Introduction
Located at the foot of the Lingyin Hill northwest of the City, Temple of Inspired Seclusion (Lingyin Temple) was built in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (317-420). The 33.6-metre-high main hall is a masterpiece of ancient buildings with one story and doubled eaves.
The two nine-storied octagonal pagodas in front of the main hall and the two stone towers containing the Buddhist sutras in front of the Lokapala Hall were all built in the Five Dynasties (907-960).
In the caves on the Feilai Hill, there are some 300 Buddhist stone carvings dating back to the Five Dynasties, the Song Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty. The elegant stone carvings are of high artistic value. |
