Introduction

Putuo Mountain, known as the "Buddhist Kingdom in the Sea and Sky", is the holy place of Guanyin, and the island is shaped like a strip. The attractions are mainly distributed in three areas: Puzhao Temple, Nanhai Guanyin, and Foding Mountain. Each area requires about half a day to visit. Nanhai Guanyin is the iconic building of Putuo Mountain, while "refusing to visit Guanyin Temple" is one of the most legendary stories of Putuo Mountain, and worth a visit. On the east side of the island, there are two high-quality beaches, Qianbu Sha and Baibu Sha, which are not to be missed for tourists who love to watch the sea and play in the water. If you plan to visit Putuo Mountain, you need to arrange 2-3 days, and the prices on the island are relatively expensive, so it is recommended to prepare some snacks and drinks in advance.
