I didn't have the chance to experience the beautiful scenery of Hangzhou during the Asian Games, but I found stunning gradient colors in Hangzhou at the end of November. I've been to Hangzhou many times, and in the past, it was more about nostalgia, missing everything about my school days. Every time I went there, I would stroll along the route I used to take, reminiscing about the 151 tram on Yan'an Road. With two braids trailing behind me, occasionally a braid would come loose, the driver would get off the bus, pull the wire a few times, align it with the track, and then continue driving. This time, I was more in search of beautiful scenery. Hangzhou at the end of November was like a knocked-over palette. Cycling on the road from Lingyin to Beishan Street, the sunlight filtered through the dense leaves, and the golden plane tree leaves slowly fell with the wind. All worries can be put aside for the moment, and there is an irresistible urge to shout out loud. It's really too comfortable. From Jiuxi Yanshu to Lingyin Yongfu Zen Temple, then to Xiling Bridge and Bai Causeway, along Nanshan Road from Taiziwan to Huagang Guanyu, the golden or earthy yellow leaves are interspersed with red Japanese maples, reflected on the water surface, it's hard not to feel that the people of Hangzhou are fortunate.

Four separate courtyards are built along the mountain in a scattered and orderly fashion, waiting for everyone to come and pray. 🔺 Yongfu Temple was founded during the Eastern Jin Dynasty and has a history of 1600 years. It was officially opened to the public in 2005 and is known as "The Number One Blessed Land by the Qiantang River". ⛰️ Walking from the bottom of the mountain to the top, you will pass through the Puyuan Jingyuan, Jialing Jiangyuan, Guxiang Chanyuan, and Ziyang Huiyuan courtyards. Each courtyard has different main halls where you can take three incense sticks to pray and worship. ► There is a souvenir shop and a vegetarian noodle restaurant at the entrance of the temple (the noodle restaurant closes around 17:00); ► There is a small wooden pavilion on the middle platform, with wooden plaques hanging on one side. On the other side, there is a handwashing basin, where you can rinse your hands before climbing the mountain to worship; ► From the Ziyang Huiyuan courtyard among the four courtyards, you can overlook the beautiful scenery of West Lake from a rather high vantage point; ☁️ After a spring rain, the air carries a moist and fresh scent, without the strong sunlight.

|||.The first blessed place in Qiantang--Yongfu Zen Temple|||The temple in the photo is Yongfu Zen Temple, known as "the most beautiful temple in China". It is built on top of the famous Lingyin Temple in the south of the Yangtze River, hidden in the forest. Yongfu Temple, founded by the Indian monk Hui Li during the Eastern Jin Dynasty, can be traced back to more than 1600 years ago. It is located in Hangzhou, considered the highest temple in the city, and is known as "the most blessed place in Qiantang". It offers a panoramic view of West Lake. In the early Qing Dynasty, the temple experienced ups and downs and disappeared. In 2003, Master Yue Zhen, the dean of Tiantai Mountain Buddhist Academy, rebuilt Yongfu Temple, and after more than two years of efforts, restoration was achieved. Yongfu Temple covers more than 300 acres, exceeding Lingyin Temple. Unlike traditional Chinese temples, it does not follow a symmetrical axial pattern, but is built asymmetrically, similar to Zen, integrating the mountain and the temple. The design includes mountain streams, stone paths, tea bamboo fields, and pavilions to create a beautiful and harmonious scene.
