Hiking Trail at the An’yin Temple Ruins Park on the Southwest Slope of Linping Mountain, Hangzhou
An’yin Temple is located at the southwestern foot of Linping Mountain in Hangzhou.
It was first built during the Tang Dynasty and named An’yin Temple during the Northern Song Dynasty.
In addition to the ancient temple, Anping Spring is also famous far and wide.
Su Shi once visited here and left behind his poem “Inscription on Anping Spring.”
The “Xuetang Inkstone,” a national first-class cultural relic attributed to Su Shi, was unearthed here.
Lu You, Zhu Xi, Kang Youwei, and Yu Dafu
all visited this place and left behind their masterpieces. .
An’yin Temple was later transformed during a special era
into the Zhejiang Provincial Prison.
Fortunately, it has been restored and now showcases its original charm once again.
.
Here, there are four-century-old ancient trees lush and vibrant,
exuding an incredibly strong energy field.
Walking among the ruins,
one feels a sense of calm and peace.
This place is usually quiet,
making it an ideal spot for photographing traditional Chinese attire. .
