Lingyin Temple, Buddhist temple in Xihu District, Hangzhou, China

The temple contains multiple halls positioned along a central axis, including the Hall of Heavenly Kings and the Grand Hall of Great Sage.

Indian monk Huili established Lingyin Temple in 328 AD, and during the Five Dynasties period it expanded to house more than 3000 monks.

The temple maintains extensive Buddhist artifacts, ritual implements, and ancient artworks in its Cultural Relics Exhibition Hall for public viewing.

The temple operates daily from 7:00 AM to 6:15 PM, with an entrance fee of 75 yuan that includes access to both the temple and Feilai Peak.

The Grand Hall houses a 24.8-meter tall wooden statue of Shakyamuni Buddha seated on a lotus flower, surrounded by 150 carved Buddha figures.
