In the first half of this month, Hangzhou was hotter than the same year, and there was less rainfall, so I finally went to the long-awaited Lingyin-Feilaifeng Scenic Area twice.
The reason why I haven't been there is because I am afraid of too many people. However, since the beginning of winter, the number of tourists has gradually decreased, pick up two days of working afternoon, take the 505 bus from the Huanglongdong bus station to the terminal station, walk forward through the parking lot, and go to the ticket office of the Lingyin Feilai Peak Scenic Area.
The second ticket of Lingyin Temple, which has been criticized by many people, I think most of the misunderstandings come from the inscription plaque of Lingyin Temple hanging at the entrance of Feilaifeng Scenic Area. People who don't know what is going on will think that they will enter this gate and arrive at Lingyin Temple, so they don't understand why there is a ticket window of Lingyin Temple inside.
Speaking of which, I completely underestimated the Lingyin-Feilai Peak Scenic Area before. Although I know that there is a mountain inside, there are three temples in the mountain, and there are old monks in the temple. Well, but I always thought I could visit the whole area in one day. Reality proves that it would be nice to be able to visit two of them in one day. One is the problem of time, if you enter after noon, the light is not very good after four o'clock in the afternoon at this time, in fact, it is only half a day;The second is the problem of physical strength, that is, come in early in the morning, Feilai Peak needs to climb the mountain, Taoguang Temple also needs to climb the mountain, although Yongfu Temple and Lingyin Temple do not need to climb the mountain, but the temple is also built on the stone steps that increase layer by layer according to the mountain situation, so it takes a day to play Feilai Peak and Lingyin Three Temples (Lingyin Temple, Yongfu Temple and Taoguang Temple) need better physical strength. Most of the tourists are actually concentrated in Lingyin Temple.
The first time I went, I also went to Lingyin Temple first, and the Feilai Peak next to it just looked at the flowers below. Then I went to Eifukuji Temple.
It turns out that coming to Eifukuji in autumn is the right choice. The maple trees in the temple are built along the stone steps of the upper mountain, and in this season the forest is dyed, and a few white camellias appear on the lower layer from time to time, which is more quiet.
Yongfu Temple is located at the foot of the stalagmite peak on the west side of Lingyin Temple, and you can walk 100 meters along the sign next to Lingyin Temple. Yongfu Temple, surrounded by mountains, is also built by the Eastern Jin Dynasty Indian monk Hui Li Zen Master Kaishan, has a history of more than 1,600 years so far, five dynasties of Wuyue period of the famous Ziyan Temple. In the first year of the Northern Song Dynasty, Xiangfu was renamed Yongfu Temple.
When you enter Yongfu Temple, you will face the yellow wall of the temple of "Momotfuku Solemn". On the side is a clean hand platform, go up the stairs, in turn is the Puyuan Pure Courtyard, the Fuquan Tea Courtyard, the Jialing Lecture Courtyard, the Ziyan Hui Courtyard, the Ancient Xiang Zen Courtyard five independent courtyards, which are dotted with more than 1,000 ancient trees and famous trees.
In the history of Yongfu Temple, there has also been a very famous monk, the late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty Xinyue Zen Master Dongdu Fuso, teaching the art of calligraphy and painting seal carving, reviving the qin road, and being regarded as the "father of seal carving" by Japan, "the ancestor of modern qin science" and "the founder of the Shouchang school of the Caodong sect", the influence is particularly far-reaching.
It doesn't take long to see a tea plantation. Many temples here seem to have their own tea gardens or vegetable fields.
Continue up is the Jialing Lecture Institute, and there is a plaque "Brahmanic Flow". The main hall of the institute "Fanlai Hall", for the Yongfu Temple ** hall and ** hall, is also the first Buddhist multi-functional art hall in Hangzhou, it is like the Western Elysium Jialing Pingjia Divine Bird on behalf of the Buddha Xuanhua, so the name Jialing Lecture Institute.
Eifukuji Temple has a long history with art. At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, Xinyue Zen Master traveled east to Japan, taught the art of calligraphy and painting seal carving, revived the qin road, and was regarded as the "father of seal carving" and "the ancestor of modern qin science" by Japan.
Continue up to a Y-shaped fork in the road, with a clear mountain stream on the right and the sound of murmuring water. It is said that Yongfu Temple used to have two springs of golden sand, silver sand, Ming Chenghua monk Gu Xiang built the sea day building in the upper courtyard, this is now the ** of the ancient incense temple.
The ancient incense temple is small, but the sparrows are small and complete. There are scripture pavilions and three temples in the courtyard, and the heart of the printing room next to it displays the calligraphy, painting and engraving works of Zen Master Donggao.
The commanding height of Eifukuji Temple is Ziyan Huiyuan, and as you can see from the name, this is where Ziyan Temple was once located. There is a large ginkgo tree in the park, just between the Daxiong Hall and the Fuxing Pavilion. On the platform next to Fuxing Pavilion, you can see a little bit of West Lake.
It is also called "Lake and Mountain Viewing Point".
Next to this small wooden door, just down the mountain. Enjoy the red maple again.
