"Swastika Temple and Lotus." Top 5 Page for this destination Hangzhou Favorite Tip by Guantanamera

Hangzhou Favorites: 59 reviews and 72 photos

 
 

Fondest memory: Inside a gigantic swastika-shaped building at Lingyin Si, there reside many golden sculptures like the one you see here, which shows a man holding a lotus flower... Notice the woodwork of the window also echoes the swastika motif... In Buddhism, the swastika can represent resignation and has connotations of good fortune...

Review Helpfulness: 3.5 out of 5 stars
