🏞️【One-Day Tour to Feilai Peak in Hangzhou】A Complete Guide to the Secret Landscape with the Highest Density of Buddha Statues!

There is a Buddha statue every three steps and a cave every five steps! This thousand-year-old treasure trove of Buddhist art hidden in downtown Hangzhou is so treasured that even Su Dongpo wrote a poem about it. 🌟 Two must-see attractions 🕉️ Lingyin Temple (incense and flower vouchers required separately) - The Skanda statue in the Heavenly King Hall: A relic from the Southern Song Dynasty, known as "China's most beautiful Skanda" - The Main Hall: A 34.8-meter-tall statue of Sakyamuni, with the entire text of the Diamond Sutra engraved on a lotus pedestal - The Hall of Five Hundred Arhats: A three-dimensional mandala design resembling a digital maze ⛰️ Feilaifeng Grottoes (included with scenic area ticket) - The "Three Saints of Huayan" in Qinglin Cave: A Northern Song Dynasty relief sculpture, whose head glows as light passes through the cave entrance - The "Tang Monk's Journey to the West" in Yuru Cave: A stone-carved comic strip 300 years before "Journey to the West" - The "Maitreya Buddha" by the Cold Spring Stream: A Southern Song Dynasty laughing Buddha, perfect for photos with Lingyin Temple in the background 🚶 Perfect Tour Route 1️⃣ 10:00 AM Enter through the main gate and head straight to the Feilai Peak Grottoes (avoid the crowds) 2️⃣ 11:00 AM Enter Lingyin Temple 3️⃣ 12:30 PM Rest at the Cold Spring Pavilion and enjoy some vegetarian noodles served outside the temple 💡 Tips 🎫 Tickets: Feilai Peak 45 yuan + Lingyin Temple 30 yuan (with three incense sticks included) 👟 Essential: Non-slip shoes (the mossy stone steps can be slippery) Only when you see the flying apsaras' robes carved from limestone by Northern Song Dynasty artisans will you truly understand the pinnacle of Wuyue Buddhist art! #AugustDestinations2025 #Hangzhou #LingyinTemple #Feilaifeng
