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.

Route: Hotel——South Sea Guanyin——Puji Temple (Baizi Hall)——Fayu Temple——Huiji Temple (Buddha Mountain Top)——Fanyin Cave——Shancai Cave——Return to the hotel
‼️Note when worshiping:
No matter which temple, you can't enter from the main entrance, enter from both sides, remember not to step on the threshold, you have to step directly over
Lighting three incenses is enough each time, no need too much
In short, sincerity is the spirit~
Supplement small Tips:
Be sure to wear comfortable shoes for travel, after all, you have to walk a lot
Remember to bring more change, you need to buy incense flower coupons when entering the temple, only cash can be used
It is recommended to avoid going on weekends and holidays, there are fewer people, everything is convenient!
