The Guanyin Temple in the East China Sea is small in scale, but it has a very long history. According to legend, in the second year of Liang Zhenming (AD 916) after the Five Dynasties, there was a Japanese monk named Hui E. He had a heavy responsibility, went through hardships, climbed mountains and waded water, and traveled for 9981 days, and finally came to Wutai Mountain, Shanxi, China. , ready to invite one of the sandalwood carved Guanyin statues back to Japan to worship. The abbot of Mount Wutai saw that Hui E was very pious, so he gave it to him. Hui E was very happy, holding the Guanyin statue in his hand, he immediately returned to the sea. He set sail three times to cross Japan, but was blocked three times by storms, clouds, and iron lotuses, so he had to enshrine this Guanyin statue nearby. Under the twin peaks of Putuo Mountain. This Guanyin is very kind-hearted, and decided to go to a common place to save all living beings for the common people. Guanyin thought carefully and chose Fengxian Zhelin, which is known as Fengjianxian. So he performed the Dharma, and the storm surged, and he went straight to the current bay area. At that time, the fishermen who were fishing and picking up seafood saw Guanyin crossing slowly from the direction of Putuo Mountain in the "Haitian Buddha Country". When the news spread, fishermen from a radius of 100 miles went to burn incense and worship. Since then, this Guanyin from Putuo Mountain will bless the weather and go to sea safely. When the local people had money, they worked together to build this Putuo Temple. Avalokitesvara is also very special, and gradually the north bank of Hangzhou Bay has become a land of fish and rice. The temple is undergoing a new design on the basis of the original. The planning includes the East China Sea Pagoda, Yuantong Palace, Tianwang Palace, Wenshu Palace, Puxian Palace, Earth Store Palace, Medicine Master Palace and other buildings. It is believed that during the 2010 World Expo, it will be the only pure dojo in Shanghai that mainly worships Guanyin Bodhisattva, which will be presented in front of believers and tourists, adding a new religious attraction to the Gulf tourist area.
