Hangzhou, 杭州 - 净慈寺 Jìng císì (Chinese Temple)

Hangzhou, 杭州

This is 净慈寺 Jìng císì, a Buddhist temple rather a national key temple which you can find it at Nanping Hill. It is one of the jewels (the other is Lingyin Temple). It has a long history dating back to AD 954 when it was built by Qian Hongji (钱弘俶) of Wuyue Dynasty. The highlight of this temple is the Ten Scenes of West Lake and also note the Evening Bell Ringing at the Nanping Hill, in chinese, 南屏晚钟. This reminds me of a song famously sang in the 1960s called 南屏晚钟. Here is the youtube video for your preview:


我匆匆地走入森林中
森林它一丛丛
我找不到他的行踪
只看到那树摇风

我匆匆地走在森林中
森林它一丛丛
我看不到他的行踪
只听到那南屏钟

南屏晚钟随风飘送
它好像是敲呀敲在我心坎中

南屏晚钟随风飘送
它好像是吹呀吹醒我相思梦

它吹醒了我的相思梦
相思有什么用
我走出了丛丛森林
又看到了夕阳红
