It is not only a treasure of natural scenery but also a sacred temple of faith in the hearts of countless people—Mount Putuo. Here, the sea and sky blend as one, the sounds of Buddhist chants linger, and every step on this land is a purification and rebirth of the soul. 📍 Specific Location Mount Putuo is located in Zhoushan City, Zhejiang Province, and is one of the four famous Buddhist mountains in China, known for the worship of the Bodhisattva Guanyin. It is considered one of the four major Buddhist pilgrimage sites in China, along with Mount Wutai in Shanxi, Mount Emei in Sichuan, and Mount Jiuhua in Anhui. 🌴 Attractions Introduction - **Puji Temple**: As the largest temple on Mount Putuo, Puji Temple attracts countless believers and tourists with its majestic architectural complex and strong religious atmosphere. The Multi-Treasure Pagoda and the Yuantong Treasure Hall are must-visit places. - **Fayu Temple**: Built against the mountain, the temple is surrounded by ancient and verdant trees, with a tranquil environment, especially the Nine Dragons Wall and the Grand Buddha Hall, which showcase exquisite craftsmanship and profound cultural heritage. - **Huiji Temple**: Located on the summit of Buddha's Peak, it requires climbing a thousand steps to reach, but the scenery along the way is picturesque, and the statue of Guanyin in the temple is particularly efficacious, making it a sacred place in the hearts of pilgrims. - **South Sea Guanyin Statue**: The 33-meter-tall outdoor bronze statue of Guanyin faces the sea and is backed by green mountains.

Mountain, Beach and Temple - what a place. A highly recommended place for 3/4 days tour. I took bus from Suzhou and got off at the Putuo bus station. Then took another tourist bus (red double decker) to the ferri station. Had a 15mins vessel (small ship) ride and finally arrived at the Putuo mountain. That was just at the wharf. Then took another tourist bus to Zizhulin Bamboo Forest where the Guanyin Pusa statue is located. Later walked to another place called `Unwilling to go` (please check online to know the interesting story behind this name). Next day, I visited all major three temples of Putuo - Puji, Huiji and Fayu temple. If you want to visit to Huiji temple, think twice. You have to take stiff stairs of about 2 km. It`s really a hard job than it sounds. Trust me! At the end of the day, I went to the beach and rest for a while. One thing, here hotels and foods are expensive. And in Putuo other than bus, there is no other option for journey. Either you walk or take bus. All over, it's a place to remember life time. #historicculture#naturalwonders#culturalattractions#hiking#beaches

This island is filled with temples and people come here to pray. Best day to visit is not on the weekend. We came on Thursday and it was already lots of people, but it was not packed and crowded. As we were leaving the island on Friday, people were starting to arrive and it was very crowded. To get around the island, it is not hard. There are shuttle buses that you can catch, and pay as you go. On the bus station, it tells you the next bus destination, so you won't be lost. Really enjoyed the view from the cable car where you can have a bird's eye view looking out the island. It is not a mainstream tourist destination, but it is still good to visit! #solstice #urbanexplorer #summervacation #beachvacation #chinatravel #summervacation#beachvacation#hikingtrails#urbanexplorer

As I climbed the stone steps to Puji Temple, monks chanted softly in the background, their voices echoing through the centuries-old halls. Devotees bowed in quiet devotion, and golden Buddhas glowed in the candlelight.

I took a quiet moment at Huiji Temple, listening to the rustle of trees and feeling an overwhelming sense of peace. Mount Putuo isn’t just a destination; it’s a place that stirs the soul.

Standing by the shore, distant islands appear and disappear in the mist where sea meets sky, while clouds stretch freely across the horizon. The waves crashing against the rocks sound like ancient Sanskrit chants whispering in your ear, instantly washing away the noise in your heart. Entering the temples, incense smoke curls between red walls and dark tiles. Monks move quietly before the Buddha, while devotees kneel in prayer, murmuring their wishes. The weathered inscription "Namo Guanyin Bodhisattva" on the wall grows more profound with time, silently carrying centuries of prayers. Pantuo Rock rests peacefully in the forest, having witnessed countless dynasties and pilgrims come and go. Its peculiar shape resembles a silent yet awe-inspiring dialogue between nature and Buddhist teachings.

Putuo Mountain Prayer Guide (for lazy people)|||Transportation Take a bullet train to Ningbo Station. Follow the signs to the bus station, which is next to the bullet train station. Buy a ticket to Zhujiajian for CNY 72. The bus ride takes about 2 hours. Travel route Day 1 Take a ferry from Zhujiajian Wharf to Putuo Mountain (about 10 minutes). Pray at Puji Temple first, then check in at the nearby cultural and creative stores, Xide Coffee, and Post Coffee. Stroll along Longsha Road. The air is fresh and the vegetation is lush, making it a great place to wander. Walk through a pedestrian tunnel to Longsha District. Stay overnight in Longsha District 1. It is convenient to go to Fayu Temple the next day. There is a bus stop for the cable car near Longsha District 1. I stayed at Shiyuan Homestay, which is an economical option. The room is clean and cost-effective. There are many stray cats near Longsha District. You can bring some sausages to feed them. Day 2 Take a minibus from Longsha District 1 to the cable car to Fayu Temple. Pray at the small temples along the way. Take a bus to Nanhai Guanyin. On the way back, visit Bukenqu Guanyin Temple, then go directly to the wharf to take a ferry back. It is recommended to buy a ticket to Ningbo Station at the wharf. You can find the ticket office on the right after entering the wharf. The whole trip is easy and relaxing, with no backtracking! Food: Zaozi Tree Vegetarian Restaurant is worth a try. The vegetarian food is really good, especially the fried lotus root slices. 👉🏻Special reminder: Don't buy incense at Puji Temple Station. It is twice as expensive as in the supermarket. It is recommended to prepare in advance and bring your own.
