What should I pay attention to when traveling to Mount Putuo?
1. Putuo Mountain is a small island in Zhoushan Archipelago. You can only go to Putuo Mountain by boat. Pay attention to the weather. If you encounter bad weather such as fog or typhoon, you are likely to stop the ship. The first time I went to Mount Putuo was in winter. It happened to be foggy that day. When I arrived at the dock, I was told that the ship had stopped. I waited at the shenjiamen pier all day, but I didn't get to Putuo Mountain in the end. Therefore, we must pay attention to this painful lesson and watch the weather before going out to avoid the situation that we can't get to the island when we get to the dock.
2. Burning incense in Putuo Mountain needs to pay attention to some regulations of local temples. Also, taking pictures is not allowed in the temple.
3, Putuo Mountain needs to climb, you can bring a trekking pole, which is convenient for climbing and saves physical strength.
The traffic in Putuo Mountain is very convenient. There are buses between scenic spots. There are many buses leading to other scenic spots in front of some big scenic spots. Pay attention to the destination of the bus and don't get on the wrong bus.
It takes 2-3 days to arrange the trip to Mount Putuo. In the tourist season, you must book accommodation in advance.
The above is my personal suggestion, I hope it will help you.
Go to Mount Putuo to burn incense and worship Buddha. Just bring sunscreen. Nothing else is needed. They are sold at scenic spots. Pay attention to the following points when worshipping Buddha:
1. Please go to the temple to buy incense and call it "please". Incense should be invited by yourself, and others can't pay for it. It is advisable to invite Sanxiang.
2. Entering the temple, entering the temple, entering the temple, you need to take a side door, not the main entrance; Men, women and women should cross the threshold with their right legs. Don't step on the threshold, point your finger at the Buddha statue.
There are many bodhisattvas in the temple, so you can worship them one by one. If time doesn't allow, worship them in the Hall of Ursa Major, and others can worship them three times.
4. Light incense on a special incense burner. Don't light incense in the incense burner or light it with a lighter. Burn incense in the left hand, because Buddhism thinks that the left hand is the cleanest. After burning incense, the incense head is facing up. Fan out the fire gently with your right hand instead of blowing it out with your mouth, and then insert it into the incense burner with your right hand.
5. Xiang ① faces the main hall door, lift Xiang to the height of eyebrows with both hands, hold down Xiang end with both thumbs, and aim Xiang end at your eyebrows. Aim the top of the incense at the Buddha statue, close your eyes and make a wish, then worship three times. Then turn right, hold incense to the east for three times, and then face south to north;
(2) After the worship, take one with your left hand and go to the middle first to support the ten buddhas; Then take the second branch in your right hand and branch it to the right. Then put the third branch on the left with your left hand to support all the monks in the ten directions. Three branches in a row, and then worship Buddha three times. If the incense is too strong to be inserted directly into the incense burner, just throw the incense directly into the burner with your left hand.
6. Make a wish. Remember to tell the Buddha your name, where you live, what you want, and where to make a wish after you finish. Don't make a wish casually, and come back when your wish comes true.
7. Worship Buddha ① Pilgrims worship the left, women use the right, and the futon in the middle is used by the abbot. Don't cross the futon.
② Worship Buddha should first worship the main Buddha in the middle, and then worship other Buddha statues in turn clockwise.
(3) When the Buddha should face the Buddha statue, recite its name. Then report your name and address, and then bow down, with your palms facing up (palm facing down is ancestor worship), indicating that you have received the Buddha's foot, and so on for three times. If you don't know which Buddha or bodhisattva is in front of you, go to Putuo Mountain and read "Southern Guanyin Bodhisattva".
(4) After the worship, lift your body with your right hand and turn right to leave.
(5) hats, gloves, etc. When worshipping Buddha, you should take it off and put it on the Buddha case and the Buddha table.
8. When meeting a monk, the common way to salute is to put your hands together and bow your head slightly, or put your hands on your chest and your head slightly lower. Don't use improper manners such as shaking hands, hugging and touching monks.
9. Others ① Go to Putuo Mountain, and generally go to Luojia Mountain. Going to Putuo Mountain instead of Luojia Mountain is equivalent to burning only half a column of incense, where Guanyin Bodhisattva practices.
