I am going to talk about the famous Lingyan Mountain Temple in my city. It‘s a sacred place of Buddhist ['budist] with a history around 1600 years. The temple was built on top of the mountain. It's tiring to climb the mountain, buy still there are great many visitors coming to the temple every day.
Lingyan Mountain is well known throughout China for its beautiful scenery, it had offered tons of inspiration for many poets in the past. Standing in front of the temple, you can enjoy the great view of Taihu Lake and overlook the whole city. There are two stone lions guarding the temple in the front gate. Buddha statues situated in the front hall and main hall are well preserved in good conditions. People bring their presents like fruits and flowers to Buddha statues and pray for good wishes. You will also notice a pagoda [p?'ɡod?] standing in the middle of the temple. It's said if you walk in the clockwise direction for three circles around the pagoda, show your respect to Buddha, in turn, Buddha will bless you and your family. And can you believe that the entrance ticket cost is only one CNY? The ticket price has not changed since twenty years ago.
The first time I came to the temple just for lunch-- some vegetarian noodles. After lunch, I walked in the temple, and found it a wonderful place to spend time in. It's very quiet, far away from noises and crowds down the mountain. You can feel calm and peace there. ?Since then, i visit the temple almost every month.
語音反饋：
crowd /kra?d/
pray ?還是雙元音不夠飽滿 /ei/
梁簡文帝登琴臺詩：蕪階踐昔徑，復(fù)想鳴琴游。音容萬能膠春罷潮模，高名千載留。弱枝生古樹揣苏，舊石染新流健芭。由來迭相歡废睦，逝川終不收坷虑。
唐白居易游靈巖寺詩：高高白月上青林甲馋，客去僧歸獨(dú)夜深。葷血屏除能對酒猖吴，歌鐘放散只留琴摔刁。更無俗物當(dāng)人眼，但有泉聲洗我心海蔽。最愛曉亭東望好共屈，太湖煙水綠沉沉。
宋釋圓照靈巖山居頌：蕭灑靈峰上党窜，塵虛夏亦寒拗引。松夢敷翠嶺，殿塔聳云端幌衣。靈洞門高下矾削，山房路屈盤。其中實(shí)幽隱豁护，何必畫圖看哼凯。
明文征明靈巖絕頂望太湖詩：靈巖山正當(dāng)胥口，落日西南望太湖楚里。雙島如螺浮欲吐断部，片帆和鳥去俱無。閑論往事何能說班缎，不見高人試一呼蝴光。慎勿近前波浪恐，大都奇絕在模糊达址。
