Upon entering Lingyin's main gate, you'll see the Li Gong Pagoda straight ahead, with the legendary Feilai Feng (Peak That Flew Here) Buddhist carvings beyond.

🌄 Feilai Feng Highlights:

• 1,000 years of history: First carved during Five Dynasties to Song era, expanded through Yuan/Ming dynasties
• 300+ statues seamlessly integrated with the mountain:
- The iconic "Laughing Maitreya Buddha"(Feilai Feng's symbol)
- Graceful Guanyin & expressive Arhats in naturalistic poses
- Often called "Hangzhou's Dunhuang" for its artistic value
