🏞️【One-Day Tour to Feilai Peak in Hangzhou】A Complete Guide to the Secret Landscape with the Highest Density of Buddha Statues!

There is a Buddha statue every three steps and a cave every five steps! This thousand-year-old treasure trove of Buddhist art hidden in downtown Hangzhou is so treasured that even Su Dongpo wrote a poem about it.

🌟 Two must-see attractions
🕉️ Lingyin Temple (incense and flower vouchers required separately)
- The Skanda statue in the Heavenly King Hall: A relic from the Southern Song Dynasty, known as "China's most beautiful Skanda"
- The Main Hall: A 34.8-meter-tall statue of Sakyamuni, with the entire text of the Diamond Sutra engraved on a lotus pedestal
- The Hall of Five Hundred Arhats: A three-dimensional mandala design resembling a digital maze

⛰️ Feilaifeng Grottoes (included with scenic area ticket)
- The "Three Saints of Huayan" in Qinglin Cave: A Northern Song Dynasty relief sculpture, whose head glows as light passes through the cave entrance
- The "Tang Monk's Journey to the West" in Yuru Cave: A stone-carved comic strip 300 years before "Journey to the West"
- The "Maitreya Buddha" by the Cold Spring Stream: A Southern Song Dynasty laughing Buddha, perfect for photos with Lingyin Temple in the background
