A sprawling complex with distinctly charming bright yellow and red interfaces.
Located at the foot of Huiri Peak, Jingci Temple is a charming complex that holds prestige as the second most renowned temple in Hangzhou.

Here lies one of the Ten Scenes of West Lake: an enormous bronze bell, coated in faded jade green, which produces a mellifluous ring every evening. Inscribed with the 68000-character Lotus Sutra, this impressive bell can be rung with your own two hands. Even if you do not visit in the evening, you can still encounter the powerful striking sound that induces a moment of tranquillity within you. This is an experience that words alone cannot convey. So what are you waiting for? Come visit the Jinci Temple today.
