Step into Fahua Temple and be transported back a thousand years! Nestled in Hangzhou's lush hills, this ancient monastery blazes with incense yet radiates serenity, where weathered yellow walls and upturned eaves showcase Tang-Song dynasty artistry. Come at dawn to sip Longjing tea under the millennium-old ginkgo tree, harmonizing with chanting monks and birdsong—a true 'Zen tea moment'. Don't miss the hiking trail behind the temple, leading to a panoramic vista of West Lake with Leifeng Pagoda piercing the skyline.
