The first blessed place in Qiantang--Yongfu Zen Temple|||

|||.The first blessed place in Qiantang--Yongfu Zen Temple|||The temple in the photo is Yongfu Zen Temple, known as "the most beautiful temple in China". It is built on top of the famous Lingyin Temple in the south of the Yangtze River, hidden in the forest. Yongfu Temple, founded by the Indian monk Hui Li during the Eastern Jin Dynasty, can be traced back to more than 1600 years ago. It is located in Hangzhou, considered the highest temple in the city, and is known as "the most blessed place in Qiantang". It offers a panoramic view of West Lake. In the early Qing Dynasty, the temple experienced ups and downs and disappeared. In 2003, Master Yue Zhen, the dean of Tiantai Mountain Buddhist Academy, rebuilt Yongfu Temple, and after more than two years of efforts, restoration was achieved. Yongfu Temple covers more than 300 acres, exceeding Lingyin Temple. Unlike traditional Chinese temples, it does not follow a symmetrical axial pattern, but is built asymmetrically, similar to Zen, integrating the mountain and the temple. The design includes mountain streams, stone paths, tea bamboo fields, and pavilions to create a beautiful and harmonious scene. Recommended shooting check-in time: around 8 o'clock in the morning, the sun will shine on the maple industry at the entrance of the temple Location: Yongfu Temple, from the Not Two Dharma Gate to the first blessed place in Qiantang, both the front and back doors are excellent check-in locations Ticket: Mainly charge the ticket of Feilai Peak 45 yuan!
