Does Lingyin Temple sell milk tea? Response from West Lake Scenic Area
Recently, "Lingyin Temple has produced milk tea" has become a hot topic on Weibo, and many netizens have posted "Lingyin milk tea". According to media reports, this milk tea shop is not located inside the temple, but on the second floor of the ticket office at Feilai Peak in Lingyin Temple. The tea latte and specialty tea in the store are priced between 26 and 32 yuan.
It is worth noting that there is a small teapot at the top of each cup of the tea drink. There are 6 different shaped teapots in the store, although they look small, they can all pour water and be taken home after drinking. When the tea is served, there is also dry ice inside, which emits smoke and gives a feeling of ethereal air.

On September 7th, a Red Star News reporter contacted the Management Committee of West Lake Scenic Area in Hangzhou. The staff stated that milk tea is a product spontaneously sold by merchants around Lingyin Temple, and Lingyin Temple does not sell milk tea. "There are fixed stalls and shops at the entrance and exit of Lingyin Temple, where creative products from Lingyin Temple can be sold. As long as they are legal and compliant, there is no problem, but the temple will not participate."
According to a financial report from Xinhua News Agency, @ Lingyin Temple responded that Lingyin Temple has never entrusted any enterprise or individual to produce or sell food and beverages in the name of Lingyin Temple, and Lingyin milk tea is purely a personal act of the merchant.
