A·JIE

Ajie Restaurant, in fact, I checked this restaurant myself before going to Putuo Mountain. The reviews are really high, and the price is also acceptable. That day, when our family of three arrived at the B&B, it happened that this restaurant was just a few steps away from the back door of the B&B where we stayed. The boss saw us going out to find food at the door and said, come in and eat, our prices are not expensive, and we won’t charge you a penny if it’s not delicious. We thought about walking around to see if there was anything else to eat. After walking a few steps, there were many women soliciting customers on the road. We said we had eaten, but they still chattered and chased us for nearly 50 meters before we got rid of them. I really hate this. Later, I thought about going to Ajie’s house for dinner. On the one hand, it rained in Putuo Mountain on the night of October 16, and on the other hand, I was tired. I didn’t want to leave after driving for more than 4 hours in Shanghai. 2 adults and a child ordered 4 dishes. I really didn’t regret eating here. Chef Ajie’s cooking is so delicious. It’s just enough to eat and it’s economical for only 130 yuan. I can eat both meat and vegetables. I will come again next time. Please look at my photos specifically, they are taken of the real thing.

Putuo Mountain Two Days and One Night Super Practical Guide (including transportation, accommodation, and food) 🙏Putuo Mountain is a supreme holy place in the hearts of many Buddhists, especially the people of southern Fujian. Every year, countless people go to Putuo Mountain to worship. As the dojo of Guanyin Bodhisattva, it is not only a pure Buddhist holy place, but also an excellent tourist attraction. Whether you believe in Buddhism or not, it is worth a visit. ❗Putuo Mountain Pre-trip Preparation❗ 🚌Transportation: 1⃣️External transportation: The train can go to Ningbo Station, and the plane can go to Ningbo Lishe Airport or Zhoushan Putuo Mountain Airport (this year's air tickets are cheap, it is recommended to fly directly to Zhoushan). From Ningbo Airport, there is an airport bus directly to Zhujiajian Wharf, 70 yuan/person, and the journey takes about 2 hours. From Zhujiajian Wharf to Ningbo City (South Station), you can first go to Zhoushan Putuo Center, and then buy a bus from Ningbo South Station. There is a bus every 15 minutes. From Zhujiajian Wharf, it takes 1 hour to get a bus. 2⃣️Transportation on Putuo Mountain Island: The boat ticket from Zhujiajian Wharf to Putuo Mountain and the entrance ticket and cableway ticket of Putuo Mountain can be booked in advance on the "Putuo Mountain" official account. From September 18, you must make an appointment in advance on the official account to go to the island. The transportation on the island is mainly walking. There are shuttle buses between the main attractions. The tickets range from 5 to 10 yuan. You can scan the QR code behind the seat to pay on the bus. 💰Tickets: The entrance ticket of Putuo Mountain is 160 yuan/person (140 yuan/person in the off-season), and various certificates are discounted. The one-way boat ticket from Zhujiajian to Putuo Mountain is 30 yuan/person. Puji Temple incense and flower coupons are 5 yuan/person, Huiji Temple incense and flower coupons are 5 yuan/person, Fayu Temple incense and flower coupons are 5 yuan/person, Zizhulin Nanhai Guanyin is 6 yuan/person, and incense and flower coupons can only be purchased in cash. It is recommended to prepare change in advance. 💡Itinerary: 🔆Two days to quickly view the main attractions D1: Arrive at noon, arrange Puji Temple and Zizhulin in the afternoon, and recommend Ajie Specialty Seafood Restaurant (Putuoshan Branch) for dinner D2: Go up Foding Mountain by cable car, visit Huiji Temple, walk along Xiangyun Road to Fayu Temple, and return 🔆Three days to visit the whole island D2: After visiting Fayu Temple, continue to Fanyin Cave and Shancai Cave, and go to Xitian Scenic Area in the afternoon D3: Arrange Luojia Mountain in the morning and return in the afternoon 🏨Hotel recommendation: Putuoshan is still doing a relatively complete tourism now, with many star-rated hotels. Of course, you can also choose a more down-to-earth B&B. B&Bs are mostly concentrated in the Meichen Road area, close to the Financial Street, about 10 minutes walk from the pier and about 10 minutes walk to Puji Temple. B&Bs generally provide pick-up and drop-off services, pick up your luggage at the pier, etc. B&Bs are recommended for those with a low budget and no high requirements for accommodation. Simple, clean and private bathrooms are fine. 🍴Food recommendations: In addition to the vegetarian restaurants in the three major temples, there are also many good choices around the financial street and the B&B area. (The vegetarian restaurants in the three major temples are not open yet). If you want seafood, you can choose Ajie Specialty Seafood Restaurant (Putuoshan Branch) on Meichen Road, which is more cost-effective. 🙏The Minnan people say: If you worship, you will be blessed. May the Bodhisattva bless you and make your wishes come true! #Putuoshan must-see scenic spots #Putuoshan #Zhoushan travel guide
