The Buddhist temples and Zen forests of Mount Putuo
Mount Putuo, one of the four sacred mountains of Chinese Buddhism and a famous site of worship for the bodhisattva Guanyin, is known as the 'Buddhist Kingdom in the Sea and Sky' and 'Holy Land in the South Sea.' It is acclaimed as the 'foremost serene place in the human world'.
There are numerous ancient temples on Mount Putuo, scattered throughout the mountains and forests, in caves, and along the paths, truly embodying the saying, 'Where the mountain bends, a temple hides; when the path ends, a monk appears'.
Puji Temple
With a long history and profound culture, surrounded by pagodas and pools, guarded by ancient trees, it is solemn and majestic, with a royal aura.
Fayu Temple
Built against the mountain, shaded by ancient trees, with dragon carvings on the walls and precious relics in the algae wells, it is quiet, elegant, and spiritually charming.
Huiji Temple
Atop the mountain, amidst dense forests, accompanied by strange rocks and occasional mists, it is a place where the fragrance of incense marks the pilgrimage, and the peak of the Buddha touches the sky.
South Sea Guanyin
With all the trees in full splendor, the glow of dawn reflecting off the waves, the treasured statue stands tall, with an imposing presence and a dignified Dharma appearance, showing compassion to all beings.
Baotuo Lecture Temple
Nestled between mountains and sea, with twin bays side by side, its towers soar into the sky, and its corridors follow suit, magnificent and splendid, spreading the Dharma and preaching the scriptures.
Due to time and physical constraints, I did not visit the Purple Bamboo Grove, the Mahayana Zen Monastery, or Mount Luojia. I will pay my respects next time.
It's so beautiful, the sea view is super shocking, the beach is particularly large, the waves are also large, and the sea is clearer! Children especially like it, and the seafood tastes great! The only fly in the ointment is that there are too many people during the May Day holiday, and the prices on the island are not cheap!
Convenient transportation, the ferry is almost always on the way, the bus on the island is also very convenient, the car scan code 5-10, the environment is quiet, clean, the beach is strange, the sound of waves, beautiful, the incense is very strong, it is worth to go again to taste
Putuo Mountain also comes once a year from Shanghai to Putuo Mountain. This kind of round-trip ticket is really cost-effective and convenient. I will continue to book next time. It’s just that the car number is sent too late every time. I hope that the car number can be sent early in the future.
The environment is poor and the number of types is small. [3][13] Putuo Mountain is one of the four famous mountains of Buddhism in China, the famous Guanyin Daochang, and one of the first national key scenic spots announced by the State Council. It is known as the "Haitian Buddha Kingdom" and "South China Sea Holy Land". The mountain is open to more than 40 monasteries, the largest are Puji Temple, Fayu Temple, Huiji Temple and Baotuo Temple.
There are crowds, dense people, the boat is not very comfortable, others are good, the seafood is good. Very good, come back next time, come, get better and better, the accommodation on the island is still quite expensive, parking charges 48 days.

Buddha Wonderland, Bodhisattva Daochang, a place definitely worth visiting once in a lifetime, wash your soul. Puji Temple, Guanshiyin in the South China Sea, Zizhu Forest, it is really not a loss to the Haitian Buddha Kingdom, the Holy Land of the South China Sea.
The scenery is beautiful, the cats are really huge, I like it very much, that is, the consumption is really high, you can bring some food to the island. If you live in Longsha Yisu, you want to go to Huiji Temple, you can take the bus directly to the bus terminal to the ropeway. There are few people there and there are no crowds, you can also go directly to the pier. At night, the Guanshiyin Theater of Putuo Mountain Theater can be shocked, you can consider taking a look.
