Where is the most beautiful temple in Hangzhou? Seven temples with the best scenery.

There are some temple attractions with excellent scenery in Hangzhou, which are well worth visiting by friends! Especially in autumn, scenery is a must, so let's see where the most beautiful temples in Hangzhou are! See below for details.

Lingyin Temple 1

Lingyin Temple is the most famous temple in Hangzhou, the oldest ancient temple in the south of the Yangtze River, and the place where Jigong became a monk. The Buddhist community is known as the "Buddhist hiding place". Lingyin in each season has different scenery, and the only constant is the simple and quiet Zen.

There are dense old trees inside and outside the temple, which makes the stone road full of green dusty. Along the gurgling spring, the statue of Feilaifeng on the other side is more and more quaint and solemn.

In late autumn, the shade of trees and the yellow leaves complement each other, and the cornice in the corner of the main hall sticks out from the shade, making a radian in the quiet sight, which highlights a touch of lightness and agility in this solemnity, quite meaning "hiding ancient temples in the deep mountains" and "flourishing leaves, meditating with meditation".

Lingyin Temple has five main halls, namely the Heavenly King Hall, Mahayana Mahayana Hall, Pharmacist Hall, Sutra Pavilion and Huayan Hall. The Chinese Yan Temple is the tallest building in Lingyin Temple, where Tathagata, Manjusri Bodhisattva and Samantabhadra are enshrined, and it is a popular place for praying. After worshipping Buddha, the vegetarian noodle restaurant "Yuan Shifang" in Lingyin Temple is also worth a try. The noodle restaurant specializes in vegetarian noodles, as well as longevity noodles, Fuhui noodles and Ruyi noodles. The business hours are from 8: 30 am to 4: 30 pm.

2. Jingshan Temple

In the northwest of Yuhang District, there is a mountain called Jingshan, the town is Jingshan Town and the temple is Jingshan Temple. The ancient temple is hidden in the deep mountains and bamboo seas, solemn and solemn.

When you first see the temple architecture of Jingshan Temple, you may exclaim-it's too much like the Japanese temple courtyard style. This style seems to be rare in temples in China. In fact, this is because Japanese monk friend Benyoshisuke was sent to China in the Song Dynasty to visit Jiangnan Zen Temple. At that time, Zen temples were divided into "five mountains and ten temples", and Jingshan Temple was the first of the "five mountains and ten temples", with the most exquisite architectural form. After returning home from a long trip, Chereyoshi Yoshisuke drew the Map of Five Mountains and Ten Temples, which was later regarded as the architectural record of Zen Temple in the Southern Song Dynasty and widely circulated in Japan. It can be said that Jingshan Temple is the "originator" of most Japanese temples.

Jingshan Temple, which experienced dynasty changes and constant bonfires, was seriously damaged, so it was rebuilt. The rebuilt Jingshan Temple embodies the simple aesthetic conception of the Song Dynasty and reveals the mind of craftsmen. When you walk slowly in the winding cloister of Jingshan Temple and look at those tiles and trees carefully, you may feel the power of minimalism in a trance.

Jingshan Temple also has a fast hall, which provides vegetarian fast and only accepts 10 yuan cash. There is also Miaoxiangtang at the entrance of the temple, and vegetarian snacks are not to be missed.

Tickets: 20 yuan.

Opening hours: 8: 30-16: 30.

3. Yin Hui Koryo Temple Yin Hui Koryo Temple is located in Santaishan Scenic Area, about one kilometer away from Su Causeway. It was built during the reign of King Wu Yue in the late Tang Dynasty. The word "Koryo" in the name is related to the fact that Prince Koryo once lived here to seek dharma.

The overall area of the temple is small, but it looks small and exquisite. There is also the world's tallest Nanmu Wheel Tibetan Tower in the temple, which is filled with scriptures, and the bottom of the tower is equipped with a hand-push handle, which can promote the rotation around the middle main wheel, which is a way to understand Buddhism.

Because there are few tourists, you can take a leisurely stroll around Yin Hui Temple, see the light and shadow scattered among the trees, feel the wind blowing on your cheeks, and then sit quietly in Yin Hui Lake Academy in the temple for a while to enjoy the rare slow time.

Admission: free.

4. Ji Xiang Temple

Unlike other temples hidden in the mountains, Ji Xiang Temple is very special-it is located in the CBD of the city center, next to the fireworks. At the gate of the temple, you can often see nearby residents setting small tables in front of the temple, playing cards all afternoon, and children playing under the big tree to enjoy the cool.

Ji Xiang Temple was founded in the Northern Song Dynasty and has been rebuilt many times. What we can see today is the reconstruction in 2009. In the early years, it was the most famous temple in the mature area of the Grand Canal. As long as tourists come to Hangzhou through the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, the first stop is Ji Xiang Temple, which is the only place for pilgrimage from the Canal to Lingyin and Tianzhu. It has a high status in the canal and the Buddhist community in Hangzhou.

Unlike other temples, which are all made of wood, Ji Xiang Temple is a bronze building, and even the rafters under the eaves are covered with copper. The collision between classical architecture and modern cement reinforced concrete can be seen from some angles in temples. When the weather is good, the overall tone is warm, which is very suitable for Hanfu photography.

In addition, Ji Xiang Temple also has a bright spot-night view. The paintings on the ground in the middle of the square in front of the temple can shine, and the color patterns will change slowly. Inside, the wooden structure is illuminated by lights to highlight the wooden beams. At the beginning of the night, the lights of the distant city are set off, which is shocking from a distance.

Tickets: 20 yuan.

Address: Jixiangmiao Lane, Dadou Road, Gongshu District 1

For a long time, temples seem to give people a very rigorous feeling. In fact, if you visit a temple occasionally, you can temporarily forget the pressure and sadness of secular life and heal yourself with a short period of physical and mental emptying. Take this guide to Buddhism and visit the temples in Hangzhou when you are free ~

5. Faxi Temple, located near the West Lake, is probably one of the favorite temples visited by local people in Hangzhou. Because of its excellent scenery, it has gradually become a temple among network celebrities in recent years.

Faxi Temple was founded in 939 AD and flourished in the Tang and Song Dynasties. Because of its profound Buddhist culture, it has always been loved and respected by emperors of past dynasties. At that time, there was an old saying: "Southeast Buddhist temple, Qiantang wins;" Qiantang Buddhist temple, Tianzhu wins; There are three Tianzhu, and it is best to go to Tianzhu. "

On a clear day, under the blue sky, the green trees and yellow walls are opposite to the red lanterns everywhere, and the colors are distinct and complement each other. If it is cloudy, the mountains are misty and rainy, and the fog and temple fireworks hover in the air, it is even more lonely and ancient.

This place not only takes care of your heart, but also your stomach. A simple vegetarian dish, only 5 yuan, looks simple, but it tastes natural and delicious, which is not enough to last indefinitely, but it will put an end to waste. However, due to the epidemic, the vegetarian restaurant has not reopened so far, which makes people miss its delicious food more.

"Looking for Zen traces in the empty mountains and plains, only Shuiyue is looking for springs." It's about yongfu temple.

Yongfu temple is built on the mountain, hidden in the quiet forest, with only one yellow wall exposed or cornices protruding, full of spirituality.

On a cloudy day, the mountains are misty and rainy, and the combination of fog and fireworks in the temple adds an ancient meaning, with yellow walls and mottled shadows.
