If you are a pilgrim, a good man and a good woman, you will choose to go to the island in three days: February 19 is the birthday of Guanyin Bodhisattva, June 19 is the Buddha's enlightenment day, and September 19 is the Buddha's becoming a monk day. These three days are the lunar calendar. In February, the big picture will be the most prosperous. Many people spend the summer in the mountains in June. September is called Xiaoxiang Fair, and there are many pilgrims. In the first three days of these three days, a large number of pilgrims went to the island, so the waiting time may be longer and the house price may be slightly higher. Ordinary tourists, if they want to see the grand occasion of Buddhism, can deliberately choose these days. If they are afraid of crowds, they can avoid these days and go to Mount Putuo.

Someone suggested that friends

From Zizhulin to Fusaji, the night began to diffuse and gradually enveloped the whole island. Walking on the wooden plank road in the forest, the pace is particularly brisk, no matter how far you go, you can't help but want to fly. When I arrived at Fusang Temple, I found a pavilion on the side of the road and sat down. Looking at the dusk in the East China Sea, my thoughts are flying. Sanskrit singing nearby, waves lapping on the shore in the distance, and my heart gradually calmed down in the sound of nature. I seem to see a Bai Lianhua blooming quietly in the dark.

Zhoushan gourmet

seafood

Zhoushan is not only the largest fishing ground in China, but also one of the four famous fishing grounds in the world. The yellow croaker, hairtail, grouper, splendid lobster, oyster, clam, shrimp and crab, mussel and blue crab in Zhoushan are all famous seafood products.

In terms of diet, seafood is naturally a feature, and the main features of cooking are steaming, salting, salting, air drying and eating raw. The main flavor dishes are: bonito braised chicken, yellow croaker, roasted flounder, salted prawn, Shengsi snail sauce, sea cucumber with scallion oil, smoked pomfret and fried eel.

There are many kinds of vegetarian restaurants in Tuoshan, which are fragrant, fresh, elegant and nutritious. They have always been very popular with domestic and foreign tourists. If you are interested, you can open a vegetarian restaurant in the temple. The fasting halls of the three major temples in Putuo Mountain (Fosai Temple, Fayu Temple and Foding Mountain Huiji Temple) all have fasting hours convenient for pilgrims. Generally, breakfast is from 5: 30 to 6: 00, lunch is10: 00-1:00, and dinner is 16:30- 17:00. At that time, I might as well go to the guest room to inquire about it and spend more than ten dollars on fast food, which is both economical and distinctive.

Zhoushan specialty

In Zhoushan, all kinds of fresh seafood are the first choice for shopping. Such as live shells, laver in the South China Sea, shrimp in Huanglong, silver carp in Zhoushan, jellyfish in Sanfan, kelp, sea frog and mussel. Zhoushan International Aquatic Products City, located in shenjiamen, is the largest distribution center for dried and fresh seafood in Zhoushan, with nearly 1,000 stalls available for purchase.

In addition, Zhoushan Flower Putuo Narcissus is unique and suitable for potted plants or hydroponics. Taohua stone on Taohua Island is an excellent stone for processing excellent handicrafts.

taboo

1. Fishermen in Zhoushan Island especially avoid saying "capsize" for fear of capsizing in the sea. For example, a big fish in a dish bowl is half eaten, so you can't say "turn it over", but say "turn it over or turn it over". When basking in yellow croaker bonito, squid bonito, lobster and fish in summer, you can't say "double" but "single".

Don't say "Xia" or "Xia jiaozi", say "Boil jiaozi", and "Xia jiaozi" is commonly known as "drowning" when people fall into the sea. "Going to sea" means "going to sea";

Avoid saying the word "mildew", even if it is homophonic "coal". "Burning coal cake" can only be said to be "burning furnace".

2. It is forbidden for Zhoushan fishermen to knock on bowls with chopsticks when eating; It is believed that "knocking on the bowl with chopsticks" means that the family is particularly poor.

And the taboo of chopsticks in the rice bowl. They think chopsticks can only be put in bowls if they are offered to ancestors.

It is even more taboo to put chopsticks horizontally in a bowl after a meal. Putting chopsticks horizontally on the bowl means that fishing boats will encounter violent storms at sea, or that fishing boats can do nothing to "insert candles" in the ocean, so they have to put their paddles horizontally on the boat, drift with the tide and resign themselves to fate.

Reminder: Visitors to Zhoushan Island had better respect the local folk customs. Especially when eating, it will make the host unhappy.
