I recommend young people to go to Jingci Temple for incense
For young people who choose to burn incense in addition to work and school, I recommend Hangzhou Jingci Temple, which is less crowded, convenient, and famous! Nowadays, the social pressure is high, burning incense and worshiping Buddha is not only for the middle-aged and elderly, young people are also very enthusiastic.
Coming to Hangzhou, the first choice of Lingyin Temple has been crowded. If you are sincere in burning incense and worshiping Buddha, I recommend a temple to you. It is one of the four ancient temples in the history of West Lake and one of the famous temples in China. This is where Jigong once transported wood from the ancient well, and also where the evening bell of Nanping rang... Yes, this is Hangzhou Jingci Temple!
Although it is a deep temple, it is a unique landscape in the south of the Yangtze River. The exterior is an inconspicuous temple, but it is a different world inside. Because it is opposite the Leifeng Tower, you can take pictures of the Leifeng Tower from many angles, and the distant Leifeng Tower has become its borrowed scenery.
When you enter Jingci Temple, you will hear the bell of 'Nanping Evening Bell'. My son and I went to ring the bell together. Ringing the bell, eliminating troubles, and increasing wisdom.
There are seven halls inside Jingci Temple, of course, the most impressive one is Jigong Hall. The renovated Jigong Courtyard has become a separate household in the south of the Yangtze River, with a pool garden in front, surrounded by walls, and the well of 'Ancient Well Transporting Wood' inside. The current temple is fundraising for expansion and renovation, and my son and I each donated a brick for a total of 60 yuan. My son received many blessings in the temple, and also accumulated blessings for the whole family. After worshiping Buddha and turning the corner, I met a high monk, holding a censer in his hand, wearing a hat on his head, and a yellow cassock floating... I saluted the master
Climbing to the fourth hall, there is a newly opened 'Jingci Calligraphy and Painting Institute', where some Buddhist art works are exhibited.
You can also feed pigeons in a corner of the temple🐦
In Jingci Temple, listening to the bell, smelling the incense, sitting under the shade of the trees. It's a good place to calm down!

There are ten beautiful scenery in the West Lake, I believe many people have not seen it, and the Nanping evening clock is the most difficult to see, because now all kinds of buildings and terrain changes, so it is difficult to see. And the location of the clock can really be seen, that is, in the Jingci Temple by the West Lake, but it is almost invisible surrounded by it, and it is not possible to go up after it is late.

Jingci Temple, located on the west Hunan shore of Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, opposite Leifeng Tower, is one of the four ancient temples in the history of the West Lake and one of the famous monasteries in China. Because the bells in the temple are loud, the "Nanping Evening Bell" has become one of the "West Lake Ten Views". The temple is under the Huiri Peak of Nanping Mountain in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. It was built in 954 AD for the Wuyue Guoqian, the senior monk Yongming Zen Master, formerly known as Yongming Zen Temple; the Southern Song Dynasty was renamed Jingci Temple. Five hundred Rohan Hall was built.
