Lingfeng Hill
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.
[edit] 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 at Lingfeng Hill (in early spring). [1]
The Zhejiang Institute of Modern Physics, a research institute for theoretical physics, is just located on the beautiful hill.
