Mount Putuo

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.
