Mount Putuo, a sacred place of Buddhism, a pure land on earth. Stepping onto this island is like entering a secluded fairyland. The mountains are lush, the sea is clear, ancient temples are hidden away, and the sound of bells and chimes cleanses the soul. Walking along the paths of Mount Putuo, with towering ancient trees on both sides and the fragrance of flowers in the air, one may occasionally see a devout pilgrim, holding scriptures and praying silently. Between the temples, incense curls, and the statues of Buddha are solemn, inspiring awe in the hearts of visitors. The waters of Mount Putuo are clear and transparent, and the beaches are fine and soft. Standing by the sea, listening to the waves hitting the rocks, watching the seagulls soar in the sky, one's mind naturally broadens. As the sun sets, the afterglow sprinkles on the sea surface, the sparkling waves are overwhelmingly beautiful. The night on Mount Putuo is even more peaceful. Moonlight spills over the ancient temples, highlighting their ancient charm. The occasional sound of chanting allows one to feel a sense of tranquility that is detached from the mundane world. A trip to Mount Putuo is not just a physical journey, but also a purification of the soul. Here, people can let go of worldly troubles, meditate, and appreciate the beauty of nature and the profundity of Buddhism.

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.

It has been overcast and rainy in the Zhejiang and Shanghai area. I booked a ticket to Mount Putuo for the 24th, anxiously unsure of what the weather would be like. Fortunately, I caught the only sunny day in these days. Queuing for the boat and bus was pretty smooth, and I went straight to the destination. We didn't want to take the cable car to the top of the Buddha, so we walked down the trail instead. The scenery along the way was picturesque, with clear skies and fresh air. The first attraction was the Ancient Buddha Cave. Looking down, the temple looked brand new, so why call it the Ancient Buddha Cave? Curiosity led me down into the cave in the courtyard. Inside the cave was a Buddha statue and a spring. About twenty devout followers gathered in the cave, each taking spring water from the hands of the monks. I inquired and found out that the Buddha statue was erected at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, destroyed during the Cultural Revolution, and later reconstructed. The cave and the spring are quite old. Continuing downhill, we arrived at Fayu Temple, one of the three major temples of Mount Putuo. This was my favorite place. The towering ancient trees framed the yellow monastery walls, deep and serene. The adjacent beach was a great place to relax and play. Between the temple and the beach, there was a grassy area like a green carpet, with a pond embedded in it, where the reflections of palm trees and goldfish swam together in the pond. If Mount Putuo is a paradise on earth, this place could be considered the paradise of Mount Putuo. I wanted to take a bus to Puji Temple, but seeing the long queue, I decided to continue walking. Puji Temple was even more crowded, with everyone holding incense and worshipping in all directions. I was worried about blocking the path between the worshippers and the Buddhas. After that, I walked to the Purple Bamboo Forest but didn't enter. The mountain gate faced the sea, offering a broad view. Not far away was the statue of the South Sea Guanyin, which was not very interesting, and the 6 yuan ticket was not worth it. After walking all the way, 7-8 kilometers, more than 30,000 steps, I was really exhausted. Personally, I think the scenery from the cable car station to the Ancient Buddha Cave is the best. The trail down from Fayu Temple barely has a view of the sea, and it's crowded, so taking a bus is a better choice. A complaint about the transportation in Mount Putuo. The day we went was a weekday, and the driver said it's almost this crowded every day, and much more so on holidays. At several major stations, there were dozens to hundreds of people, and at small stations, it was impossible to get on because the buses were already full. It's clear that there are not enough buses, or the arrangement is unreasonable.

🙏🏻 Putuo Mountain Blessing Trip: A Two-Day Spiritual Purification Journey 🌟 Every year, I am drawn to the powerful energy of Putuo Mountain, which is not only a sacred place for blessings but also a paradise for spiritual purification. A brief one or two days is enough to immerse oneself in prayer, fasting, and meditation, experiencing tranquility and peace. 🌟 Transportation Guide ✈ Plane: It takes just over ten minutes from Zhoushan Airport to Zhujiajian Cihang Pier. 🚅 High-speed train: After arriving at Ningbo Station, take the bus directly from the adjacent Ningbo Bus Station to Zhujiajian Cihang Pier, which takes about an hour. 🚘 Self-driving: The pier has a parking lot, convenient for tourists driving themselves. 🚎 Island transportation: The island mainly relies on shuttle buses and walking, with bus services between temples, with ticket prices of 5 and 10 yuan respectively. 🌟 Ticket Information The total cost of the entrance ticket and round-trip boat ticket is 220 yuan.

The first stop is 1⃣ Huizhi Temple on Buddha's Summit Mountain, take the cable car up the mountain, with charming scenery along the way. After paying respects to the Buddha, you can enjoy a cup of coffee at Xide Coffee. Then proceed to 2⃣ Fayu Temple, next to which 3⃣ Shuangquan Zen Monastery is a great place for photo ops, especially the Buddha Heart Wall, which is very photogenic.

After dinner, you can leisurely walk back to the inn and buy some blessing bag pendants as souvenirs (the next day they can be blessed at the incense burner of Puji Temple). 🧡 Day Two Set out around 6 a.m. and walk from the inn to 1⃣ Puji Temple. There are breakfast shops along the way where you can try vegetarian noodles. Puji Temple is very popular, so it's recommended to go early to avoid the crowds. The walls on the left and right sides of the entrance of Puji Temple are hot spots for photo ops. Then head to 2⃣ Putuo Mountain Academy to write a postcard. After that, take the shuttle bus to 3⃣ Fanyin Cave, about a ten-minute walk away, where you can enjoy the magnificent seascape. 4⃣ Shancai Cave has a special custom where you can rub two 100-yuan bills on the stone tablet three times and then keep them in your wallet to be used when you return to Putuo Mountain the following year. Finally, go to 4⃣ South Sea Guanyin, light incense in front of the Buddha statue and walk clockwise around the statue to make three wishes. The Guanyin Temple and Purple Bamboo Forest are also located here, easily accessible by foot.
