Situated on an island of only square kilometers, just five kilometers away from Zhoushan Island, Putuoshan is the lowest of China's sacred mountains. Literally meaning "beautiful white flower," the mountain is 291 meters above sea level and can reached by a 1060 step staircase. The island itelf boosts caves, tranquil valleys, overhanging cliffs, and beaches. And also, the most delicious seafood in China.
Putuoshan has long been considered a holy place of Buddhist worship. Every year, reverent followers migrate to the island to pay respects to Guanyin, Goddess of Mercy. As a result, the island is littered with temples and shrines. For non-believers of Buddhism, Putuoshan Island still offers spectacular sights of forests and beaches for all to enjoy.
