Weekend guide to praying for blessings at Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou and half-day trip around Shanghai.
Because I just bought a new car and I'm nervous about driving it, I plan to go to Lingyin Temple to get a peace talisman and find some comfort. So, taking advantage of the weekend, I arrived in Hangzhou one day early from Shanghai and went up to the temple early the next morning to pray for blessings.
🚉Transportation guide:
Depart from Shanghai, buy high-speed rail tickets at will.
🗓Itinerary review:
At eight o'clock, get up and take a taxi to Lingyin Temple. Head straight to the scenic area and the temple.
Feilai Peak scenic area ticket is 45 yuan. Lingyin Temple is inside Feilai Peak scenic area. Buy Lingyin Temple ticket after entering the scenic area, which costs 30 yuan.
Because our goal is simple, to pray for safety on the car with lucky charms and popular 18-bead bracelets, and to ensure safety. Later, we also bought white jade Bodhi bracelets to protect our careers, hoping that we can all be safe, healthy, and successful in our work.
After entering, each person can receive a free incense. The incense and fire are outside and can be lit from the main entrance of the Daxiong Baodian.
There can be no open flames in the temple, prepare some change to offer golden incense.
We each paid our respects at the main halls, then took advantage of the sparse crowd to descend the mountain. Time was tight, let's come back next time to explore other places~
📝Attention tips:
1️⃣Recently, Lingyin Temple has been very popular and there are a lot of people. It is recommended to go early! There are already many cars around 8:30 am. We returned around 11:30 am and the tunnel was already congested, and there were also many people entering the scenic area.
2️⃣Wearing flat shoes for walking, still a bit tired from head to toe.
3️⃣Go inside the temple to buy prayer beads, all of which have been blessed and are the most authentic and genuine.
4️⃣If you take a taxi there, you can queue up for a taxi or take a bus back. We didn't wait and walked four kilometers back to where we were staying...got some exercise.
I am very happy to go to Lingyin Temple. The Buddhist place is full of hearts. I like it there. The places of interest and monuments. The South Amitabha Buddha. I went to worship and felt the atmosphere of Buddhism. The whole person has positive energy. It is a very good place. The mentality is different.
It feels like a must-come place, very good, like, very good, very comfortable, good-looking, good environment, very good, come to Hangzhou the happiest place to come here, especially good, very good, like, happy, come good
I often go, this time because I have friends, so I took friends to go, very good, it is worth visiting many times, the environment is very good, especially the carving on the stone wall is very good, Maitreya Buddha is even better! ! !
Today, the first day to Hangzhou, straight to Lingyin Temple, today the fifth day, worship the god of wealth people are much older, fortunately we left early in the morning. The Lingyin Temple first went to and then the Fortune Temple on foot. It was really tired. When I went down the mountain, I saw the people who took pictures at the entrance of Lingyin Temple. I was really glad that I went out early. I went back and paralyzed on the bed. I planned to go to see the West Lake music fountain at night. When I arrived at the ground, that person, I was afraid that I would be trampled on. Decidably choose to go back to the hotel to sleep and rest.
A piece of pure land in the city, entering the park from the ticket gate, slow-walking fine products, each pair of joints, bring inspiration, comfort and encouragement to tourists. Incense in the visitors' prayer, red plum blossoms by the stream, the temple hidden in the bamboo forest, quiet and peaceful, is a good place for people to let their hearts go, decompress.
This year, I went to the most famous monastery in Hangzhou before the end of the year. It is completely different from the feeling of going in spring and autumn. In the warm sun in winter, I can better feel the vastness of Buddhist culture. This time I actually went to pay my wish.
Lingyin Temple and Leifeng Tower can only buy adult tickets online, not children's tickets. Leifeng Tower only sells joint tickets on many purchase platforms. Not only sell tickets, but only WeChat pay attention to the applet Leifeng Tower Scenic Area to buy adult tickets, and Hangzhou cannot take the bus on WeChat. You can only take the subway or Alipay by bus on WeChat. I have asked for the bus service hotline. I can't swipe the card twice with my child. All platforms can only swipe the bus card once. It is too inconvenient. Such a big city should really improve it! The scenery of the scenic spot is still good!
The environment is very good, the traffic is more convenient, you can go directly to the scenic spot by bus, and you have also gone to Lingyin Temple. It is very large and there are many tourists. I also asked for the 18 seeds that I have been thinking about. It is worth a trip. It is very meaningful.
