I want to visit Mount Putuo once; it's getting better and better (travel guide included).

Come to Putuoshan and feel the Buddha's light. With a devout heart, silently make a wish. Looking forward to fulfilling that wish next time 🙏 This was my first time at Putuoshan. I looked at the route again and again, but I still missed a lot. This regret is also motivation for my next trip. 🙏The route for making a Buddhist offering without retracing your steps: Wharf 🚌 Puji Temple - 🚌 Cable car entrance - 🚠 Huiji Temple - 👟 Hai Tian Buddhist Kingdom (stairs) - 👟 Fayu Temple - 👟 Shuangquan Zen Temple (Buddha's Heart) - (🚌 To Shancai Cave, Fanyin Cave) - 🚌 Zizhu Forest/South Sea Guanyin - 👟 Wharf ✅ Travel Tips 🚘 Transportation: Drive to Zhujiajian Wugong Temple Wharf. Departure time from Ningbo is 6:30 AM, 1.5 hours. This is on weekdays, so parking is usually full. It's recommended to arrive earlier if possible. 🎫Tickets: Purchase tickets via WeChat, 🔍Putuoshan One-Code Pass, and get a round-trip ferry ticket for 220 RMB. Enter the park by scanning your ID card. 🚢Pier Hours: 7:00-17:30, please note the return time. 🚌Transportation: Primarily on foot! Buses cost 5-10 RMB, but queues are very long… 🏠Accommodation: If you have enough time, you can stay on the island. Prices are slightly higher than outside the scenic area, but you have more freedom within the scenic area, and there are fewer crowds in the early morning and late evening. ✅📷Recommended Photo Spots 1️⃣Three Good Stones: Getting Better and Better (directly in front of the pier), It's Good to Be Here (Puji Temple), It's Good to Be Up Here (Buddha's Peak, I didn't go) 2️⃣Buddha's Heart Wall: Located at Shuangquan Temple, 300 meters from Fayu Temple (I didn't go either, I rushed to catch a bus after leaving Fayu Temple). (Forgot) 3️⃣ Namo Amitabha Buddha: Puji Temple, taking photos through the round gate creates a more artistic atmosphere. 4️⃣ Guanyin of the South Sea claps her hands ✋, wishing you and Guanyin to reach an agreement (a small wish). ✅ Tips for Paying Homage: ✔️📷 Buddha Statue: The only Buddha statue on Putuoshan that can be photographed, it has been consecrated. ✔️🔥 Incense: Burning incense is prohibited inside the temple. You can only take three sticks of incense for free in the main hall, at the Guanyin of the South Sea, and at Puji Temple. Bring your own incense to other temples (incense on the island starts at 38 RMB). It's best to bring your own lighter (15 RMB each on the island). ✔️🚠 Cable Car: It's recommended to buy a one-way ticket up. After leaving Puji Temple, walk downhill to Fayu Temple. If you want a challenge, walking up the thousand steps from Faxi Temple will be very tiring… ✔️🍜 Food: There are many restaurants and snacks in the scenic area, but the prices are what you expect. Only Mixue Ice Cream maintains its original price, thumbs up 👍. ✅How to pray at the three major temples on Mount Putuo? 1️⃣Puji Temple: 1. Yuantong Hall: Primarily for making great vows 2. Wenshu Hall: Primarily for seeking wisdom 3. Puxian Hall: Primarily for seeking work and career success 4. Daxiong Hall: Primarily for seeking family peace 5. Dizang Hall: Primarily for seeking the health of elders 6. Pumen Hall: Prayers are always answered, especially effective for seeking marriage 7. Jialan Hall: Primarily for seeking wealth 8. Sanzhou Ganying Hall: Pray for family peace 2️⃣Fayu Temple (choose a few to visit): 1. Tianwang Hall: Pray to Maitreya Buddha upon entering, and to Weituo upon exiting 2. Yuantong Hall: Light incense 3. Daxiong Hall: Light incense 3️⃣Huiji Temple on Mount Foding: Guanyin Hall: White jade Guanyin statue for granting children, most effective for those seeking children.
