I didn't have the chance to experience the beautiful scenery of Hangzhou during the Asian Games, but I found stunning gradient colors in Hangzhou at the end of November. I've been to Hangzhou many times, and in the past, it was more about nostalgia, missing everything about my school days. Every time I went there, I would stroll along the route I used to take, reminiscing about the 151 tram on Yan'an Road. With two braids trailing behind me, occasionally a braid would come loose, the driver would get off the bus, pull the wire a few times, align it with the track, and then continue driving. This time, I was more in search of beautiful scenery. Hangzhou at the end of November was like a knocked-over palette. Cycling on the road from Lingyin to Beishan Street, the sunlight filtered through the dense leaves, and the golden plane tree leaves slowly fell with the wind. All worries can be put aside for the moment, and there is an irresistible urge to shout out loud. It's really too comfortable. From Jiuxi Yanshu to Lingyin Yongfu Zen Temple, then to Xiling Bridge and Bai Causeway, along Nanshan Road from Taiziwan to Huagang Guanyu, the golden or earthy yellow leaves are interspersed with red Japanese maples, reflected on the water surface, it's hard not to feel that the people of Hangzhou are fortunate.

[Beg] Hangzhou Yongfu Temple is a scenic spot in West Lake District, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province. It is located at the foot of Shisun Peak, about one li west of Lingyin Temple. It has a history of more than 1,600 years since it was founded by Zen Master Huili in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. According to Volume 32 "Temples and Monasteries" of "Hangzhou Prefecture Records" during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, Yongfu Temple is located at the foot of a mountain opposite the Huyuan Cave on Feilai Peak. It was originally divided into two temples, the upper and lower temples. Like Xiatianzhu (formerly known as Fanjingyuan) and other temples, it was founded by Zen Master Huili. It is recorded that in the first year of Xianhe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (326 AD), Huili, an eminent monk from Western India, came to Hangzhou to build a temple. He successively built ten temples including Lingjiu and Lingyin, and Yongfu Temple was one of them. Yongfu Temple covers an area of ​​more than 300 acres. The building complex rises against the mountain. The whole temple is divided into five open courtyards: Puyuan Jingyuan, Jialing Lecture Hall, Ziyan Huiyuan, Guxiang Zen Courtyard and Fuquan Tea House. It has seven courtyards, five halls, three halls, two pavilions, two towers, five pavilions, and more than a thousand ancient and famous trees. It is one of the largest temples restored in the Buddhist community of Hangzhou.

Yongfu Temple, praised as the first blessed place in Qiantang, is hidden under the Shisun Peak to the west of Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou, about 200 meters away from Lingyin Temple. It has a history of more than 1,600 years since the opening of the mountain by Master Huili in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. After several renovations, it was officially opened to the public in 2005. The name of the temple, "Yongfu," means "praying for the gospel and blessings, eternal happiness and peace." It is hidden under the Shisun Peak, accompanied by mountain rocks and singing along the clear spring. It breaks the traditional central axis system of temples. The five independent and open courtyards are Puyuan Pure Courtyard, Jialing Lecture Courtyard, Ziyan Wisdom Courtyard, Guxiang Zen Courtyard, and Fuquan Tea Courtyard. The seven-entry, five-hall, three-hall, two-pavilion, two-building, and five-pavilion building complex is built on the mountain, with a staggered layout. Although these courtyards are not directly connected, they are ingeniously integrated into the surrounding green tea garden environment and more than a thousand ancient trees through the response between buildings and the relationship between the ups and downs of the terrain. It is one of the largest temples in Hangzhou. Walking into Yongfu Zen Temple is like being in the quiet and solemn atmosphere of nature, away from the hustle and bustle, looking for the most peaceful feeling in the depths of your heart, connecting with Zen, and living in harmony with nature. This temple, which integrates the style of Jiangnan gardens and Buddhist cultural architecture, retains the style of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty to a great extent in every Zen courtyard, every corridor column, eaves beam, every stone lampstand, bridge, and other details. It is known as "the most beautiful temple in China." When you come to Hangzhou, you must go to Yongfu Zen Temple for an in-depth experience.

I never thought I could capture such a beautiful Tyndall effect in Hangzhou! Yongfu Temple is located in the Lingyin Scenic Area and has a history of over 1,600 years. The temple is built on a mountain, and the red maple trees in autumn make it look like a painting. The Mahavira Hall offers a great view of West Lake. 🎫Tickets: Feilai Peak ticket: CNY 45 (visitors with a Hangzhou Park Card do not need to pay). Tickets for Yongfu Temple and Taoguang Temple are included. If you have time, you can visit both. 🚗Transportation: 1⃣️Take bus No. 7/407 to Lingyin Temple Bus Stop, then walk to the entrance of Lingyin Temple and buy a ticket to enter. 2⃣️If you drive, you can navigate to Feilai Peak Parking Lot🅿️ 📷Best time to shoot: 8:00–9:30 You can wait until 8:30, when the light is perfect!

