Zita Chen
★★★★★7 years agoThis is my favorite spot In hangzhou. The temple itself is quite large. And walking around is also very pleasant. Next time consider stay at Aman hotel.

★★★★★9 months ago這個景區包含了凌雲禪寺，飛來時景區、永福寺、韜光寺。 遊客最喜歡的第一名就是靈隱寺，很多遊客是來這邊參拜順便遊玩…….有某些遊客會到永福寺參觀，個人覺得永服飾才是這個景區最美的地方，這個景點幽靜甜美令人舒服。