Matters related to the trip to Putuo Mountain
We should try our best to do three things about the trip to Mount Putuo. First: Have a certain understanding and introduction of Mount Putuo (including human history, natural environment, address characteristics, etc. ). second: preparations to be made before departure (including understanding of transportation, expenses, catering, accommodation, etc. ). Third: route planning, scenic spot visit, and matters needing attention in the process of tourism.
Mount Putuo
Speaking of Mount Putuo, I think the first thing that comes to mind is Buddhism. Yes, the Buddhist culture in Putuo Mountain has a long history. The ancients called it "Haitian Buddha Country", "Nanhai Holy Land" and "the first pure land on earth". As early as 2000 years ago, this is a treasure-house for Taoist practitioners to practice. Qin 'an students, Han Meizhen, and Jiange Zhichuan are not allowed to come to the mountains to make an alchemy and cultivate monasteries. Up to now, there are still "an alchemist cave" and "fairy well" on the mountain. Historically, the name of Mount Putuo has changed several times. In the Spring and Autumn Period, Goujianshi (497-465 BC), the King of Yue, and Zhoushan and other islands were collectively called Yongdong. During the Western Han Dynasty (32 BC-7 AD), Mei Weifu of Nanchang lived in seclusion and collected herbs for alchemy, hence the name Mei Censhan. Later, in the Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties, it was honored as a place of pilgrimage. Every year in Putuo Mountain, the Guanyin Incense Festival and the pilgrimage ceremony are full of tourists from home and abroad, and the scene is very grand. "There is a fairy mountain on the sea, which is a part of the intangible world". Putuo Mountain has become a famous tourist attraction at home and abroad because of its magic, sacredness and mystery.
Mount Putuo is located in the southern edge of Hangzhou Bay and the east of Zhoushan Islands. It is 6.5km from shenjiamen Fishing Port in the southwest, 2.5km from Zhujiajian Island Island in the south and the vast sea in the east. The administrative area consists of Putuo Mountain, Luojiashan Mountain, Nanshan Mountain, Small Cave, Huosha Mountain, Xiaoluojiashan and other small islands, which are placed under Putuo District of Zhoushan City. Mount Putuo is rhombic, 8.6 kilometers long from north to south, 3.5 kilometers wide from east to west, with an area of 12.5 square kilometers and a coastline of 30 kilometers. Foding Mountain in the middle is the highest, with an altitude of 288.2 meters, extending in all directions, with Chashan in the west, Fulongshan in the north, Qinggulei Mountain in the east, Jinping Mountain, Liantai Mountain and Baihua Mountain in the southeast and Meicen Mountain in the southwest. The main peaks are all between 100 meters and 200 meters, rolling like dragons roaming in the East China Sea, holding their heads high. Luojia Mountain is 5.3 kilometers west of Putuo Mountain, showing a sharp Yangtze River Delta shape, with a length of about 1.05 kilometers from north to south, a width of 0.6 kilometers from east to west and an area of 0.36 square kilometers. The coastline is 3 kilometers long and the altitude is 97. 1 meter. Looking from Mount Putuo, it looks like a sleeping Buddha on the sea.
Mount Putuo belongs to the subtropical maritime monsoon climate zone, with four distinct seasons, no heat in summer, no cold in winter, humid climate, obvious monsoon, abundant rainfall and sunshine.
Putuo Mountain is a national 5A-level tourist scenic spot, the first batch of national key scenic spots, a national demonstration site of civilized scenic spots, a national demonstration unit for protecting the rights and interests of tourism consumers, an ISO 14000 national demonstration zone, an outstanding eco-tourism scenic spot in the world and one of the four famous Buddhist mountains in China.
Preparation before travel
Earlier, we introduced the history, culture and natural environment of Mount Putuo. So what preparations should be made before preparing for the trip?
Transportation: No matter by high-speed train, bullet train, plane or self-driving, you must first arrive at Zhoushan, then arrive at Putuo Mountain Pier and take a boat into Putuo Mountain. After entering Putuo Mountain, there is no taxi on the island, but you can take the tourist bus on the island, with a ticket of 2- 10 yuan. Bus * * * has three lines: 1, Baibusha-Xitian Ferry 2, Baibusha-Cableway Station 3 and Bus Terminal-Fanyin Cave.