If you've been to Lingyin Temple and Faxi Temple, you definitely can't miss the autumn scenery at Yongfu Temple. It's right next to Lingyin Temple, in the same Feilai Peak Scenic Area, just a few hundred meters away. The maple leaves have already turned red in December, painting the temple in colors. Unlike ordinary temples, each hall in the temple is not on a vertical line, but on each slope. You can also see West Lake from here. Capture the most beautiful door, the first blessed place in Qiantang, this door, the second door after entering, then turn around and take a picture from the inside out, is the best. There are really a lot of people, so it's still recommended to come early in the morning, otherwise you won't be able to take good photos.

Hangzhou West Lake Tour ☆There is a large area here where you cannot take a taxi. You can only go around the lake, take a bus or take a boat. It also requires a certain amount of leg strength to walk to the West Lake and enjoy the lake scenery☆ Lei Feng Tower 🐱Sorry, there were too many people and I didn’t go. 🐱 Lingyin Temple 🫠It is highly recommended to come here and feel the baptism of the Buddha. The ticket to the park is 45 RMB, and it is 30 RMB to enter the Lingyin Temple. Photography is prohibited in the hall. You can feel the great sense of compassion when you walk in. People with faith recommend that you must come here when you come to Hangzhou🫠 Because the Lingyin Temple park is called Feilai Peak, there are many large temples to visit. If you find walking tiring, you can pay to take a cable car up the mountain, or take a shuttle bus up the mountain, but you still have to walk inside the temple by yourself. There are stone Buddha statues, Yongfu Temple, Taoguang Temple, etc. at Feilai Peak... These points do not require any expenses, but will shorten the life of your legs. Come on, challengers! 〈When God sends a great man to this place, he must first make his muscles and bones suffer and his mind work hard〉 The first day was like this. I returned to the hotel and was glued to the bed, unable to move. *The next day, I continued to challenge the inner lake of West Lake. I referred to the suggestions of many trip netizens and checked it myself. In the morning, I took a taxi to West Lake-Quyuan West Lake Exit 3. You can get there from here. You don’t need to change buses or walk a lot, which will save you a lot of life* Walk along the lake, the goldfish tank of Lianyu Hotel, and then walk down and you will see a West Lake boat ride near the Sino-US Friendship Well. I walked down here first and then circled back because I was attracted by a Guozhuang. It costs 10 yuan to enter. There is no organization or necessity inside. Those who are bored can spend money to walk around. After visiting Guozhuang, experience the fun of taking a boat. You can take a boat from Quyuan to Huagangguanyu. After going around a large area nearby, you will reach a Su Shi Museum near Nanshan Road, as well as a very long Su Causeway. If you don’t finish the journey, you can pay for a shuttle bus. Your legs are already tired, so you can take the bus back to the hotel to continue lying down.

I still had round-trip train tickets available, so I chose Hangzhou without hesitation. I went to see the actual scenery just for the famous photo of Yongfu Temple. 2️⃣ I was lucky. Although others arrived there at 7 or 8 o'clock and took beautiful photos of the empty space, considering the time I spent rushing there from Shanghai, I arrived at the entrance of Yongfu Temple at 9:45 and took a check-in photo of the gate with a little sunshine. I was already very satisfied and grateful. At this time, some people couldn't take empty shots, but it was already pretty good compared to the crowd later. 3️⃣ Yongfu Temple is very quiet. The maple trees along the way are in rows and patches. They are rich in colors, including red, yellow, orange, and gradient colors. It is quite beautiful! Similarly, I feel that the beautiful scenery captured by the camera is not as beautiful as what I see with my eyes. 4️⃣You can see a "Cibei" coffee shop on the right hand side after entering the second door. Many people buy a cup of coffee and take photos to check in. I also bought a cup, but did not check in at the door. I took a few photos where there were maple trees. 5️⃣Climb up the stairs and visit several halls along the way to pray. I sat in the last hall for a while and felt the tranquility. Then walk back slowly. 6️⃣The high-speed train at 7:32 in the morning and the return ticket changed from 5:34 to 5:11 in the evening, the whole day is still very leisurely. Arrived at Lingyin Temple at 9:30, and started walking back out of the scenic area at 1 o'clock. Walked to Quyuan Fenghe, and entered through Gate 3. The famous maple tree there had no leaves. Then continued walking to Huanglong Cave and took the subway back to Hangzhou East Station. There was still some extra time to sit at the train station for a while. The happy 🥳 day ended happily like this. ‼ ️Tips: Homework before going out ✅Check the travel route on the map ✅Check business hours and whether to make an appointment in advance to avoid wasted trips ✅When you go out, remember ♥️Safety first♥️
