难 得糊 涂Putuoshan Scenic Area (located in Putuo District, Zhoushan City, Zhejiang Province) is one of China's four sacred Buddhist mountains, renowned for its worship of Guanyin Bodhisattva. It is a national 5A-level tourist attraction. Putuoshan Scenic Area is permitted. 1. Landmark of the Buddhist Kingdom by the Sea 33m Standing Guanyin Statue: Cast in imitation gold bronze, with her left hand holding a Dharma wheel and her right hand in the Abhaya Mudra (gesture of fearlessness), facing the sea, it is the most striking visual symbol of Putuoshan. The Unwilling-to-Leave Guanyin Temple: Originally built in the Tang Dynasty, it is the site of the legend of a Japanese monk leaving his image and building the temple. Together with the Purple Bamboo Forest and Chaoyin Cave, it forms the cultural origin of the "Guanyin Refuses to Leave" story. 2. Three Ancient Temple Clusters Puji Temple: The main temple on the mountain, its 8.8m seated Vairocana Guanyin statue in the Yuantong Hall is the most popular; the Haiyin Pond in front of the temple is covered with lotus in summer and snow in winter, and the Yongshou Bridge features 40 stone lions in various poses. Fayu Temple: A nine-tiered temple built into the mountainside, with the Nine Dragons Hall featuring a Ming Dynasty glazed tile roof. The Imperial Stele Hall and Jade Buddha Hall cascade down the mountainside, interspersed with ancient ginkgo and dragon-phoenix cypress trees. Huiji Temple: Located atop Foding Mountain, it requires a cable car or 1088 stone steps to reach the top. Behind the temple, the "Carpinus" is a national second-class protected rare tree species, offering a 360° panoramic view of the archipelago. 3. Beaches and Unique Rocks Qianbu Beach: The longest beach on the island, with an arc length of 1750 m. The sand is fine and the slope gentle. Sunrise over the sea is visible in the morning, and the evening displays a "golden sunset over the sand." The "Listening to the Tide Stone" on the west side produces a thunderous sound at high tide. Baibu Beach: With clearer water, it's open for bathing in the summer and has complete facilities, making it ideal for seaside activities. More than twenty uniquely shaped sea-eroded rocks, including Pantuo Rock, Two Turtles Listening to the Dharma Rock, and the Sea-Sky Buddhist Kingdom Rock, are scattered throughout the mountain, forming a spectacular "mountain-sea-reef" landscape together with Chaoyin Cave and Fanyin Cave. Putuoshan blends the religious atmosphere of a "Guanyin Bodhisattva's sacred site," the magnificent seascape of the East China Sea archipelago, and the secluded depths of subtropical forests, making it a rare island-type Buddhist holy site in China that offers a four-fold experience of "pilgrimage—sea view—forest appreciation—sand play."

137***32Guanyin Dharma Realm is worth a visit as a supplement to the Putuoshan itinerary. It is very photogenic when the weather is good. It is beautiful both inside and out, similar to Niushou Mountain in Nanjing, but one is about Buddha and the other is about Bodhisattva. There are also many exquisite works of art and cultural relics, like a small museum.

ડτꪮɾꪗ .Highly recommended! The sacred altar blends traditional craftsmanship with modern technology, featuring white marble walls adorned with gilded statues—every detail showcases meticulous craftsmanship. From praying and making wishes on the first floor to worshipping the four-faced Guanyin on the seventh floor, the entire experience is enveloped in a serene and solemn atmosphere. The "Flowers Bloom, Buddha Appears" sound and light show is breathtakingly beautiful. Free luggage storage, comprehensive facilities for the disabled, and friendly staff are all available. Avoiding crowds allows you to witness the beautiful spectacle of the sun and moon shining together. This journey, combining a visual feast with spiritual healing, is worth experiencing for everyone!

_We***90My second visit was still breathtaking; the saying "revisiting the old to learn the new" is truly apt—the vast universe offers new insights with every visit. ✨ Highlights ✨ ▫️15:00- In-depth Guided Tour (1.5h) Led by a professional guide, I only discovered its wonders on my second visit. Revisiting the Foucault pendulum, meteorite craters, and the four main exhibition halls… It felt like a journey through time. 17:00 Evening Lecture Hall - Encountering the Stars Understanding meteor showers, and enjoying an immersive viewing experience of the Sun Song in the dome theater while reclining… watching the stars while lying down in the planetarium was fantastic. Following the staff's explanations, we traveled through the vast cosmos, searching for stars⭐️ These past few days have been perfect for the Geminid meteor shower. The weather wasn't great during the day, but the clouds cleared up at night, allowing us to stargaze for a while at the outdoor observatory—a wonderful experience! This time, the package we experienced last year was different; the planetarium offered more immersive experiences. I'll definitely come back to check it off my list!

洪虹Tianyi Pavilion was built between 1561 and 1566 (the 40th and 45th years of the Jiajing reign of the Ming Dynasty). Originally the library of Fan Qin, the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of War, it now houses nearly 300,000 volumes of ancient books, including more than 80,000 rare and valuable editions. It is the oldest existing private library in my country, the largest in Asia, and the third largest in the world. In 1982, it was listed as a national key cultural relics protection unit.

鸠藰Overall, it's passable, but it doesn't quite qualify as a 5A scenic spot, especially considering the admission fee. It lacks the grand garden layout of a typical tourist attraction; instead, it has many books and family genealogies. If an NPC or guide could unlock various historical and cultural elements or provide information about your name and ancestors, the experience would be significantly enhanced.

Anonymous userAn enjoyable day out, particularly for the safari. I had to turn a blind eye however at the enclosures where animals can be fed by the public, it seemed very cruel.
4.8/5Anonymous userDisney is definitely worth seeing multiple times! Each of the popular attractions has its own highlights; the speed and passion of TRON Lightcycle Power Run and the whimsical adventure of The Seven Dwarfs Mine Train are both unforgettable. The cast and crew are incredibly enthusiastic, the character interactions are heartwarming, and the details are full of fairytale charm. Surrounded by laughter and magic all day long, the final fireworks show provides a perfect ending to this magical journey, leaving you feeling incredibly happy!
