Visit Faxi Temple

📍 Xihu District, Hangzhou, China

✨ Faxi Temple is an old Buddhist temple on the quiet Tianzhu Hill, full of the charm of an ancient Chinese temple. It is located not far from Lingyin Temple, but there are relatively few people. It is suitable for a leisurely walk and meditation amidst nature.

✨ Inside the temple, there are traditional Chinese buildings lined up along the height of the hill. There are various shrines, pagodas, temples, and the main hall enshrining many Buddha statues. The architecture emphasizes yellow and red tones with intricate patterns.

✨ The point that many people like is the view from above, looking down on the temple's roofs, with a backdrop of green trees. Especially in spring, when the magnolia trees bloom, it will add even more beauty to this temple.

✨ The overall atmosphere is peaceful and shady, suitable for those who want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city or are looking for a place to calm their minds. This temple also has an area for lighting incense sticks to pray and make wishes, and there are soft chanting from monks in the temple.

✨ It is not difficult to walk around the temple. It takes about 1–2 hours. Those who like to take pictures or are into the spiritual path will probably be impressed by both the atmosphere and the sacredness of this place.
