Lingshan Town · Nianhua Bay

Adjacent to the Lingshan Grand Buddha Scenic Area and located to its west, Lingshan Town Nianhua Bay features an ancient-style design with a Zen theme. The town is adorned with beige and white buildings topped with sloping blue-tiled roofs, and its doors, windows, and pillars are mostly made of wood. The area is dotted with small bridges, flowing water, and charming garden landscapes, making it perfect for a relaxing vacation and spiritual cultivation. Pour yourself a pot of clear tea, sip a fragrant cup, admire floral artistry, and bathe in pure fragrance.

During the day, you can visit structures such as the Zen Music Hall, Hundred Flowers Hall, Wonderful Sound Stage, Nianhua Hall, and Nianhua Pagoda, stroll through craft shops, and take a break to enjoy food and drinks. At night, capture the serene nighttime scenery of Nianhua Bay and watch the unique 3D water screen movies on Nianhua Lake.

Stepping into Nianhua Bay feels like entering a paradise where everything seems both dreamlike and real. There are eight scenic spots to explore within Nianhua Bay: Xushan Grand Zen Hall, Deer Valley, Zen Heart Valley, Ginkgo Valley, Bamboo Stream Valley, Cloud Gate Valley, Fragrant Moon Flower Street, and Youyou Fishing Port. Everyone can find their own Zen-inspired lifestyle here to nurture body and mind. Attend the “Thousand-People Morning Zen Session” at the Grand Zen Hall for spiritual enrichment; wander through the “One Flower, One World” Fragrant Moon Flower Street, lined with a hundred Zen-themed shops that will captivate and enchant you; or dine at the Youyou Fishing Port Wharf and experience the Zen philosophy that “only the fish knows the joy of swimming, and only the migratory bird understands the pleasure of flying.”

Nianhua Bay offers many accommodations with deeply Zen-inspired interiors, such as the Wuxi Nianhua Inn. Stay at one of the hotels in Nianhua Bay to deeply relax and treat yourself to a pre-sleep spiritual nourishment—scented baths, Zen music, and Zen spa treatments.
