ChinaScape - Hangzhou, Zhejiang

Worship

An offering is made just outside the renowned Lingyin temple founded by an Indian monk in the 4th century. At its peak, Lingyin Si was the predominant monastery in Hangzhou, housing over 3000 monks. Today you might see a monk among the 30,000 tourists, though it remains an active temple for worship and tourism.
