Yangqi Chan Temple

Yangqi Chan Temple

Yangqi Chan Temple is a cultural tourism attraction.

The Yangqi Chan Temple in the Buddhist Area of the Oriental Culture Park was first built in the second year of the Jiading era during the Southern Song Dynasty (1209 AD), originally named "Chongfu Yang Temple." At that time, the temple was resplendent with Buddhist halls and enjoyed great popularity, even bearing an imperial plaque bestowed by Emperor Ningzong of the Song Dynasty. During the Ming Dynasty, it was renamed "Yangqi Temple." Through the vicissitudes of history, the temple was repeatedly built and destroyed. As the new century dawned and the country enjoyed peace and prosperity, the Hangzhou Oriental Culture Park Co., Ltd. invested hundreds of millions to renovate the temple, restoring the thousand-year-old sacred site to its former solemn and magnificent glory.

Yangqi Community: The Yangqi Community in Yiqiao Town was planned in May 2011 and officially established on March 27, 2012, following approval by the District Government (Document No. 41 [2012]). It is a newly built urban community. Located in the northern part of Yiqiao Town and adjacent to the AAAA-level tourist attraction, the Hangzhou Oriental Culture Park, the Yangqi Community consists of five residential areas: Sanshengyisheng Home, Jinyusanjian Garden, Oriental Culture Park Pedestrian Street, Sanjiang Mingyuan (Qijing Jiayuan), and Jinyu Lanting. To the east, it borders Xiangdong Village and the Oriental Culture Park; to the south, it neighbors Shanhou Village and the southern section of the Hangzhou Ring Expressway; to the west, it lies near the Pujiang Fishing Port—a sacred site of the Tang poetry origins along the Puyang River in eastern Zhejiang...
