Lingfeng Hill

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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

It is partially located both in the Yuquan Campus, Zhejiang University, and the Botanical Garden, and is very close to the West Lake.[citation needed]

Ling (靈) here means clever/smart, and feng (峰) means peak in Chinese. The hill is known for its plum blossoms (Ume) in the early spring, so there's a phrase namely Lingfeng Tanmei (靈峰探梅), which literally means exploring the plum blossoms on Lingfeng Hill (in early spring).[1][better source needed]

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