"A hundred miles of azaleas roam freely" the holy place of prayer - Putuo Mountain

The place recommended to everyone this time is Mount Putuo. Putuo Mountain belongs to the eastern waters of Zhoushan Islands. One of the "Four Famous Buddhist Mountains in China". Mount Putuo has always been a holy place for prayer. 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 are respectively the birthday of Guanyin Bodhisattva, the three-xiang meeting for becoming a monk, and the attainment of enlightenment. This time is the most lively. The whole mountain is crowded with people, and incense is constantly burning in the temple, giving it a scene of the Buddhist land of sea and sky. Putuo Mountain, the most famous Guanyin Dojo in China, certainly deserves its reputation. Mount Putuo has many temples and beautiful scenery. It is surrounded by the sea, with beautiful scenery and unique landscape. It is known as "the first pure land on earth". Trees, temples, towers, cliffs, and the sounds of Sanskrit waves and waves are all full of Buddhist mystery. Whenever people have some expectations and wishes, they come here to pray. When Buddha saves all sentient beings, there will always be a satisfactory result. So they continue to have followers, and the incense lasts forever.

Taking care of the blessing tourism, the attraction that tourists are most concerned about is the Guanyin Statue in the Sea. The Nanhai Guanyin Statue is located on Guanyin Tiao Mountain at the southern end of Shuangfeng Mountain in Zhejiang. The goddess Avalokitesvara, who "wishes for thousands of things and often serves as a ferry in the sea of ??suffering", always stands here, which is refreshing and refreshing. Just like the majesty of Guanyin, which makes people awe-inspiring, countless devout believers pray silently on the island. In terms of scenery, it is also worth a visit here. The mountains are high and the slopes are steep, the trees are lush, the air is clear, and the water is rippling. Coming here is like entering the paradise world, the dust disappears. This is really a good place to purify your soul.

The famous temples in Pushan include Puji Zen Temple, also called Siqian Temple. Located at the southern foot of Baihua Mountain, it is the main temple dedicated to Guanyin. Puji Temple, Fayu Temple and Huiji Temple are collectively known as the three major temples in Mount Putuo. There are Tongyuan Hall, Tianwang Hall, Sutra Library, etc. in the temple.

This temple was built during the reign of Emperor Xianzong of the Tang Dynasty and was renamed "Baotuo Guanyin Temple" during the reign of Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty. Worshiping Guanyin Bodhisattva, incense began to flourish. During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, the temple was trampled and looted by Dutch colonial invaders. After the sea became calm in 1689, Kangxi ordered renovation and expansion. Although it suffered heavy losses from the Anti-Japanese War and the Cultural Revolution, it still stands today after subsequent repairs. Admired by all. June to October is the best time to visit temples and is also the peak tourist season. Putuo Mountain is a good summer resort, but we should also pay attention to the possibility of typhoons in Zhoushan in July and August. We should check the weather forecast.

There is also a wonderful beach in Mount Putuo, which is a favorite of many tourists. That's Thousand Steps of Sand. The beach is on the east coast of Putuo Mountain. Qianbusha is named after its length of nearly a thousand steps. The beach is about 1750 meters long. It is the largest beach on Putuo Mountain. The sand surface is wide and flat, and the sand is soft and fine. At the north end, a large boulder rises from the sand. When the water falls, the stones come out. It has the word "Listen to the Chao" written on it, and there are stone steps leading to Wanghai Pavilion. Qiansha is a great place for hiking. The sand is golden in color, pure and soft, broad, gentle and beautiful. It is like a tapestry mat that one can walk on without falling into it. Here, the waves are anchored day and night, and the sound of the waves is endless. Big waves wash over the sand, coming like a waterfall and stopping like a drag. If there is wind, it will be a violent storm, rolling up thousands of piles of snow. Walking here calms my mind and makes my worries disappear, it really hurts very quickly.

If you have unanswered questions, if you want to understand Buddhist culture, if you want to calm your anxious heart, I am willing to take you to Putuo Mountain, a holy place for prayer.
