A travel guide to Mount Putuo is essential

Mount Putuo is located to the east of Hangzhou Bay, facing Shanghai and Ningbo across the sea. It is one of the four sacred mountains of Chinese Buddhism, a national key scenic spot announced by the State Council in the first batch, a AAAA national tourist area, a national civilized and sanitary mountain, the only ISO14000 national demonstration area in Zhejiang Province, and is known as the 'Buddhist Kingdom on the Sea' and the 'Holy Land of the South Sea'. Here are some of the tourist attractions of Mount Putuo: ● Pantuo Rock: Not far from the west of Meifuan in Meiling Peak of Mount Putuo, on an open mountaintop platform, there is a pair of boulders that seem to be teetering but are actually as stable as Pantuo Rock. It is said that this is the place where the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara preached. ● Thousand Step Sand: The sand is golden in color, pure and soft, wide and tenderly beautiful, like a brocade carpet laid out. Walking on it, one does not get wet or sink. ● Chaoyin Cave: Half-submerged in the sea, the entrance of Chaoyin Cave faces the ocean. It is constantly struck by the waves day and night. The tide rushes into the cave, sounding like thunder, and the interior is filled with strangely shaped rocks, stacked in layers, which are quite interesting to see. There are many more attractions in Mount Putuo, and you can choose to visit them according to your own interests and schedule.
