@禾肉/photo
As the largest temple among the three temples in Tianzhu, Faxi Temple It is over a thousand years old. The most lovely thing about Faxi Temple must be the word "happy": without a hint of aloofness, it vividly embodies the excitement of ordinary people in the secular world. The temple is not big, and the originally loose wood is connected through a mortise and tenon structure, making it look extremely solemn.
@禾禾, Traveling around Hangzhou
No more than Lingyin Temple, which is regarded as a holy place by a large number of tourists. Most of the people who come here are old Hangzhou people who speak an authentic dialect. The hustle and bustle of the past has gone, and now it is guarded by the bustle of visitors, but it has a bit more purity with the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers. If you come here in your spare time, you might as well sit for a while, quietly, relax your mind, and enjoy vegetarian meals here.

Previously, Faxi Temple launched a series of "cute temple peripherals", making this niche temple suddenly become popular. Canvas bags, amulets, and postcards are accompanied by hilarious Buddhist texts: "You are so awesome, I should love you", "Expect your urgency, you are destined to be single the day you are separated", "Salary and bonus will not be fixed" ...it sounds like a strong Hangzhou accent, which is very interesting~

"There is a strong spring atmosphere in Jishan Mountain in Yanyu, and summer dews condense in the pines while living in peace. Osmanthus rain falls under the eaves in autumn, and snow bells are heard on futons during the winter solstice."

Taizhou Linhai · Longxing Temple
Thousand-year Buddhist Zen Sound
Lingjiang River At the foot of Jinzi Mountain, the thousand-year-old temple within the ancient city wall is Longxing Temple. This is the place where people in Taizhou Prefecture have prayed for Buddha for thousands of years. Even the lay nephew (some say grand-nephew) of Master Kukai in "The Legend of the Demon Cat" also prayed here. Walking in the temple, the rising green smoke, every plant, tree, brick and tile in the courtyard is soaked with the Zen sound of thousands of years of Buddhism. It has a kind of compassionate spirit that can almost soothe the anxiety in your heart in an instant.

The Thousand Buddha Pagoda is currently the tallest ancient pagoda in Linhai and one of the only two Yuan pagodas remaining in Zhejiang. The outer wall of the pagoda has more than a thousand pieces. The Buddha bricks are breathtaking. Standing in front of the Thousand Buddha Pagoda, you can see the vast blue sky above your head, the green mountains behind you, and the fireworks in the old street not far away. The style of this place makes people forget the chaos of the world.
Wenzhou Wencheng · Anfu Temple
Thousands of sounds are silent here, but the sound of the bells and bells
The Northern Song Dynasty's "Taiping Huanyu Ji" said: "Nantian is one of the seventy-two blessed places in the world. Deep in the mountains, a flat area suddenly opens up, and it is high and vast. The scenery is picturesque, and there is nothing left to say about Taoyuan. "Anfu Temple is located in this blessed land - Nantian area. Looking at the temple from a distance, I couldn't help but slow down, and I was even reluctant to stir up the dust here with my steps. It can be best described as "everything is silent here, but the sound of bells and chimes is left".
Although Anfu Temple is hidden in the small mountain town of Wencheng, it is the most modern temple. Floor heating, remote Buddhist schools, etc. all make Buddhism no longer far away, but more approachable.Paying homage to the gods who live here, listening to the Buddhist sounds lingering here, and breathing in the wisps of sandalwood, your soul seems to be purified.
Pay homage to the gods who live here, listen to the Buddhist sounds lingering here, and breathe in every ray of sandalwood that can cleanse the soul. A bunch of herbs, a pestle and anvil, a piety, feel the compassion and wisdom of the Eastern Buddhist country; thousands of sutras, thousands of practices, thousands of rivers and moon seals, feel the joy, sacrifice and kindness of An Welfare.
JinhuaWuyi · Yanfu Temple
The most beautiful practice in the world
Located in Taoxi Town, Wuyi, known as the "Peach Land", Yanfu Temple has a magical power that makes people calm. It is the earliest and most complete Song-style and Yuan-style building in Jiangnan, and can be called a "living fossil" of Chinese traditional culture.
The famous ancient architecture couple, Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin, once visited this thousand-year-old ancient temple, which is as peaceful as ever, and wrote its architecture into "History of Chinese Architecture". The story of their relationship with Enfuji Temple adds a touch of romance to this ancient temple.
Yanfu Temple, which has been inherited for thousands of years, is waiting for visitors to have the most beautiful practice in the world. When the first ray of morning light pours down from the top of Yanfu Tower, the dazzling light blesses the land and water like the light of Buddha. Looking around, there are beautiful mountains and clear waters. Looking up at the temple, my heart is clear and clear. I happen to respond to the sentence "You don't need mountains to hide from the world, Buddhist monks are even busier now. If the Buddha wishes, visitors can stay in the Buddhist hall."
Hangzhou Gongshu · Xiangji Temple
Canal The first incense in Hangzhou
Outsiders may rarely hear about it, but in the prayer list of Hangzhou people, going to Xiangji Temple to burn incense is indispensable. Xiangji Temple was once a famous temple in the Hushu area of the Grand Canal. At that time, there was a lot of traffic on the Grand Canal, and Xiangji Temple was the only place where Buddhist believers in Hangzhou, Jiaxing and Huzhou came to go to Lingyin and Tianzhu to worship the mountains. It had a high status in the canal and Hangzhou Buddhist circles.

