Seeking seclusion and finally encountering the immortals】Zen journey to Hangzhou Taoguang Temple**

**【 Taoguang Temple, hidden in Feilai Peak of West Lake, is where Taoguang Zen Master, a monk from Shu, lived during the reign of Emperor Muzong of Tang Dynasty. The thousand-year-old temple is hidden among the cliffs. Bai Juyi once brewed tea and discussed Taoism here. Emperor Qianlong visited Jiangnan six times and climbed this temple eight times, leaving more than 20 poems. Climbing along the winding stone steps, the sound of Zen lingers in the forest. The flying eaves and brackets of the main hall, and the Jinlian Pond are said to be the place where the Zen master planted lotus. The most amazing thing is the Guanhai Tower. The couplet "The tower overlooks the sea and the sun, and the door faces the tide of Zhejiang" fully describes the magnificence of this place - although it is difficult to see the sea, you can see the mountains of West Lake and Qiantang River from the railing. The temple integrates Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. Lü Dongbin's alchemy cave, He Xiangu Temple and the Buddhist temple coexist. The blue bricks and white walls are matched with red doors and windows, with a unique Jiangnan charm. If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle, this "hidden fairyland" is definitely worth a special visit!
