Hangzhou's Zen Ceiling! A hotel where kids get addicted to waking up at 4:30 am with the family

Who would have thought! To hear the morning bell at Yongfu Temple⏰, the kid even set the alarm and jumped out of bed on their own!
The thousand-year-old stone Buddha winks in the bamboo forest👁️, and the orange cat abbot leads the room inspection🐈
The key is a small bamboo joint🎋, and the kid crawls out of bed to become a little scripture-copying monk📜
Here’s the guide that instantly turns kids into "Zen cute masters"—save it now👇
