A 15-meter-tall Buddha statue is housed in the main hall of the Dafo Temple. |
After sipping a cup of the famous Dafo Longjing tea, you can go to the Chongyang Palace to learn more about Taoism. Located at the Nineteen Peaks Scenic Area, the temple has attracted many famous Taoist scholars and poets.
You can also go to High Fashion Silk World Industrial Tourist Zone to learn about Chinese sericulture and the modern weaving industry. The Silk Culture Museum shows how silk products were made, right from the rearing of silkworms to spinning silk threads. Visitors can pluck ripe mulberries, grapes and vegetables, and see rapier looms and digital jacquard looms at workshops.
You can also buy pretty silk scarves, bed sheets and quilt covers with elegant designs at souvenir stores.
