✨ 法喜寺- The Hidden Gem in Hangzhou ✨

Tucked away in the hills near Lingyin, Faxisi Temple (法喜寺) is one of Hangzhou’s most peaceful and spiritual spots. Unlike the bustling Lingyin Temple, Faxisi feels quieter and more intimate – the kind of place where the red prayer ribbons sway gently in the breeze, and the air is filled with the calming scent of incense. 🪷

Walking through its halls, you’ll find beautiful Buddhist statues, ancient architecture, and a sense of tranquility that makes it perfect for reflection. Don’t miss tying your own wish ribbon – a symbolic way to send your hopes for health, peace, or success into the universe.

🌿 Surrounded by lush greenery, the temple also offers lovely mountain views, especially from the upper terraces. It’s a reminder that Hangzhou’s charm is as much about culture and spirituality as it is about natural beauty.

📍 Getting there: Take a bus to Lingyin Scenic Area, then it’s a short walk to Faxisi. Entrance to the temple is free, though you’ll need a ticket for Lingyin Scenic Zone.

🙏 A must-visit if you’re looking for serenity away from the crowds.