Whether you are wandering on a small steamboat in the canal or wandering in the alleys of Dadou Road Historic District, you will see the incense sticks in temples from time to time. When you hear the low voice of bells and chimes, is just like what is described in the couplet on a large archway in front of the temple: Incense lamps day and night, bells and drums morning and dusk, the scenery along the canal is still good; the wise eyes are candles, and the compassionate sails help drowning. The true nature of the world.
Zhoushan Putuo · Shengyan Temple
The highest temple in Qiandao, Zhoushan
On the top of Anqi Peak on Putuo Taohua Island, there is a Shengyan Temple. Compared with the popular Puji Zen Temple in Putuo Mountain, this place is even more otherworldly. Although Shengyan Temple is small in scale, it takes advantage of the mountain to dominate the sea. It is the highest temple in Zhoushan Thousand Islands. Stepping into the gate of the temple, you escape from the trivial world and enter a holy world.

The predecessor of Shengyan Temple was built in a natural stone cave at an altitude of 482 meters. It has a history of more than 400 years and is also called the "Anqi Alchemy Cave". According to legend, An Qisheng once lived in seclusion here to practice Taoism and refine elixirs to avoid the violent Qin Dynasty. Today, there is still a stone Buddhist niche built in the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty in the cave. Wait for a sunny day, climb up the stairs of Anqi Peak, sing joyfully all the way, and entrust your thoughts to the clouds in the mountains and the sea in the distance.
Lishui Suichang · Qianfo Mountain Future Temple
Buddha is a mountain, and the mountain is a Buddha
Suichang Qianfo Mountain has a deep connection with Buddhism in history. The famous painting monk Guan Xiu of the Tang Dynasty once lived in seclusion here for 14 years and completed the 18 Arhats picture. Not only are the landscapes here attractive, but what’s even better is that there is a magical natural mountain Maitreya Buddha in the Future Temple on the mountain. The Buddha statue is a hundred feet high, sitting east and west, wearing a cassock of natural vegetation, with its hands spread out to protect all living beings. The so-called "Buddha is a mountain, and the mountain is a Buddha" is indeed a magical creation of nature.
Picture @Suichang Tourism Committee
Zhu Huang in the Qing Dynasty wrote: "The stone Buddha sits high on Wanren Mountain, and the epiphyllum appears in Zhaoxi Bay. Even if the color appears in the sky, it only appears in the non-space and non-color space." The Zen state of Foshan is vividly depicted. In the early morning at Qianfo Mountain, you can listen to the Buddha's music, feel the freshness of the mountain, and experience for yourself the artistic conception of "the morning sun and sunset, the clouds and green pavilions, the rain and wind, and the smoke and waves painting boats" in Tang Xianzu's paintings.
