You can watch a sunset on the lake Everyone can choose a backlit angle for photos, it looks good Hangzhou Cuisine Guide Longjing Shrimp: Longjing tea leaves and shrimp are full, the overall taste is fresh and tender, refreshing and appetizing, with an endless aftertaste~ But it's not really recommended for those who prefer strong flavors Dongpo Pork: The pork is crispy and beautiful, fatty but not greasy, Those who don't eat sugar can ask the restaurant to add less sugar~ West Lake Vinegar Fish: Order with caution!! The fishy taste is a bit strong, and many people don't like sweet flavors, this kind of sour and spicy sauce poured on a fish that is both fishy and bland, just thinking about it is not appetizing~ Song Sao Fish Soup: Each restaurant has its own taste, it's a bit like water, with a sourish taste, a thicker version of chive yellow sour soup, anyway, I don't like it~ Misty Rain in Jiangnan, full of the spirit of spring I hope this guide can help friends in need~

🕌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.

🌸 Off to Hangzhou's Lingyin Temple! My grandmother and mother have both reminded me of many little details to be aware of, and now I'm sharing them with you all, hoping that we can all achieve what we desire and have continuous good fortune! 🙏 🙏 Incense Offering Tips Prepare some paper money and coins, paper money goes into the merit box 💰, and coins into the wishing well 🪣, symbolizing a rolling influx of wealth. Remember to wear long sleeves and pants, paired with a pair of comfortable shoes 👟, as there's quite a bit of walking to do, and we want to worship Buddha comfortably 🙇. Before entering Lingyin Temple, remember to buy tickets for Feilai Peak 🎫 and for Lingyin Temple 🎫. You can purchase Feilai Peak tickets online, but Lingyin Temple tickets can only be bought offline. You don't need to buy incense at the entrance 🔥, as everyone will be given some, isn't that considerate! When entering the temple, remember not to step on the threshold 🚫, women should step over with their left foot first, and men with their right foot. Keep calm and composed, and feel the tranquility 🌈. 📸 Photography Tips When taking photos, remember not to capture images of the Buddha statues 🙅, to maintain the solemnity and respect of the temple 🙌. 💫 Wishing Secrets When offering incense, use your left hand ✋, and if there's a flame 🔥, don't blow it out with your mouth, but let it extinguish naturally by waving it up and down, this shows more sincerity 🙏. When making a wish, announce your personal details 🗣️, like your name, birth time, where you're from, and what you're wishing for. This way, the Buddha can hear your wishes more accurately! 🏮 Temple Pilgrimage Faxi Temple is a great place to pray for relationships 💑, and for wealth, you can go to the God of Wealth Temple 💰. Oh right, at the entrance of the God of Wealth Temple, you can buy an 18-bead bracelet 📿️, which is said to be worn on the left hand for the first three days, and it shouldn't get wet! 🗺️ Itinerary Recommendation I recommend arranging your itinerary like this: first go to the God of Wealth Temple 💰, then to Lingyin Temple 🏯, and finally to Faxi Temple 🏮 to make a wish. If your wish comes true, remember to come back to fulfill your vow! 🙏 🚡 Ways to Go Up and Down the Mountain The first way: go to the 'North Peak Cable Car Ticket Office' 🏔️, there's a fork in the road where you can climb the mountain 🧗‍♀️, and it takes about 40 minutes to reach the God of Wealth Temple. It's about a 10-minute walk down the mountain, and you'll see a ticket booth 🎫, which is the entrance to the Feilai Peak scenic area 🏞️. The second way: take the cable car directly 🚡, it costs 30 yuan per person to go up the mountain, and 20 yuan per person to come down. If you choose to take the cable car up 🚡, you can take the cable car directly from the God of Wealth Temple to Lingyin Temple 🏯 when coming down. However, the cable car is very popular, so it's recommended to go early! 🌞 Finally, I wish everyone can break free from confusion 🌈, may all your wishes come true 🌟, and sincerity leads to miracles! ✨🙏🌼
