Fei Lai Feng or the Feilai Grottoes, also known as the Feilai Feng Caves and Feilai Feng Grottoes, amongst other names, are a stunning collection of Chinese Buddhist art. Carved into the limestone cliffs of the Feilai Feng, or “the Peak that Flew Here,” these grottoes are located near the Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China. They boast a rich array of statues and reliefs that date back to the 10th century during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. The grottoes are a testament to the skill and religious devotion of ancient Chinese artisans and have become a significant cultural and historical site.
