One of China's top ten famous temples || Lingyin Temple
🕌Lingyin Temple, an ancient Buddhist temple in China, also known as Yunlin Temple, is located in Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province, backed by Beigaofeng and facing Feilai Peak. It was founded in the first year of Xianning during the Eastern Jin Dynasty (326 AD), covering an area of about 87,000 square meters. The founding master of Lingyin Temple was the Indian monk Huili. Emperor Wu of the Southern Liang Dynasty granted land and expanded the temple. During the Five Dynasties, King Qian Miao of Wuyue invited Master Yongming Yanshou to revive and expand the temple, and it was renamed Lingyin New Temple. In the Jiading era of Emperor Ningzong of the Song Dynasty, Lingyin Temple was known as one of the 'Five Mountains' of Zen Buddhism in the south of the Yangtze River. During the Shunzhi era of the Qing Dynasty, the Zen master Ju De lived in Lingyin and raised funds to rebuild it. The construction of the temple halls alone took eighteen years, and its grand scale became 'the crown of the southeast'. In the 28th year of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty (1689), Emperor Kangxi named it 'Yunlin Zen Temple' during his southern tour.

今天第一天来杭州,直奔灵隐寺,今天初五,拜财神的人老多了,幸亏我们早上走的早。先去的灵隐寺然后徒步去的财神庙,确实挺累的,下山的时候看到灵隐寺门口拍的人喽,真庆幸自己出去的早啊,回去直接累瘫在床上,晚上打算去看西湖音乐喷泉,到了地儿,那人啊就,我怕自己被踩踏,果断选择回酒店睡觉休息。
