 compassionate faces; to his right, **Mahasthamaprapta** holds a lotus, symbolizing wisdom. Devotees prostrate, foreheads to the floor, as monks rhythmically strike singing bowls. I sit quietly—*how do you breathe in a place like this?* 🍃 **Forest of Enlightenment** Behind the main halls, Lingyin unfolds into a labyrinth of serenity. I follow a stream to the **Cold Spring Pavilion**, where poet Bai Juyi once scribbled verses about its “jade-green waters.” Nearby, the **Arhat Hall** houses 500 golden statues—each with wild, unique expressions: a sage clutching a tiger, another meditating upside-down. Kids giggle, trying to match their own faces to the arhats’. *Pure joy.* 🕊️ **Whispers of Tea & Time** Exiting the temple, I stumble upon a tea house tucked under maple trees. A wizened server pours **Longjing tea** into a porcelain cup. “Grown on these hills,” he says. The first sip is earthy, bright—a liquid echo of Lingyin’s soul. Nearby, a calligrapher brushes ink onto red ribbons; wishes for health, love, peace. I tie mine to a branch, watching it flutter like a prayer flag. **Why Lingyin Stays With You** Lingyin isn’t just a temple—it’s an ecosystem of faith. The rush of streams, rustle of bamboo, and echoes of ancient chants blur the line between earth and heaven. You leave feeling both t
