I think the reason why more and more young people have favored our temple in recent years, I think it is mainly because of the ancient trees and antique colors of our temple, and then the beautiful structure of the hall, and our cultural corridor is scattered, (around) closely connected to the natural environment, architectural style (characteristics), so they like to come and take pictures.

【Commentary】Faxi Temple, formerly known as Shangtianzhu, is a thousand-year-old temple that was built during the Five Dynasties Later Jin Dynasty. During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, Shangtianzhu was renamed Faxi Temple and is still used today. In random interviews, many citizens said that they chose temple tours to a large extent because they read the recommendations of social platforms, and secondly, temple tours can also reduce the pressure and troubles caused by work and life on weekdays to a certain extent.

Come to play with my family, the first time I came by myself, quite quiet (is it possible that there are some troubles in life, you think it will be much less to walk around the temple) Yes, yes, this is also possible.

Jiangxi tourist Ms. Wu

Because I think Hangzhou itself is a very romantic city, first of all, the environment is very beautiful, and Hangzhou people are also very kind and kind to outsiders, so I still like Hangzhou, such as West Lake, Lingyin Temple, Faxi Temple, we all come to take a look.

【Commentary】Master Lishan said that the care of this ancient magnolia will continue as usual, especially before the flowering period, and properly arrange staff to watch over the buds to prevent squirrels from nibbling.
