Kun Tek NG
★★★★★6 months agoEarliest Buddhist grotto site 1000 years ago made of lime stone which is not native to hangzhou. The 300 over statutes carved on the rocks are tremendously amazing.

★★★★★Edited a year ago冷泉溪飛來峰！在靈隱寺廟在飛來峰的岩洞旁，如果想要進入靈隱寺，就必定會路經這些雕刻造像群，包括有飛來峰造像、慈雲岭造像、天龍寺造像等，要走完的話.建議請講解員.可以親眼所見數十個雕刻在山裡的佛像之外還可以聽一些故事，看到以前都是用手刻的都感到十分震撼.門票是兩段式.千萬不要丟了要不然就需要再買一次
