Yongkang Lingyan Scenic Area

　　   Yongkang Lingyan Scenic Area is one of the top ten most popular scenic spots in Jinhua. It is three kilometers away from Fangyan Scenic Area, and at the foot of the mountain lies the shimmering Lingshan Lake. The “World’s No.1 Cave Mansion” on the mountain connects north to south, spacious as a grand hall, warm in winter and cool in summer, making it a natural summer retreat. With a wealth of historical sites, it is widely renowned across Central Zhejiang.

　　   The Fushan Temple inside Lingyan Cave was first built in the fourth year of the Changxing era during the Later Tang Dynasty. Within the cave, there are structures such as the “Temple of the Heavenly Kings,” “Mahavira Hall,” “Guanyin Hall,” and “Kṣitigarbha Hall.” On the right side, the “Guanyin Pavilion” houses a four-faced thousand-armed Guanyin statue. The cave once housed the “Zhengxue Academy,” where literary figures such as Chen Liang and Zhu Xi of the Song Dynasty, as well as Tang Bohu and Zhu Zhishan of the Ming Dynasty, lectured, preached, and wrote their works. The area boasts rich cultural landscapes. Opposite the cave are the “Tiger-Taming Mountain,” “Goat-Horn Skyfall Waterfall,” and “Bamboo Forest Temple,” all featuring unique scenery. The scenic area’s ten major views each offer distinct beauty, captivating visitors and making it an excellent destination for Buddhist activities and sightseeing.
