08:00 Activity attractions: West Lake (no tickets required: no admission), Lingyin Feilai Peak Scenic Area, Lingyin Temple "Lingyin Temple" is an ancient Chinese Buddhist temple, also known as Yunlin Temple, located in Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province, with the back North Peak, facing Feilai Peak, was built in the first year of Xianhe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (326), covering an area of about 87,000 square meters. [1] The founder of Lingyin Temple is the West Indian monk Huili. Emperor Wu of Liang Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty granted land and expanded it. Qian Liu, King of Wuyue in the Five Dynasties, ordered Master Yongming Yanshou to revive and develop the temple and named it Lingyin New Temple. During the Jiading period 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. During the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, the master of Zen Buddhism, Monk Gu De, became the abbot of Lingyin and raised funds to rebuild the temple. It took eighteen years to build the temple alone, and its scale ranked "the highest in the southeast" [2]. In the 28th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign in the Qing Dynasty (1689), Emperor Kangxi named it "Yunlin Zen Temple" during his southern tour. [3] Lingyin Temple mainly has the Tian/Wang Hall, the Main Hall, the Medicine Master’s Hall, the Dharma Hall, and the Huayan Hall as the central axis, with buildings such as the Five Hundred Arhat Hall, Jigong Hall, Huayan Pavilion, Dabei Tower, and Abbot Tower attached to both sides. . Activity time: about 1 hour

09:00 Activity attractions: Feilai Peak, Yongfu Zen Temple (no tickets required), free activities. Feilai Peak faces the Lingyin Temple on the hillside. There are more than 340 Buddhist grotto statues dating back to the Five Dynasties. It is a rare ancient grotto art treasure in Jiangnan, China, comparable to the Dazu Rock Carvings in Chongqing. Su Dongpo once wrote a poem: "There are huts everywhere in the mountains and rivers, but I love Lingyin Feilai Peak the most." There is a philosophical poem "Feilai Peak" written by Jingshi from Jiangnan: "When tourists come to the mountain and stop to take a look, they feel that a stone tastes like a mystery. It should be noted that things change according to circumstances, and it cannot be said that if they fly, they will not fly." ("Zai Jing Tang Collection" [ Note] When: Facing, looking at each other) The stone carvings include the Western Three Saints (Fifth Dynasty), the relief of Lu Shena Buddhist Association (Northern Song Dynasty), Budai Monk (Southern Song Dynasty), Vajrapani Bodhisattva, Tao Wen Tian/King, and the male form Guanyin (both Yuan Dynasty), they are all rare art treasures. What is particularly eye-catching is the smiling Maitreya Buddha with his bare chest and belly. This is a statue in Feilaifeng Grottoes and is a representative work of sculpture art in the Song Dynasty. At the eastern foot of Feilai Peak, there is the Xia Tianzhu Temple (Fajing Temple), an ancient temple in the Sui Dynasty. From there, going southwest along the stream, there are also the Zhong Tianzhu Temple (Fajing Temple), which was built two years later than Xia Tianzhu, and the Wuyue Temple in the Five Dynasties. The Shangtianzhu Temple (Faxi Temple) built on it is collectively known as "Three Days of Zhu". When you visit Feilai Peak, you will see that this mountain has no rocks, no ancient trees, no caves, no caves, and is extremely beautiful. Its landscape is very different from the surrounding peaks. You can wander among Lingyin, Feilai Peak, and Santian Zhuyipai. In the remote and deep atmosphere of the Buddhist country, you can explore and appreciate the charm of Buddhist art, and you can truly feel the rich historical and cultural charm contained in the mountains and rivers of West Lake. Activity time: about 1 hour and 30 minutes
