If you're visiting Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou, there's another temple nearby that I really recommend: Shang Tianzhu Faxi Temple — 上天竺法喜寺. Personally, I think this was one of the most beautiful temples we visited in Hangzhou. Yellow temple walls. Dark tiled roofs. Red lanterns. Trees and mountains surrounding everything. And because the temple is built upwards along the hillside, every time you climb another set of stairs, you discover another courtyard or building above you.
