Feilai Feng ('Peak Flying From Afar') is a 168 m limestone outcrop next to Lingyin Temple containing 335 Buddhist stone carvings dated AD 951 (Five Dynasties) to 1342 (Yuan), the most concentrated collection of Buddhist rock art in southern China. The famous chubby Maitreya Buddha sculpture (1000 AD) on the cliff base is one of the canonical photo spots in Hangzhou. The Yuan-dynasty Tantric carvings (Vajra figures, Indian motifs) are unusual for the Jiangnan region. Combined ticket with Lingyin Temple ¥75 (Feilai Feng ¥45 standalone, but you almost always do both together). Allow 1.5-2 hours for the cliff loop. Best paired with Lingyin Temple (90 min) for a half-day combination. Easy buses from West Lake: 7, 7K, Y2.

飞来峰造像群是江南最大的佛教石刻群！五代到元朝跨度。绕灵隐寺东侧爬山道，整个山体都是雕像。

Often missed alongside Lingyin Temple. The Yuan tantric figures are rare in southern China. Indian motifs visible.
