What is the most convenient way to get to Mount Putuo?

Every year around Guanyin’s birthday or the Spring Festival, many tourists go to Mount Putuo to worship Buddha. If this year is special, the scenic spot is not open yet. You can learn about the precautions when going to Mount Putuo to worship Buddha. You need to pay attention to the relevant traffic information.

: What to pay attention to when worshiping Buddha in Putuo Mountain

1. There are no taxis in Putuo Mountain Scenic Area, but there are tour buses between various scenic spots. Other hotels only have their own cars, so most of them have to walk to Putuo Mountain by themselves.

2. There is an Incense Festival in Putuo Mountain, which originated from Guanyin’s birthday. Every year on the 19th day of the second lunar month, the 19th day of the sixth lunar month, and the 19th day of the ninth lunar month, there will be more tourists in Mount Putuo than usual during these three days. The usual passenger flow is 10,000 to 20,000, and on the morning of my birthday there will be more than 30,000.

3. Burning incense and worshiping Buddha is actually not the most important thing. As long as you are sincere, you can have three sticks of incense, one for Buddha, one for Dharma, and one for Sangha. When worshiping Buddha, you should worship the Buddha statue first, and then worship in the other three directions clockwise.

4. If you want to take pictures, do not face the Buddha statue directly, because it will be impolite. Another reason is that the Buddha statues here have been exposed to light, and taking a photo may damage the efficacy of the Buddha statues.

Introduction to tickets and attractions

1. December is the off-season. Tickets are 140 yuan. February to November is the peak season. Tickets are 160 yuan. Every year from the first to the fifth day of the first lunar month, May Day, and National Day, the ticket price will rise to 200 yuan. There are also three major temples in Putuo Mountain: Puji Temple 5 yuan, Huiji Temple 5 yuan, and Fayu Temple 5 yuan.

Three major temples worth visiting

Puji Zen Temple is the most dynamic of the three major temples in Tuoshan. There are Guanyin and eight halls where you can ask for different wishes: Tongyuan Hall, Bodhisattva body, great wishes; Samantabhadra Temple, for work and career; Zaowang Hall, for filial piety; Pumen Temple, for marriage and children; Manjusri Hall, for study; The Blue God Temple is for good fortune; the Sanzhou Induction Hall is for the ghost king to keep you safe.

If you want to go to Method 4, you need to take a bus in the scenic area. There is less incense here than at Fosaiki, so it will be cleaner. There is another scenic spot not far away called Baidu Sand and Qianbu Sands. Huisi Temple is the highest place on the whole mountain. It is dedicated to Guanyin Bodhisattva on the front and white jade on the back. It is the most effective place to pray for a child.

In addition to seeking help from the Buddha, you can also eat vegetarian food at Fosaiki. But you must pay attention to the time. If you miss it, it’s gone. Breakfast 5:30-6:30, lunch 10:30-11:30, dinner 16:10-17:10, breakfast 5 yuan, lunch and dinner 10 yuan. After eating, you need to wash yourself.

See the most spectacular Buddha statue.

The symbol of Putuo Mountain Scenic Area is the large bronze statue of Nanhai Guanyin. Zizhulin Scenic Area is the essence of Putuo Mountain, including Zizhulin Buddhist Temple, Shuququ Guanyin Temple, Nanhai Guanyin Buddha and many other scenic spots. Because it is said that the most effective way to visit the Guanyin Buddha Statue is before noon, so there are usually more people in the morning.

You can see that when you go to worship Buddha, the plaque says refuse to go to Guanyin Temple. Why is there this name? Who said that Japanese monk Huikai came to China to study Buddhism and then wanted to invite Guanyin Bodhisattva to Japan? However, after several departures and twists and turns, the trip still did not go smoothly. He thought, could it be that Guanyin didn't want to go to Japan? So I left the Guanyin statue on Mount Putuo and built a temple to worship it. Therefore, I will not go to Guanyin Temple.

There will be relatively more tourists here at the Guanyin Statue. The total height of the Nanhai Guanyin Statue in Mount Putuo is 33 meters, of which the base is 13 meters high and the bronze statue is 18 meters high. The material of the Buddha statue is precision casting of imitation gold and copper. In addition to the vegetation around the Big Buddha Square, there is also a sea view in the distance, so the sea breeze here does not want to face Guanyin, which has four days to protect. I can’t light incense, I just worship Buddha sincerely.
