Weekend guide to praying for blessings at Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou and half-day trip around Shanghai.
Because I just bought a new car and I'm nervous about driving it, I plan to go to Lingyin Temple to get a peace talisman and find some comfort. So, taking advantage of the weekend, I arrived in Hangzhou one day early from Shanghai and went up to the temple early the next morning to pray for blessings.
🚉Transportation guide:
Depart from Shanghai, buy high-speed rail tickets at will.
🗓Itinerary review:
At eight o'clock, get up and take a taxi to Lingyin Temple. Head straight to the scenic area and the temple.
Feilai Peak scenic area ticket is 45 yuan. Lingyin Temple is inside Feilai Peak scenic area. Buy Lingyin Temple ticket after entering the scenic area, which costs 30 yuan.
Because our goal is simple, to pray for safety on the car with lucky charms and popular 18-bead bracelets, and to ensure safety. Later, we also bought white jade Bodhi bracelets to protect our careers, hoping that we can all be safe, healthy, and successful in our work.
After entering, each person can receive a free incense. The incense and fire are outside and can be lit from the main entrance of the Daxiong Baodian.
There can be no open flames in the temple, prepare some change to offer golden incense.
We each paid our respects at the main halls, then took advantage of the sparse crowd to descend the mountain. Time was tight, let's come back next time to explore other places~
📝Attention tips:
1️⃣Recently, Lingyin Temple has been very popular and there are a lot of people. It is recommended to go early! There are already many cars around 8:30 am. We returned around 11:30 am and the tunnel was already congested, and there were also many people entering the scenic area.
2️⃣Wearing flat shoes for walking, still a bit tired from head to toe.
3️⃣Go inside the temple to buy prayer beads, all of which have been blessed and are the most authentic and genuine.
4️⃣If you take a taxi there, you can queue up for a taxi or take a bus back. We didn't wait and walked four kilometers back to where we were staying...got some exercise.
A private garden, about half an hour to go shopping, the garden of various plants, many trees and flowers I have never seen before have been introduced! There are also models to put out! There are many water plants in the garden, so you must do a good job of anti-mosquito measures! It's not good to be bitten!
I like it very much. It is convenient to buy tickets on Trip.com. This attraction is very large. It takes a long time to visit. It is easier to go on the way, but it is very troublesome to come back. The bus is late and the outside is black. Car, or go early.
Living near Lingyin Temple is to enter Lingyin Temple early in the morning. Departing early in the morning, many people have lined up, but the queue is orderly, the site management is in place, the wish is made, the eighteen seeds are invited, Lingyin Temple is indeed well-deserved.
Today, the first day to Hangzhou, straight to Lingyin Temple, today the fifth day, worship the god of wealth people are much older, fortunately we left early in the morning. The Lingyin Temple first went to and then the Fortune Temple on foot. It was really tired. When I went down the mountain, I saw the people who took pictures at the entrance of Lingyin Temple. I was really glad that I went out early. I went back and paralyzed on the bed. I planned to go to see the West Lake music fountain at night. When I arrived at the ground, that person, I was afraid that I would be trampled on. Decidably choose to go back to the hotel to sleep and rest.
Lingyin Temple has received a high rating among tourists and is known as one of the most worthwhile temples in Hangzhou. This temple is not only admired by tourists for its long history and spectacular Buddha statues, but also for its location in a picturesque forest, providing a calm and tranquil environment. Visitors generally reflect that although many steps are required to climb, the beautiful temples and surrounding parks are definitely worth a visit. In addition, the natural scenery around Lingyin Temple, including Buddhist stone sculptures on the Feilai Peak, also provides a tranquil refuge for tourists, making the whole experience more unique and memorable.
A piece of pure land in the city, entering the park from the ticket gate, slow-walking fine products, each pair of joints, bring inspiration, comfort and encouragement to tourists. Incense in the visitors' prayer, red plum blossoms by the stream, the temple hidden in the bamboo forest, quiet and peaceful, is a good place for people to let their hearts go, decompress.
This year, I went to the most famous monastery in Hangzhou before the end of the year. It is completely different from the feeling of going in spring and autumn. In the warm sun in winter, I can better feel the vastness of Buddhist culture. This time I actually went to pay my wish.
Lingyin Temple and Leifeng Tower can only buy adult tickets online, not children's tickets. Leifeng Tower only sells joint tickets on many purchase platforms. Not only sell tickets, but only WeChat pay attention to the applet Leifeng Tower Scenic Area to buy adult tickets, and Hangzhou cannot take the bus on WeChat. You can only take the subway or Alipay by bus on WeChat. I have asked for the bus service hotline. I can't swipe the card twice with my child. All platforms can only swipe the bus card once. It is too inconvenient. Such a big city should really improve it! The scenery of the scenic spot is still good!