Suitable for tourist season: maritime climate of Mount Putuo. In fact, it is suitable for traveling all year round, mainly in spring and autumn and summer.
Tickets: 160 yuan
Accommodation: There are a large number of hotels and inns on the island, most of which are concentrated near Fusaiji and Fayu Temple, and other locations are also distributed, but relatively few. Including boutique hotels, star-rated hotels and family hotels, the price ranges from 200 to 1000 yuan, and you can freely choose suitable accommodation.
Catering: Putuo Mountain is rich in seafood, and vegetarian restaurant is also a common catering on the island. However, due to the high price and expensive food on the island, regardless of the vegetable species, for example, the vegetable prices in Longwan Village are basically in 30 yuan. Breakfast is also very simple, basically fried dough sticks and porridge. Therefore, eating seafood will choose Zhoushan Island (Zhoushan is cheaper) or shenjiamen, and it can also be solved at the farmhouse. Generally, it will be charged according to 60 yuan/person. The set meal on the island is suitable for affordable families, including one 20 yuan, three dishes and rice. The island's mineral water is about 5-6 yuan a bottle and a popsicle 6-8 yuan. Price is high. Try to avoid buying near the scenic spot. You can bring some water, or buy it in the supermarket near the farmhouse, which will be cheaper. Vegetarian food is relatively cheaper.
Scenic spot planning
The main scenic spots of Putuo Mountain are Yin Chao Cave, Fanyin Cave, Chaoyang Cave, Pantuo Stone, Ergui Tingfa Stone, Baibusha, Qianbusha, Fusaiji, Fayu Temple, Huiji Temple, Nanhai Guanyin and Dacheng Temple.
Suggested route: Xinshi-Pantuo Stone-Ergui Tingfa Stone-Guanyin Ancient Cave-Fosaiji-Huiji Temple-Yangzhi Temple-Qianbusha-Baibusha.
Arrive at Mount Putuo.
Xitian Scenic Area: First arrange accommodation near Fusaiji. You can stay in a temple or find a suitable hotel nearby. Then visit the western scenic spots, such as Xinshi Stone, Pantuo Stone, Ergui Tingfa Stone, Guanyin Cave and so on. Return to Fusaiji for a visit before noon.

Mount Putuo, one of the four famous Buddhist mountains in China, attracts nearly 10 million tourists every year, but there are no repeat customers, mainly because there are many arbitrary charges around. Modern people have higher and higher requirements for the tourism industry, and they always want to find some places where fund managers are affordable and worth going. Like Mount Putuo, there are nearly 10 million tourists every year, but the phenomenon of arbitrary charges around it is too serious. In fact, the tickets are not very expensive, and everyone can accept them.
Because it is a Buddhist holy land, a large number of people go to the mountains and villages to pray and fulfill their wishes every year. Therefore, there are many tourists in Putuo Mountain every year. They all want to use their holidays or rest time to pray for their families or their careers in the coming year, including their health. You can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the mountain and pray for your family. Why not?
The ticket price of Mount Putuo 160 yuan sounds reasonable, but the surrounding consumption is chaotic. Not only the hotel charges are not uniform, but also some miscellaneous things are sold, all of which are poured out to charge us. So many people will not come back after 1 visit. Because as long as you enter Mount Putuo, you will find that you can't get out without spending thousands of dollars.
Many netizens said that this place was originally a Buddhist holy land, and everyone prayed devoutly, but isn't it a bit bad to be so commercialized? And the peak season is the worst time, because it costs several times. In fact, I don't think Buddhist holy places like this should be so commercialized, that is, how many tickets are fixed every year, and then a little simple supporting facilities will be enough, and other things that are too commercialized will not exist. In this way, I think the number of tourists will increase year by year.
Every scenic spot in Putuo Mountain has fragrant places, such as vats 15 yuan and vats of 36 yuan, which are enough for two people.
According to the recent news of tourists, vegetarian meals in various temples are the same as those in Huiji Temple. Only lunch is open to the public (meal tickets 10:30 for sale), and the quantity is limited. Please queue up to buy on time.
