Putuo District, Zhoushan City, Zhejiang Province, is a small island surrounded by the sea, about6.5 kilometers from Shenjiamen Fishing Port, and2.5 kilometers from Zhujiajian Island to the south. Putuo District, Zhoushan City, Zhejiang Province, is a small island surrounded by the sea. There is no bridge connection. Tourists need to take the boat to the island. The incense is very strong all year round, you can choose to live on the island or go to the island the next day. Sightseeing car ➕ walk.
This time I went to Putuo Mountain too quickly, and it rained for two days. Some places had not had time to play well; but the environment was really good, the homestay inside was also very quiet, and the air was fresh and pleasant. It’s not very convenient to eat.

Zhujiajian Scenic Area is called the Pearl of the East China Sea, intertwined with sands, strange stones, and sea erosion landforms. The core highlights are three: ten miles of sands 🏖️ five beaches stretching for 5 kilometers, sandy texture as delicate as silk, is the largest beach group in East China, the main venue of the International Sand Sculpture Festival, showing the collision of art and nature. Wushi gravel beach 🌌 dark cobblestone paves the mysterious coast, listening to the tide and watching the waves at moon and night, and the experience of fishing boats pulling crab cages is full of fishing fun. The Daqingshan Range Rover ⛰️ climbs to the top to overlook the Qiandao sea view and the wonders of Wusha, and the mountains and seas are magnificent in the clouds and mist. Buddhist culture, sand sculpture art and fisherman style are blended here, and there are more diverse ways to play around the island, sea fishing, etc., which is the first choice for the Yangtze River Delta coastal vacation! 🎨
Tomorrow I will go to Putuo Mountain to pray for blessings. I drove to Zhujiajian at noon today and stayed. After lunch, I checked the Guanyin Fajie. It was nearby. It was very easy to walk one kilometer on two legs. The nine floors were opened and the seven floors were very spectacular. It was very big. I saw all kinds of Bodhisattvas and I gained knowledge.

Around the three elements of "people, buddhist, zen", "chao buddhist, ask buddhist, enlighten buddhist" three content 11 chapters presented, the story expressed close to the people, so that the audience more easily resonated, so as to better understand the Zen and philosophy contained therein.
Put down 3,000 annoying silks and sit for 70 minutes. I went to Putuo Mountain and came back to see it. There was a feeling of spiritual cleansing and physical and mental purification. The real stage could not tell whether the stage was turning or the mountain was turning. It seemed to be in it.

Just came out of the ocean and rainforest, bought a joint ticket, three garden joint ticket 299. The water world is really not moving. To be honest, I felt that the price was expensive at first, and I felt that it was worth it after the tour. The most praise is that the staff is also emotionally enthusiastic in today's off-season environment. The toilet is also clean and hygienic. Several performance activities also have their own characteristics, and the clowns drive emotions immediately. Rainforest zoos have fewer people, and relatively the ocean may be slightly boring due to the lack of interaction. The two shortcomings may be that they are not open-air zoos or ocean parks and appear a little gloomy and depressed. Also, if you improve the sound of individual performance speakers, it will be more comfortable. Some.
The small animals in the rain forest hall are very cute. I also really like the snakes and lizards. The rabbits inside are also very cute. I will definitely bring my children to play next time.

The scenery of Liuhe Chaoyang Scenic Area is unquestionable. The endless sea and the lighthouse facing the sea really make you sigh at the beautiful scenery.
The scenic area is not big, and you can walk to the lighthouse quickly. There are several photo-taking spots along the way.
The only drawback is that the package is a bit of a pit. We bought the package of Liuhe Chaoyang and the monk package. The two scenic spots are far apart, so it is not recommended to buy a package.

Overall, a relatively high cost-effective attraction, very few people, the environment is very good, suitable for slowly swimming. The staff at the door was very enthusiastic and recommended me a place that was more fun and didn't need tickets.
This attraction is generally the same, there is nothing to see, an hour is enough, if you don’t have time to see, don’t look at it, if you have time to see, it is better to see Jin Yong’s museum. There is no air conditioning in the museum.

Special Landscapes
The park is densely covered with vegetation, dotted with streams and waterfalls, creating a tropical rainforest atmosphere.
There are many themed exhibition areas, such as Bird Paradise, Rainforest Secret, Butterfly Valley, Snake Valley, River World, Seabird World, etc.
The greenhouse area displays giant ferns and orchids, full of natural vitality.
Animal species
There are more than 200 species and more than 10,000 rainforest, river and coastal creatures.
The animals that visitors can get close to and interact with include raccoons, capybaras, lizards, sloths, rabbits, capybaras, sika deer, alpacas, etc.
Personally, I think it's pretty good. Although it's not big, it's all indoors, and you can interact with many small animals. One of the more interesting things is that they have snakes, which are very interactive. If you are not afraid, you can hold them. I like this place very much. You can also interact with the Capybara on the Internet, which feels really good. You can actually interact with sloths, too. The tour guides are also very patient, and the small animals are very cute.
