The attractions are very beautiful, the surrounding transportation is convenient, the dining facilities are complete, the environment is beautiful and comfortable, will come here next time, the staff is very good, the air is very fresh, the children like it very much.
The scenery is pleasant and the Buddha worships a good place. But there are too many tourists to keep up with the traffic in the scenic spot. It takes more than an hour to queue up to take a car from one attraction to another attraction. There are too many people to be calm. It is recommended to go to the small temple with few people to worship, peace and clean
The natural landscape of Putuo Mountain is very beautiful, known as the "Haitian Buddha Country". Tourists often mention the natural beauty of the landscape, beaches and sunrise and sunset here, and think it is very worth seeing. Cultural heritage: Putuo Mountain not only has beautiful natural scenery, but also rich Buddhist cultural heritage. For example, the Guanyin statue in the South China Sea, Puji Temple, Huiji Temple and other historic temples, as well as various Buddhist activities, are a good place for cultural experience.
The environment is poor and the number of types is small. [3][13] Putuo Mountain is one of the four famous mountains of Buddhism in China, the famous Guanyin Daochang, and one of the first national key scenic spots announced by the State Council. It is known as the "Haitian Buddha Kingdom" and "South China Sea Holy Land". The mountain is open to more than 40 monasteries, the largest are Puji Temple, Fayu Temple, Huiji Temple and Baotuo Temple.
There are crowds, dense people, the boat is not very comfortable, others are good, the seafood is good. Very good, come back next time, come, get better and better, the accommodation on the island is still quite expensive, parking charges 48 days.

Buddha Wonderland, Bodhisattva Daochang, a place definitely worth visiting once in a lifetime, wash your soul. Puji Temple, Guanshiyin in the South China Sea, Zizhu Forest, it is really not a loss to the Haitian Buddha Kingdom, the Holy Land of the South China Sea.
The scenery is beautiful, the cats are really huge, I like it very much, that is, the consumption is really high, you can bring some food to the island. If you live in Longsha Yisu, you want to go to Huiji Temple, you can take the bus directly to the bus terminal to the ropeway. There are few people there and there are no crowds, you can also go directly to the pier. At night, the Guanshiyin Theater of Putuo Mountain Theater can be shocked, you can consider taking a look.
