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