Why is Putuo Mountain called Nanhai Guanyin?

Historically, the South China Sea has always been the Dojo of Guanyin Bodhisattva, so everyone has always called the Bodhisattva "Nanhai Guanyin", but at that time, the ancients had a wrong understanding of the other side. This South China Sea is not another South China Sea.

Putuo Mountain, located in Zhoushan City, Zhejiang Province, is a small island in Zhoushan Archipelago. It is said that the Dojo of Guanyin Bodhisattva has been opened on the island since the Tang Dynasty. After thousands of years of vicissitudes, the fragrance is still strong. Today, Putuo Mountain has become a Buddhist holy place with temples, rituals, beaches and green forests, and it is also the most famous scenic spot in Zhoushan. Every year on the Buddha's Birthday, there is a constant stream of tourists and believers on the island.
