Lingfeng Hill

Lingfeng Hill

The Lingfeng (Chinese: 灵峰) or Lingfeng Hill (灵峰山), is a hill located in Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province, People's republic of China.

Introduction

It's partially located both in the Yuquan Campus, Zhejiang University, and the Botanical Garden, and is very close to the famous West Lake.

"Ling" (灵) here means "clever/smart", and "feng" (峰) means "peak" in Chinese. The hill is very famous for its plum blossoms (Ume) in the early spring, so there's a phrase namely "Lingfeng Tanmei" (灵峰探梅), which literally means "exploring the plum blossoms on Lingfeng Hill (in early spring)".

The Zhejiang Institute of Modern Physics, a research institute for theoretical physics, is just located on the beautiful hill.