3. Fanyin Cave is a must-see for children, but there are few tourist buses there. It's good to walk down the hill from the waiting station. It takes about half an hour to get to Fayu Temple Station and then transfer.
Go back early to Luojiashan, there are too many people. There are machines to receive water for free and places to invite incense for free by the roadside.
Besides preparing coins, you can also prepare sesame oil to show your respect. Be careful not to eat that kind of sesame oil.
6. It takes a long time to walk to Putuo Mountain, because the road signs are unclear and the places where the tourist bus goes are limited, so you should wear a pair of soft sports shoes.
7. If you want to spend a day in Zhujiajian Island Island during the tour of Putuo Mountain, you can ask the staff to sign a card when you leave the scenic spot, so you don't have to buy a ticket when you come back.
8. Photography is forbidden in temples.

Pay attention to when traveling to Mount Putuo:
1. In peak seasons, such as Spring Festival, May Day, National Day, February 19 (Guanyin's birthday), June 19 (Guanyin's becoming a monk) and September 19 (Guanyin's becoming a monk), pilgrims all rush to Mount Putuo for pilgrimages, so 2. Pay attention to safety when taking photos in the seaside reef area, and pay attention to anti-skid in rainy days; When going up the mountain, don't go where there is no road. Smoking, burning incense and all other outdoor use of fire are strictly prohibited in the forest area. Pay attention to food hygiene and don't be greedy when eating seafood. It's windy at the seaside, so pay attention to catching cold; When swimming at the seaside in summer, it is best to buy towels, slippers and swimsuits before going to the island. Don't go to the edge of the rock when swimming. The impact of waves will hit rocks, which is very dangerous. 4. If you live in Putuo Mountain and want to go to Zhujiajian Island Island for a day, after buying a boat ticket to Zhujiajian Island Island, you should sign a certificate at the pier exit, so you don't have to buy a mountain ticket when you return to Putuo Mountain that day; 5. Photography is forbidden in temples. Features of Mount Putuo:
1, Haitian Buddhist Kingdom: pilgrims are good men and believe in women, and they will deliberately choose to go to the island for three days: February 19 is the birthday of Guanyin Bodhisattva, June 19 is the Bodhisattva's Taoist Day, and September 19 is the Bodhisattva's Buddhist Day. These three days are in the lunar calendar. In February, the Daxiang Festival is the most prosperous. In June, there are more tourists who go to the mountains for summer vacation. In September, it is called Xiaoxiang Festival, and there are fewer pilgrims. In the first three days of these three days, a large number of pilgrims went to the island, and 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 ...
I compiled and published my own travel notes of Putuo! But again, Putuoshan has more official WeChat accounts. The advantage is that electronic payment is very convenient, but it is best to buy a boat ticket and scan the code on the spot. I bought the wrong return ticket because of the official account of WeChat. Please pay attention! In addition, save enough change, because there is no habit of using cash directly at ordinary times, so it is really inconvenient to bring large bills, but because fragrant flower coupons are cash, you must wear cash!
No one reminded me to prepare food. Everything in Mount Putuo is expensive. You must not eat there and spend money on classes, so bring something to eat and drink.
If you want to go to Mount Putuo this season, you need to prepare the following measures.
First, sun protection
Today is a mild summer among the 24 solar terms, which means that most cities in China have officially entered summer. Putuo Mountain is located next to Zhoushan City, Zhejiang Province, near the sea. You need to bring the same tools as a boat when you go. Zhoushan's Banshoudong Wharf and Sanjiang Wharf can all go to Putuo Mountain. In the hot summer, friends who travel must be prepared for sun protection. Sunscreen, sunscreen clothes and umbrellas are all good choices.
Two. Prevention of mosquito bites
Summer is also the season for mosquitoes to plunder, and Putuo Mountain is close to the sea, with dense vegetation on the island, which is the favorite environment for mosquitoes. It is recommended to take toilet water, wind oil and other anti-mosquito items before going to the island.
Three. trust
Mount Putuo is one of the four famous mountains in Foshan, and it is the emotional destination of Buddhist believers. We must abide by the rules there. For example, when you enter a temple, you can't take pictures or step on the threshold. Most of them are simple rules you can follow.
Finally, I hope you can have a good time and enjoy your holiday.
