Don’t just know Lingyin Temple when you come to Hangzhou. This thousand-year-old temple is even more famous in Japan, but few people know it.

Jingshan Ancient Trail, Luyu Villa, Shuangxi Rafting, Wanshou Temple... I never thought before coming here that there are so many elegant and interesting places in a small Jingshan Mountain. It is located in Jingshan Town, Yuhang District Jingshan within the territory is the northeastern peak of the Tianmu Mountains, bordering Anji and Deqing. It is named because the mountain is covered with a sea of ??bamboo and there are two trails that spiral straight up to Tianmu Mountain.

Unfortunately, it was raining on the day we arrived. The entire Jingshan Town was surrounded by mountains and surrounded by greenery and the sound of rain. You could smell the clean air, listen to the murmur of the rain, and the faint sound of rain in your ears. The Zen sound brings out the ancient meaning. In front of me is a hazy landscape of mountains, rivers and pastoral scenery, and in my heart I already have a distant artistic conception of leisurely seeing Nanshan Mountain.

If you want to slow down and feel the vastness of Jingshan Mountain, you might as well take a stroll on Jingshan Ancient Road, a long-standing ancient road to incense. It starts from Dongqiao Natural Village in Jingshan Town and ends at Wanshou Temple at the top of Jingshan Mountain. During the 5-kilometer journey, strolling along the ancient forest road shaded by green bamboos and quiet water streams outlines a poetic landscape.

Continuing forward is Jingshan Zen Temple, a small ancient temple in Jingshan, but it has too much history;

It was once the first of the five mountains and ten temples in the south of the Yangtze River. In the past, it ranked in front of Lingyin Temple, Jingci Temple, Tiantong Temple, and Ashoka Temple. It was famous both at home and abroad. At its peak, there were more than 3,000 palaces and pavilions and more than 3,000 monks;

It also once There were six changes of names, all of which were bestowed by an emperor. However, "Jingshan Xingsheng Manshou Temple" is the most famous and has been in use for the longest time. It is still called "Manshou Temple" in Japan.

The Song Dynasty was the time when Jingshan Temple was at its peak, and the entire restored temple followed the architectural style of the Song Dynasty. It was very simple and elegant. I heard that it was also the originator of Japanese temples, and many Japanese temples. Most of them are inherited from Dajing Temple. The first entrance building - Wufengshan Gate, is an all-wood structure with double pavilion. The first floor is the Tianwang Hall, and the second floor is dedicated to the Five Hundred Yingzhen according to the regulations of the Song Dynasty Zen monastery. It looks elegant and grand~

In the entire Jingshan Temple, you can also see Guanyin statues that are different from the past. They often sit on the stone pier with one foot, which looks lively and very spiritual. , I heard that these statues were designed by the famous artist Mr. Cai Zhizhong, showing the compassionate feelings of Guanyin Bodhisattva to welcome all living beings with joy and ease.
