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.

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

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.

Before the pandemic, I often traveled to Shanghai for work. Due to my religious beliefs, whenever I had a two-day break, I would take a train from Shanghai to visit Putuo Mountain. This time, it's been five years since my last visit. There's a new area called Longsha District which is quite nice—simple, cozy, and clean, with young owners hosting the place. However, the Nanhai Guanyin bus stop is under construction. My husband and I walked a total of 20,000 steps, revisiting and exploring the pier area. The vegetarian food is still delicious. I'm very happy to be able to come here again and take a stroll.

It is recommended to exchange small change at a bank near your home before traveling, the more the better. 【Buddha worship tips】 ① Buying incense in a temple is called "asking for incense". You have to buy the incense yourself, and cannot have others pay for the incense on your behalf. Three incense sticks represent an individual, six represent two generations, and nine represent praying for three generations. ② Hold the incense with your left hand, light the incense with your left hand, and insert the incense with your left hand. Your left hand is clean, so you cannot blow out the fire with your mouth. Use your right hand to gently fan out the fire. After lighting the incense, wrap your left hand around your right hand to hold the incense and raise it above your forehead. ③ When entering the temple through the side door, never step on the threshold. Boys enter the door with their left foot and girls enter with their right foot. When entering the hall, first worship the Bodhisattva and then worship other Buddhas in a clockwise direction. ④ When worshiping Buddha or Bodhisattva, add the two words “Namo” (mo) as the honorific title. Recite silently in your heart: Namo Greatly Compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva, male disciples, female believers, no matter where you are from or what your name is, I pray for your family to be safe and healthy, and for everything to go well. ⑤ The clothes you wear when worshiping Buddha should not be too revealing. Wear pants instead of skirts. Keep it simple, elegant and fresh. ⑥ After worshipping, walk around the incense burner and light the incense towards the Bodhisattva, then enter the temple. There are three doors. Pilgrims should enter through the left side door and exit through the right door. Do not go through the middle door. After entering the main hall, put your hands together and worship the Buddha, add the merits of rejoicing, and worship three times. Worship, offer offerings to the Buddha, take them home and share them with your family to get some blessings and spiritual energy.

Come as fate leads, arrive with your heart, a pure land, three sticks of incense, may all your wishes come true! Surrounded by sea on all sides, Mount Putuo hosts more than forty temples including Puji Temple, Fayu Temple, Huiji Temple, and Baotuo Lecture Temple.
