    Landed at the airport Friday morning and headed to Tianyi Pavilion – no traffic! The garden scenery is natural, and there were group activities for children – lots of laughter and fun! The restrooms in the scenic area were very clean, tidy, and odor-free. Thumbs up! The shopkeepers at the cultural and creative stores were friendly – ​​also a thumbs up!

    Overall, it's passable, but it doesn't quite qualify as a 5A scenic spot, especially considering the admission fee. It lacks the grand garden layout of a typical tourist attraction; instead, it has many books and family genealogies. If an NPC or guide could unlock various historical and cultural elements or provide information about your name and ancestors, the experience would be significantly enhanced.

    Highly recommended! The sacred altar blends traditional craftsmanship with modern technology, featuring white marble walls adorned with gilded statues—every detail showcases meticulous craftsmanship. From praying and making wishes on the first floor to worshipping the four-faced Guanyin on the seventh floor, the entire experience is enveloped in a serene and solemn atmosphere. The "Flowers Bloom, Buddha Appears" sound and light show is breathtakingly beautiful. Free luggage storage, comprehensive facilities for the disabled, and friendly staff are all available. Avoiding crowds allows you to witness the beautiful spectacle of the sun and moon shining together. This journey, combining a visual feast with spiritual healing, is worth experiencing for everyone!

    Guanyin Dharma Realm is worth a visit as a supplement to the Putuoshan itinerary. It is very photogenic when the weather is good. It is beautiful both inside and out, similar to Niushou Mountain in Nanjing, but one is about Buddha and the other is about Bodhisattva. There are also many exquisite works of art and cultural relics, like a small museum.

    Putuoshan Scenic Area (located in Putuo District, Zhoushan City, Zhejiang Province) is one of China's four sacred Buddhist mountains, renowned for its worship of Guanyin Bodhisattva. It is a national 5A-level tourist attraction. Putuoshan Scenic Area is permitted. 1. Landmark of the Buddhist Kingdom by the Sea 33m Standing Guanyin Statue: Cast in imitation gold bronze, with her left hand holding a Dharma wheel and her right hand in the Abhaya Mudra (gesture of fearlessness), facing the sea, it is the most striking visual symbol of Putuoshan. The Unwilling-to-Leave Guanyin Temple: Originally built in the Tang Dynasty, it is the site of the legend of a Japanese monk leaving his image and building the temple. Together with the Purple Bamboo Forest and Chaoyin Cave, it forms the cultural origin of the "Guanyin Refuses to Leave" story. 2. Three Ancient Temple Clusters Puji Temple: The main temple on the mountain, its 8.8m seated Vairocana Guanyin statue in the Yuantong Hall is the most popular; the Haiyin Pond in front of the temple is covered with lotus in summer and snow in winter, and the Yongshou Bridge features 40 stone lions in various poses. Fayu Temple: A nine-tiered temple built into the mountainside, with the Nine Dragons Hall featuring a Ming Dynasty glazed tile roof. The Imperial Stele Hall and Jade Buddha Hall cascade down the mountainside, interspersed with ancient ginkgo and dragon-phoenix cypress trees. Huiji Temple: Located atop Foding Mountain, it requires a cable car or 1088 stone steps to reach the top. Behind the temple, the "Carpinus" is a national second-class protected rare tree species, offering a 360° panoramic view of the archipelago. 3. Beaches and Unique Rocks Qianbu Beach: The longest beach on the island, with an arc length of 1750 m. The sand is fine and the slope gentle. Sunrise over the sea is visible in the morning, and the evening displays a "golden sunset over the sand." The "Listening to the Tide Stone" on the west side produces a thunderous sound at high tide. Baibu Beach: With clearer water, it's open for bathing in the summer and has complete facilities, making it ideal for seaside activities. More than twenty uniquely shaped sea-eroded rocks, including Pantuo Rock, Two Turtles Listening to the Dharma Rock, and the Sea-Sky Buddhist Kingdom Rock, are scattered throughout the mountain, forming a spectacular "mountain-sea-reef" landscape together with Chaoyin Cave and Fanyin Cave. Putuoshan blends the religious atmosphere of a "Guanyin Bodhisattva's sacred site," the magnificent seascape of the East China Sea archipelago, and the secluded depths of subtropical forests, making it a rare island-type Buddhist holy site in China that offers a four-fold experience of "pilgrimage—sea view—forest appreciation—sand play."

    For elementary school students who have already learned about Lu Xun's works, from the Hundred Herb Garden to the Three Flavors Study, and preferably have also read some of Lu Xun's works, this place is quite interesting. The scenic area is divided into several attractions with different entrances and exits. Lu Xun's ancestral home and Lu Xun's former residence are two different places. The Hundred Herb Garden seems to be located within Lu Xun's former residence, so you need to pay close attention. The Hundred Herb Garden is actually just a small vegetable garden, while the Zhu Family Garden is quite large, with a very tall tree. There are covered boats outside the scenic area. There are many Q-version Lu Xun figures. The little Lu Xun school fridge magnets in the souvenir shop are super cute.

    Yandang Mountain is uniquely beautiful, with majestic peaks and towering cliffs. The night view of Lingfeng Peak is like a fairyland. Waterfalls and clear pools are scattered among the mountains, with Dalongqiu Waterfall hanging like a ribbon in the air and Lingyan Waterfall soaring high in the sky, a breathtaking sight. Every step reveals a new view, a natural landscape painting, truly deserving of the title "Number One Mountain in Southeast China".

    It's definitely worth a visit; it exceeds expectations. The natural scenery rivals Huangshan, but it lacks biographies of famous figures associated with it, remaining hidden away in the mountains. The valleys, cliffs, and especially the bridges are breathtaking.

    Hengdian is truly a treasure trove of a town! 🏴‍☠️👍 The only downside is that you can only visit a maximum of three attractions a day! It's too tiring on your legs. But if you're serious about exploring, it's genuinely great! The various architecture, especially the Yuanming New Garden, is a 1:1 replica of the Yuanmingyuan in Beijing! ❤️

    Ocean Park is just across the road from ski park. 1 day is enough to explore if you reach early. There are rides inside the ocean park. Use QR code and we can enter. Easy and convenient.
