Lingyin Temple

Lingyin Temple is located in a forest-covered valley, next to the Feilaifeng Buddhist statue. Scenic spots, grotto statues and temples that are still in use jointly present centuries of religious support and artistic exchange, but they belong to different spaces in terms of management. From the open-air statues to gradually entering the temple hall, you can better understand its historical level than just visiting the main hall.

Getting there

The roads in the scenic area may be congested, so it is recommended to use public transportation, and be aware that the entrance ticket to the scenic area and the admission to the temple are not the same.

Practical notes

Roads in scenic areas are often congested, so public transportation should be used first. There may be separate charges for admission to Feilaifeng Scenic Area, temples and nearby ropeways. When visiting, dress appropriately, observe photography restrictions, and arrive early to allow time for the walk between the statues and the temple.
