Fēi lái fēng (Peak Flying from Afar) and Ling Yin Temple (Soul's retreat Temple)
According to the record of Lingyin Temple, early in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (317-420 AD), the Indian Monk Hui Li came to Hangzhou and climbed the hill. On seeing the spot, he exclaimed, That's the peak on the vulture's hill at Mid-Tianzhu, whence has it flown here? Hence, the peak got the name Peak Flying from Afar. In 1681, Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty wrote the three characters Fēi lái fēng (Peak Flying from Afar) inscribed on the stone cliff.
Lingyin Temple was first built in 326 AD by the eminent Indian monk Hui Li. With its imposing and magnificent architectural structures, the Temple has remained one of the ten largest Zen Buddhist temples in China. The Temple consists of the Heavenly Guardian Hall, the Hall of Mahavira (Great Hero), the Hall of the Buddha of Medicine, the Hall for Five-Hundred Arhats, the Sutra Repository etc.
Authentic CHINESE FOOD in the TEA CAPITAL OF CHINA + Lingyin Temple | Hangzhou, China
After spending the morning exploring the beautiful West Lake, my second day in Hangzhou continued as my friend Charlie and I set out to eat some delicious local food.
We made our way to the Green Tea Restaurant, which is located inside a green tea plantation in the mountains west of West Lake. The restaurant sits on top of a pond!
After taking our seats, we were served some green tea. They don’t use a traditional menu; instead, you order your food through WeChat!
The restaurant looks like a traditional house. The tables are separated from each other. From my table, I could look out at the koi pond!
The green tea was the best I’ve ever had. While I waited on our food, I visited the kitchen, where I could see the cooks preparing dishes in large pots.
Back at our table, we had some tender, juicy, and fatty pork cooked with sake. There was so much meat and the flavors complemented each other well. It was caramelized on top, which gave it a crispiness. It was so buttery and fell apart in my mouth!
Next was a sour fish soup with mushrooms and bamboo shoots. There was also some ginger, which gave it a nice kick, while the bamboo gave it a good crunch. There were also pieces of fish throughout. I loved the slimy consistency!
Then, I went with a cabbage dish. It was very refreshing and had a little bit of spice to it!
After that, we went with some shrimp, which were very fresh and had a viscous honey sauce on it. I liked it with the vinegar and the tea sauce! It had a plain flavor, but it felt really healthy!
Then I tried the pork belly and chased it with the green tea. It was fantastic! The best pork belly ever with the best green tea ever!
Next was a dessert called the Bread Temptation. It had some icing on top, which seeped into the bread. I’m not a sweets guy, but it was amazing!
What an incredible meal in such a beautiful setting! Our bill came to 245 Yuan, or about $35.60 USD. The quality of the food, plus the amazing atmosphere, was totally worth it!
From there, we visited the nearby tea plantation. There, they make dragon well green tea. From there, we headed to Lingyin Temple or the Soul Retreat Temple, which was built 1,600 years ago by a monk from India.
We headed up to a hill where Buddha statues are carved into large rocks. They date back to 951 AD. There were 3 Buddhas above me. Inside a nearby cave is a monk’s stone bed, which you can touch 3 times for good luck with money!
There are lots of carvings throughout the area, including some statues in a cave that are missing their heads. They were defaced during a period when the emperor was against Buddhism. Further inside are 18 more statues, including Buddhas from the past, present, and future.
My favorite carving was carved into a rock about 20 feet off the ground. It was so cool and reminded me of a place I visited in Sri Lanka.
There was also a stone pagoda, which is where the monk’s ashes were placed. There was also a Buddha that was carved by the Mongolians. Rub his foot 3 times for good luck!
Inside the third cave is a female Buddha statue there called Goddess of Mercy. There’s also a small hole in the ceiling known as the cave that goes to heaven.
This whole place was unreal. There were Buddhas everywhere. Among the carvings in an open, outdoor area was the largest Laughing Buddha in China. From there, we arrived at the temple, which is 1,600 years old. Inside is an 800-year-old statue from the Song Dynasty!
You can light three incense, bow three times, and leave them as a sign of worship. Inside the main hall is a huge Buddha. There were monks humming and praying inside. There’s a 30-foot-high Goddess of Mercy statue as well!

Ling Yin Temple 灵隐寺 Hangzhou Scenic Area with Buddha Rock Carvings
We were in Hangzhou! Here at the famous Ling Yin temple. The monastery is the largest of several temples in the Wulin Mountains (武林山; Wǔlínshān), which also features a large number of grottos and religious rock carvings, the most famous of which is the Feilai Feng (飞来峰; literally: the peak that flew hither).
According to tradition, the monastery was founded in 328 AD during the Eastern Jin dynasty (265–420) by an Indian monk, named Huili in Chinese. From its inception, Lingyin was a famous monastery in the Jiangnan region.[1] At its peak under the Wuyue Kingdom (907–978), the temple boasted nine multi-story buildings, 18 pavilions, 72 halls, more than 1300 dormitory rooms, inhabited by more than 3000 monks. Many of the rich Buddhist carvings in the Feilai Feng grottos and surrounding mountains also date from this era.
During the later Southern Song dynasty (1127–1279), the monastery was regarded as one of the ten most important temples of the Chan sect in the Jiangnan region. However, its prominence has not saved the temple from marauders. It has been rebuilt no less than sixteen times since then. The current buildings are modern restorations of late Qing (1644–1911) buildings.
During the Cultural Revolution, the temple and grounds suffered some damage at the hands of Red Guards. However, they escaped large scale destruction partly because of the protection of Premier Zhou Enlai.
Today the temple is thriving as a destination for both pilgrims and tourists. It is regarded as one of the wealthiest monasteries in China, and regular pilgrims have included former paramount leader Deng Xiaoping.
