Step into Dayongning Temple and be transported back to the Southern Song Dynasty! Nestled in Hangzhou, this 800-year-old imperial Buddhist temple was once a royal monastery of the ancient capital Lin'an. Stroll along the bluestone paths amidst weathered pagodas, soaking in the serene Jiangnan temple ambiance. Don't miss the millennium-old ginkgo tree - when autumn comes, the golden carpet of leaves will take your breath away. With devotees still chanting prayers amidst swirling incense, you can almost hear history whispering through the temple halls.
