Beyond the Lingyin Temple, I recommend two serene spots for appreciating osmanthus. They are perfect for those who follow the Buddhist way of life, enjoy petting cats, and savor temple coffee.

The Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou, whether on ordinary days or holidays, is never tranquil. The diligent Bodhisattvas of Lingyin Temple and its renowned reputation attract a constant stream of pilgrims and tourists. I recommend two splendid destinations outside Lingyin Temple, both serene and beautiful, accessible from Feilai Peak. 【Yongfu Temple】Yongfu Zen Temple, defined by netizens and photographers as the most beautiful temple, is accessible with a ticket to Feilai Peak. After visiting Lingyin Temple, you can ascend the mountain to see Yongfu Temple. Built along the mountain, the temple's layout is staggered, creating a scenic view with a sense of depth. The mountain is not high, and there are many places to rest during the climb. You can visit the Fuquan Tea House for tea, or try the earliest temple coffee - the Merciful Cup. 【Fayun Lane】and Tea House (Fayun Lane Branch) is a small path inside the high-end Fayun Aman Hotel, which allows tourists to enter. However, if you want to return to Feilai Peak and Lingyin Temple, you need to purchase a new ticket. If you have a park card, you can swipe it back and forth. This road leads to the Hangzhou Buddhist Academy, so you will see many student monks crossing the path, especially in the evening, creating a unique ambiance. On both sides are the guest rooms of Fayun Aman, hidden in the woods. Fayun Lane is home to many cats, which are well-fed and can often be seen near the coffee shops and small restaurants. Additionally, it's the season for osmanthus blossoms in Hangzhou, and there are many osmanthus trees on both sides of Fayun Lane, filling the air with their fragrance. The hustle and bustle is part of the world, So is the tranquility.
