Putuo Mountain | Sincerity brings spirituality
Visiting Putuo Mountain during the May Day holiday, you'll find it crowded with people. It's better to choose a weekday to worship and enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way.
Transportation🚗: Departing from Shanghai to Putuo Mountain, the most common means is by coach. If the driver is efficient, it will take less than four hours to reach Zhujiajian, from where you take a ferry to Putuo Mountain. You also need to buy a ticket for the entrance to Putuo Mountain. It's more cost-effective to purchase a package that includes bus🚌+ferry🚢+entrance ticket🎫.
Attractions⛰️: The most famous are Puji Temple, Fayu Temple, the Huizhi Zen Temple on the top of Buddha Mountain, and the South Sea Guanyin. There are minibuses on the island, costing 5-10 yuan, with half price for children, which can take you to various attractions. During busy times, you may encounter traffic control in some areas, requiring you to walk🚶.
Features🌊: Generally, the pilgrimage🙏 takes 2-3 days, and if you have spare time, you can visit nearby attractions such as Baibu Sand, Qianbu Sand, and Fanyin Cave. The path to the South Sea Guanyin Bamboo Forest is very beautiful, and there is also an observation deck at the exit of Huizhi Temple, where you can overlook the opposite island🏝️.
Dining🍚: Seafood is the main fare here, and in recent years chain restaurants have opened, offering relatively reasonable prices. However, the cost of living on the island is definitely higher than on the mainland.

About transportation
No private cars are allowed on the island, nor are there any taxis. The only modes of transportation within the scenic area are buses and cable cars.
About attractions
✅South Sea Guanyin - As the iconic building at the heart of Mount Putuo, the 33-meter-tall Guanyin statue is awe-inspiring. Remember to walk around it clockwise!
✅Xitian Scenic Area - You can overlook the entire Mount Putuo from here, with classic sights like the Heart Stone, Two Turtles Listening to the Law Stone, and Pantuo Stone.
✅Puji Temple - The largest temple, with a total of eight major halls, each allowing for incense offerings.
✅Fayu Temple - The second largest temple on the island, consisting of seven halls. Visit each in order.
✅Purple Bamboo Grove - The entire area is located on the edge of the island, facing the sea with excellent views.
✅Buddha's Summit - Home to Huiji Temple, the third largest temple on Mount Putuo.
✅Brahma's Sound Cave - A more niche attraction. A ten-minute walk will take you to Shancai Cave, a must-visit for those seeking wealth!
✅Luojia Mountain - There's an old saying: 'If you haven't been to Luojia Mountain, you haven't fully visited Mount Putuo.' There are no shops on the mountain, so remember to bring enough water.
