Feilai Feng

2010-June-12 17:11:01

Feilai Feng or "the Peak that flew hither", also commonly translated as "Flying Peak", is located in front of the Buddhist Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou. 

Feilai Feng

Legend holds that the peak was originally from India (with some versions suggesting that it is Vulture Peak), but flew to Hangzhou overnight as a demonstration of the omnipotence of Buddha.

A large number of carvings exist all over the Peak. Within a main cave, where the bodhisattva Guanyin lies, there is a crack at the top of the cave that stretches up to the outside, known as the "one thread of heaven" (一线天).

Admission price: RMB 25 yuan
