Hangzhou Mountaineering · The Group's Favorite Among the Youth, Visiting Faxi Temple to Burn Incense and Worship Buddha

🔹In Hangzhou's Tianzhu Mountain, there are three famous temples, historically known as the 'Three Tianzhu Temples', all of which are ancient famous temples of Hangzhou. The Lower Tianzhu was established the earliest, with a history of over 1660 years, and even the latest established Upper Tianzhu Temple has a history of a thousand years. The 'Three Tianzhus' originally had their own names, now the Upper, Middle, and Lower Tianzhus are named 'Faxi Temple', 'Fajing Temple', and 'Fajing Temple', respectively, renamed by Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, who also personally inscribed the temple plaques. The Upper Tianzhu's Faxi Temple is the largest among the three. 1️⃣ Vegetarian Meal: The most famous thing about Faxi Temple is not the temple architecture, nor the Buddha statues, nor the abbot monks, but — the vegetarian meals, vegetables grown by the monks themselves, 5 yuan per person. 2️⃣ Touching Characters: Right at the entrance, there is a stone wall filled with characters. Popular ones like 'Happiness, Fortune, Prosperity, Peace, Filial Piety...' have been touched so much that they have faded. You can also try to find and touch your own surname to receive some good fortune. 3️⃣ Hanging Blessing Strips: There are many different types of wish blessing strips. Choose the one you want, write your name on it, and you can ask the master to hang it under the lotus, 100 yuan per strip, which can be hung for a year. 4️⃣ Photography: Enter from the Dharma distribution center and go straight up the stairs to reach the most classic and sometimes queue-worthy photo spot. The architecture of Faxi Temple and the distant mountains complement each other, making for great photos. The temple's yellow walls and architectural framing can all be utilized. See picture 5 5️⃣ Cultural and Creative Products: Lastly, don't miss out on the cute cultural and creative products from Faxi Temple. In addition to the stunningly beautiful amulets, there are also super cute incense canvas bags, and endlessly charming Buddhist-themed postcards - 📍Address: No. 239 Tianzhu Road, Xihu District, Hangzhou 🚇Transportation: Take bus routes 103; 121; 324M; 508H; 1314; or the Lingyin Special Line from Zhejiang Parking Lot to 'Upper Tianzhu' station 🎫Ticket: 10 yuan per person ⏰Hours: 8:30am-5:00pm -
