[2025 Zhoushan Stay] Travel Guide for Ruyi Resort · International Cultural Center of Buddhism, Putuoshan (Updated Jun)

Ruyi Pavilion Tongxiu Hostel in Putuo Mountain is backed by the Xitian Scenic Area of ​​Putuo Wonders, adjacent to the Financial Street on the right, and the Puji Temple, the largest temple in Putuo Mountain, on the left. It is a few hundred meters away from Baibusha Beach, and you can also overlook the Reclining Buddha Luojia Mountain across the sea. The geographical location is excellent! As you step into Ruyi Pavilion, you will be overwhelmed by the strong Buddhist atmosphere. The overall architecture is in the style of a classical garden, and incorporates the concepts of "following the laws of nature, harmony between man and nature, and secluded life". Buddhist culture is fully displayed in every detail, from architectural decoration to layout, and the profoundness of "Zen is only for those who are attentive" is revealed everywhere. Here, my heart becomes quiet unconsciously. The hotel has nearly 80 guest rooms, which are distributed in the main building and the quiet back hill. The room is very thoughtfully designed. There are incense burners, flower vases, induction Zen lamps, and sutra manuscripts on the desk. There are fruits and Buddhist books on the couch and coffee table by the window. You can flip through them at will and feel very comfortable. From some rooms in the main building, you can see the temple buildings hidden under the ancient trees, which is like a painting. The soft furnishings are mainly made of sandalwood, cotton and linen, which are simple, elegant and exquisite, full of Zen. When it comes to food, of course vegetarian food is required in Buddhist holy places. The hotel's "Zhu Pan Zhai" restaurant offers breakfast, lunch, dinner buffets and all-vegetarian banquets, and the taste is amazing! There is also a creative vegetarian afternoon tea. The Yiyexuan Tea House on the first floor has five tea houses, each with its own style. Professional tea artists will make tea for you, and you can enjoy the Zen elegance while tasting tea. The unique experience is even richer. The third floor is Ruyi Book Gallery, full of books The incense is decorated with Confucian, Buddhist and Taoist classics, which are suitable for quiet study. The Guanyin Cultural Center on the first floor is a treasure trove of precious cultural relics. The eight themes in the center are arranged according to the history of the development of Buddhism. Each collection is the result of decades of careful collection by the owner. On the underground first floor, there is "Mugui Zen Temple", where morning and evening classes are held every day, allowing you to experience the unique Buddhist atmosphere. Puxin Lecture Hall will occasionally invite eminent monks to give lectures, this is a rare opportunity!

After careful selection, I finally chose this Zen hotel on Putuo Mountain. 🎐 After the boat docked, I just needed to make a phone call and the hotel would arrange a car to pick me up at the dock. The thoughtful service made me feel warm. 🚗 The hotel is in a great location, very close to Puji Temple, just a 5-minute walk. The surrounding area has convenient transportation and a complete range of supermarkets. The popular food across the street is mouth-watering, and the vegetarian restaurant Jujube Tree is also very good. 🍱 The hotel is full of Zen. The environment is very suitable for those who want to meditate. Here, it seems that time has slowed down, and people's hearts are deeply comforted. 🙏 I stayed for two nights. On the first day, I stayed in the back mountain of the annex building, which is in Japanese style. There are Buddhist scriptures in the room for copying, and incense for smelling. It is quiet and undisturbed here, and the scenery on the third floor is even more beautiful. The key is that the annex building is very photogenic, and every shot feels like a blockbuster. 📷 On the second day, I stayed in the main building. The main building is in Chinese style, and there are also Buddhist scriptures in the room for copying. However, the sound insulation is not very good and it is a bit noisy. You can choose according to your preferences. 😉 If the heart is content, life is full of scenery. True tranquility comes from the heart, only pursuing simplicity and abundance. Believe in cause and effect, and respect life. May we remain true to our original aspirations and live a worthwhile life! 💕

Ruyi Pavilion Tongxiu Hostel·Putuoshan International Buddhist Cultural Exchange Center New Year and Spring Festival are approaching! I believe that many people will choose to go to the Buddhist holy land of Putuo to pray for good luck in the new year! I have been to Putuo for no less than ten times. I would like to share with you the travel guide for eating, staying and traveling in Putuo. Day 1. Arrive at Zhoushan: Zhoushan has an airport but not many flights. If there is a suitable flight, you can choose to fly directly to Zhoushan. If there is no suitable flight, it is recommended to fly/high-speed rail directly to Ningbo. There are buses to Zhoushan right outside Ningbo Airport, and it takes about 2 hours to get there. If you arrive late on the same day, a more economical way is to stay one night in Zhoushan. We recommend a fast hotel near Zhujiajian Wharf as a transit point. You can check out and take a boat to Putuo early the next morning.

Recommended a hotel on Putuoshan Island with an overall Zen style. The hotel provides sutras for copying, and there are Zen classes in the morning and evening. The location of the hotel is very good, close to Pujisi Temple, and there are many delicious foods and large stalls across the street, which is very lively. Itinerary: It is recommended to spend one day outside the island and one day on the island when coming to Putuoshan. It is recommended to go to Guanyin Fajie outside the island, and go to see Zhang Yimou's Impression Putuo at night. After eating some delicious food, you can enter the island. It is recommended to take a business speedboat to enter the island, no need to queue and super comfortable. You can come out to take pictures at night on the island, and you must go to the beach. The beach of Putuoshan in the evening is really beautiful. There are large undeveloped beaches. Although some places can't go down, it's very comfortable to look at. The next day, concentrate on praying for blessings. If you haven't been here, it is recommended to find a guide, who can assist in leading the way, including explaining the process of praying for blessings. Those who go to Putuoshan to worship Buddha must go here. The Guanyin Holy Altar has a total of nine floors, currently open to the seventh floor, each design is clever and exquisite, a collection of art from all ages, more like a Guanyin culture museum, solemn and grand! 🕑Opening hours: 9:00-17:00 ⏰Tour time: about 2 hours 🎫Ticket price: full ticket 90 yuan There is also a light show every day

There is also a small museum to visit. The view downstairs is also beautiful. The hotel offers set meals and a la carte options. The portions of the a la carte dishes are not very large, and I personally think the small hot pot is okay. The hotel offers set meals and a la carte options.
