Discovering the Serene Beauty of Pháp Hỷ Temple in Hangzhou
A Millennial Legacy on Heavenly Pillar Hill
Nestled on Heavenly Pillar Hill, Pháp Hỷ Temple, also known as Faxi Temple or Thượng Thiên Trụ, stands as one of Hangzhou's most celebrated temples. It boasts a rich history spanning over a thousand years and is one of three remarkable temples gracing this scenic hilltop.
Getting There: Your Journey to Tranquility
Reaching this spiritual haven is easy! Simply hop on bus route 103 or 1314.
Admission: A Small Fee for Immense Peace
Entry to Pháp Hỷ Temple costs just 10 RMB. You can conveniently pay using Alipay right at the entrance. Upon payment, a QR code will appear, granting you access to the temple grounds. As a welcoming gesture, you'll also receive three incense sticks to offer.
Important Tips for Your Visit
- Opening Hours: During my recent visit, the temple was open from 6:30 AM to 6:00 PM. Bus 103 offers an early morning service; I arrived around 6:40 AM.
- Beat the Crowds: I highly recommend arriving before 8:00 AM. By the time I left around 7:30 AM, the temple was already becoming quite crowded.
- Combine Your Sightseeing: The renowned Lingyin Temple is located nearby. Consider visiting both temples in a single morning for a truly enriching experience!
