It had lots of statues, was on a hill and had a sort of hanging temple similar to the monastery near Datong. Can anyone help with a name and location for this? Am back there on 4 Jan and would like to drive down and visit it. Had it written down but lost the book it was in. thanks Crosis

But it doesn't begin with "J". If it starts with "J" in Pinyin, I guess it should be "Jing Ci Temple(净慈寺)". It is located on Nanpin Hill(南屏山),very close to the [tcgurl=http://www.travelchinaguide.com/attraction/zhejiang/hangzhou/west_lake.htm]West Lake[/tcgurl] I am not sure if TCG has this attraction, just check [tcgurl=http://www.travelchinaguide.com/attraction/zhejiang/hangzhou/]Hangzhou Attractions[/tcgurl]

The one I am trying to remember is at least 200km from {Hangzhou,http://www.travelchinaguide.com/cityguides/hangzhou.htm} as I needed to hire a car for the day, but ran out of time. All the best crosis

Crosis, you may share some photos or reviews with us after coming back. Then I can know more about this scenic area.
