Lingyin Temple is one of the oldest and wealthiest Buddhist temples in China.The name "Lingyin" translates to "Temple of the Soul's Retreat.” Inside the Grand Hall of the temple sits a giant 24.8-meter (81 ft) tall Buddha statue, one of the largest wooden Buddha statues in China. It's covered in gold leaf and depicts Shakyamuni, the historical Buddha. Feilai Feng is famous for its over 300 stone Buddha carvings and other religious figures carved into the cliffside during the Song and Yuan Dynasties (10th–14th century). These intricate carvings are a highlight for visitors. Lingyin Temple is located near the Longjing Tea Plantations. Monks historically brewed Longjing tea, considered one of China’s most famous teas, as part of their spiritual practice.
