Time to Inn

Putoshan is well off the foreigner travel path and information in English is limited. That the nearest train station is a few hours away in Ningbo only makes it more complicated. That’s why I was happy to find this homestay/hotel with its helpful English speaking owner “良筑”. I called and he added me on WeChat to give me advice and drop me pins (hint:the “south” bus station in Ningbo is adjacent to the train station, next to the taxi queue). He explained where the four main sightseeing spots on the island were and gave me advice about how to tackle them in a day. As for the hotel itself, perfectly fine: clean and comfortable and affordable. Only disadvantage is it’s about a 10-15 minute drive to the ferry building, about an hour walk. But it’s easy to catch taxis to the hotel and then 良筑 will drive you back to town (about 20 rmb each way). Also, immediately across the street is an enormous new Buddhist temple with a really beautiful interior that I would have missed seeing if I hadn’t stayed at this hotel. It needs at least an hour. The nearby town is small but has many seafood restaurants. All in all, if you’re a foreigner with limited Chinese ability hoping to visit Putoshan, then this is probably the right hotel for you as 良筑 will help you to plan and organize your visit. Plan to arrive by midday and stay for two nights. You can see it all in that time.

訂的是套房，外間一張雙人床，裡間一張上下鋪的小童床，佈置的温馨，衞生也很ok，關鍵是這兒離各個景區都很近，太棒了！女兒還發現了一本寫滿留言的筆記本，大家對這兒的評價都挺好的，明年來舟山，我們應該還會選這家～

很幸福💗能住到性價比這麼高的民宿 老闆娘很漂亮很周到 很貼心地提醒我不要落下保温杯 地理位置也很優越 離觀音聖壇和朱家尖碼頭都很近 附近500米的地方也有很多大排檔 還吃了當地很紅的阿傑麪館 很好吃 很好玩 很感恩在舟山的這次旅行 下次有機會還是會入住時光小駐的
