However, in the middle of summer, there are still many good things to look forward to, such as the blooming of lotus flowers!

In the West Lake of Hangzhou, the lotus blooming period is generally from mid to late July to early August, and when you see the lotus blooming "out of the mud but not stained, clear ripples but not demons", the viewer's body temperature seems to drop a little instantly.

Guoqing Temple was rated as "the least commercial temple in China", and it was the first sect of Sinicized Buddhism, and the Tiantai sect of Japan, South Korea and some countries in Southeast Asia worshiped Guoqing Temple as its ancestral garden.

The gable wall of the temple stretches in dappled light and shadow, and every tile, grass and tree tells a story of ancient times. There is no excessive commercialization here, only the most primitive and pure religious atmosphere and natural landscape.

Every corner of Guoqing Temple reveals the weight of history and cultural heritage, and it is a good place for people to get away from the hustle and bustle and purify their souls.

"The shoes are broken, the hat is broken, and the robe on the body is broken", the image of Jigong is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. But when it comes to Jigong, most people will only think of the Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou, not Taizhou.
