Description
Visit the millennium-old Lingyin Temple and embrace the unique charm of Feilai Peak.
This half-day tour mainly covers two parts: Lingyin Temple and Feilai Peak Scenic Area.
You can visit Feilai Peak, which stands 168 meters above sea level and is formed of limestone. Over time, long-term groundwater erosion has created a number of fantastic and varied caves, such as Longhong Cave, Yuru Cave, Shexu Cave and Huyuan Cave.
You can also explore the eastern foot of Feilai Peak, home to the Lower Tianzhu Temple (Fajing Temple), an ancient Buddhist temple dating back to the Sui Dynasty. A southwest walk along the stream leads to Middle Tianzhu Temple (Fajing Temple)—founded two years later than the Lower Tianzhu Temple—and Upper Tianzhu Temple (Faxi Temple)—built during the Five Dynasties and Wuyue period. These three are collectively known as the "Three Tianzhu Temples".
In addition, there is the Ligong Pagoda, erected in memory of Huili, the founder of Lingyin Temple. It is the only surviving Ming Dynasty Buddhist pagoda in Hangzhou.
Highlights
- Follow the fascinating commentary and soak up the cultural vibes of Feilai Peak.
- Jagged rocks tower around, and cliff carvings dot the hillside.
- Receive 3 sandalwood sticks as a gift for learning Buddhist etiquette!
