Love, Luck & Traffic Jams: How to Visit Lingyin Temple Like a Pro (Spoiler: Take the Bus!)

#discoverchina #hangzhou Visiting Lingyin Temple on a Sunday morning is a magical yet bustling experience. The temple, renowned for its efficacy,especially in praying for love and marriage, attracts countless devotees, making it incredibly crowded. Due to traffic control after 8 AM,the only way to reach the temple is by taking the bus,as private cars face restrictions—so plan ahead! Pro tip:Before entering Lingyin Temple, you must first buy an entrance ticket for Feilai Feng,the scenic area surrounding the temple—scan it at the gate, and only then can you purchase the separate ticket for Lingyin Temple itself. Once inside, the temple grounds come alive with worshippers offering incense, the air thick with the fragrant smoke of joss sticks. The architecture is breathtaking, from the intricate wooden carvings of the Great Hall to the serene Hall of the Five Hundred Arhats,each detail reflecting centuries of Buddhist artistry.
