Your Hangzhou city tour begins Fei Lai Feng, which loosely translates to Peak flown from afar. This pure limestone mountain stands apart from the surrounding sandstone mountains, containing many rock carvings alongside the mountain. The mountain's cave also shelters approximately 330 stone statues dating from the 10th to the 14th centuries. Located next to Fei Lai Feng is the famed Ling Yin Temple, a center for the study of Buddhism. The temple contains an important collection of Buddhist literature along with many other treasures.

The expert layout of the garden allows the visitor to enjoy a fantastic view of the center pond and the surrounding pavillions, regardless of where you stand in the garden. Hanshan Temple, also called Cold Mountain Temple, is considered one of the most famous temples in Chinese history for its bell rings and Buddhism culture.
