Hangzhou Oriental Culture Park is located in Yiqiao, Xiaoshan. It is 15 kilometers away from downtown Hangzhou and Xiaoshan urban area respectively. It is a cultural tourism area based on traditional culture.
The cultural park is divided into several parts, including the Confucian area, Buddhist area, and Taoist area. Although they are all artificial scenic spots, it is still a good place to visit.
At the park entrance, there is a huge sculpture of福星 and寿星. Entering, it is the manifestation of Guanyin in the Buddhist area. Around the artificial rockery, there are many statues of bodhisattvas and immortals. ‘The manifestation of Guanyin’ is a fixed program. It is performed at 9:00, 10:30, 13:00, and 14:30 every day (subject to the announcement of the scenic area). The holy statue of Guanyin rises to the top of the mountain, and the music fountain begins to perform. Holy water is sprayed from the pure vase in the hands of the bodhisattva. Devout men and women below rush to welcome it, presenting a spectacular scene.
Going further inside is Yangqi Buddhist Temple. On the underground palace square behind the temple, there is a statue of Sakyamuni Buddha presented by the Thai Buddhist community. The statue is inlaid with gems and other materials. It is the largest reclining jade Buddha statue in China.
After visiting the Golden Underground Palace of Wanfo Pagoda and continuing to go inside, you can climb the Sanjiang Pagoda to overlook the panorama of the cultural park and the surrounding urban scenery.Beyond the Sanjiang Pagoda, there are the Taoist area and Confucian area by Taixu Lake. There are also some antique buildings and stone carvings related to Confucian and Taoist cultures. A water art corridor can view the lake scenery.
After a simple look, you can return to the vicinity of the entrance via Taixu Bridge.
