Lingfeng Hill

The Lingfeng or Lingfeng Hill , is a hill located in , 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'' here means ''clever/smart'', and ''feng'' means ''peak'' in Chinese. The hill is very famous for its plum blossoms in the early spring, so there's a phrase namely ''Lingfeng Tanmei'' , which literally means ''exploring the plum blossoms on Lingfeng Hill ''. 

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