Weekend guide to praying for blessings at Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou and half-day trip around Shanghai.
Because I just bought a new car and I'm nervous about driving it, I plan to go to Lingyin Temple to get a peace talisman and find some comfort. So, taking advantage of the weekend, I arrived in Hangzhou one day early from Shanghai and went up to the temple early the next morning to pray for blessings.
🚉Transportation guide:
Depart from Shanghai, buy high-speed rail tickets at will.
🗓Itinerary review:
At eight o'clock, get up and take a taxi to Lingyin Temple. Head straight to the scenic area and the temple.
Feilai Peak scenic area ticket is 45 yuan. Lingyin Temple is inside Feilai Peak scenic area. Buy Lingyin Temple ticket after entering the scenic area, which costs 30 yuan.
Because our goal is simple, to pray for safety on the car with lucky charms and popular 18-bead bracelets, and to ensure safety. Later, we also bought white jade Bodhi bracelets to protect our careers, hoping that we can all be safe, healthy, and successful in our work.
After entering, each person can receive a free incense. The incense and fire are outside and can be lit from the main entrance of the Daxiong Baodian.
There can be no open flames in the temple, prepare some change to offer golden incense.
We each paid our respects at the main halls, then took advantage of the sparse crowd to descend the mountain. Time was tight, let's come back next time to explore other places~
📝Attention tips:
1️⃣Recently, Lingyin Temple has been very popular and there are a lot of people. It is recommended to go early! There are already many cars around 8:30 am. We returned around 11:30 am and the tunnel was already congested, and there were also many people entering the scenic area.
2️⃣Wearing flat shoes for walking, still a bit tired from head to toe.
3️⃣Go inside the temple to buy prayer beads, all of which have been blessed and are the most authentic and genuine.
4️⃣If you take a taxi there, you can queue up for a taxi or take a bus back. We didn't wait and walked four kilometers back to where we were staying...got some exercise.

The large-scale song and dance "Song City Eternal Love" has been called a must-see performance for a lifetime. It is the soul of Hangzhou Songcheng Scenic Spot. It is also known as the "World's Three Famous Shows" with the "O" show in Las Vegas and the Moulin Rouge in Paris. .
The swan song, the silk, tea and smoke rain Jiangnan performance to the fullest, bring the audience visual experience and soul shock.
Today, the performances of ancient times have spread all over the country. There are already Sanya, Lijiang and Jiuzhai. Next, there will be Shanghai, Xi'an and other places all over the country, and there will be performances with local characteristics.
Since the Song Dynastys performances, I basically watched 1-2 times a year. This is a good time in my history.

Xixi Wetland's plum blossoms are in full bloom! I experienced the unique 'Meandering Water Plum Quest' at Xixi Wetland. If you want to experience the charm of the Jiangnan region, don't miss this place.
The plum trees in Xixi Wetland are mostly planted along the streams and are famous for their weeping plums, which, like the willows by the lake, can bend down to touch the water surface. This creates the unique plum viewing method of Xixi - 'Meandering Water Plum Quest'.
There are two ways to explore the plums in Xixi Wetland:
1. Water route: Take a boat along the waterway deep into the plum forest. You can charter a boat for 100 RMB per hour, with a boatman rowing. You can drink tea on the boat and relax; or you can take an electric boat for 60 RMB per person, which allows you to get on and off repeatedly to visit different spots.
2. On foot: From Zhoujia Village entrance - Meizhu Mountain Villa - Xixi Plum Villa - Jiaolu Tianzhuang - Gaozhuang - Hezhu Street - Jiangcun Market, the whole journey takes about 4 hours.
Best spots for plum viewing in Xixi:
1. Meilin Road
