Mount Putuo travel guide is as follows: 1. Time arrangement: If it's just for worshiping Buddha, plus the journey, 3 days is enough. One day to go, one day to return, and one day in between to worship Buddha slowly. There are no particularly special scenic spots on the island. 2. Transportation: Mount Putuo is on an island, you can first take a long-distance bus from the passenger station at Nanpu Bridge to Zhoushan's passenger center, then take a taxi to the pier to take a boat to the island. 3. Worshiping Buddha: Half a day's time is enough, Puji Temple is the largest temple on the island. There are also Fayu Temple and the South Sea Guanyin. There are shuttle buses between temples. 4. Precautions: It's best not to take pictures of Buddha statues when worshiping, but you can take pictures of the South Sea Guanyin. Do not make more than three wishes, don't be too greedy. Dress modestly and not too brightly when worshiping Buddha, it's best to eat vegetarian food that day. Remember to light incense with your left hand and insert it with your right hand, do not step on the threshold when entering the main hall, men should step over with their left foot first, and women with their right foot. 5. Accommodation on the island: There are many hotel options, which are basically quite ordinary, and the better ones are indeed not cheap. 6. Dining: There is a commercial street with a lot of food, and the prices are quite reasonable.

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. It is the bodhimanda of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva and one of the four great Buddhist mountains in China, known as the 'Buddhist Kingdom on the Sea' and the 'Sacred Place of the South Sea', acclaimed as 'the most serene place in the world'.

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.

A pure land with three pillars of incense. When you think of it, you come to Mount Putuo. Putuoshan Scenic Area is located on the island, mainly consisting of Pujisi Temple, Huiji Temple, and Fayu Temple. Visitors need to take a boat to the island. Picture one is Guanyin's realm, not on the island but on Zhujiajian. If you arrange your itinerary, you can either go on the first day or the last day. We went on Monday and there weren't many people. There are many vegetarian restaurants on the island. Figure 9 is a guide that my friend found, and there is also the Jujube Tree Vegetarian Restaurant that many bloggers highly recommend. The taste feels average, maybe because personal tastes are different. When I went with two friends, they both said they were not used to it, but the service attitude was really good and enthusiastic. The entrance to their restaurant is not easy to find, so don't get lost because I also saw two restaurants with the same name outside, but they are fake. If you plan to go there, remember to wear comfortable shoes for walking. We walked a lot during the three days we were there, as there are no private cars on the island and you either have to take public transportation or walk. The weather forecast for Mount Putuo is very accurate, so you can check it before you go. It often rains there, so remember to bring rain gear. If you go to Zhujiajian, I highly recommend going to Ah Yong's food stall (they have two locations, both with equally delicious food). Their food is really tasty and cheap. The three of us ordered 67 dishes of seafood for only 200 yuan, and they even gave us a complimentary milk bun before the meal and a row of drinks after we paid. But the most important thing is that the food really tastes great, it's very delicious. This trip to Mount Putuo lasted for three days. While worshiping, I also appreciated their local customs. I also went to see Zhang Yimou's "Impression Putuo" with 360° rotating seats and 3D projection, which was very shocking. The plot was deeply moving. If you have time, I recommend going to see it. It's at the Zhujiajian Impression Putuo Theater. On the plane back home, I saw the whole sky above Mount Putuo covered in colorful clouds. It really felt like the Buddha's light was shining everywhere. If you feel suffocated by life or have a lot of thoughts and want to find a peaceful place, I recommend you go to Mount Putuo and feel it for yourself. Whisper your worries and troubles to the Bodhisattva in secret, only when you are alone can you become your true self.
