The Putuoshan Mountain is located east of the Hangzhou Bay and faces Shanghai and Ningbo across the sea. It is one of the four largest mountains of Buddhism in China, one of the first national-level key scenic resorts and historic sites publicly announced by the State Department, national AAAA level tourist area, a national civilized and hygiene mountain and the sole ISO14000 national demonstration zone in Zhejiang Province. Reputed as “A Sacred Buddhist Mountain” and “A Sacred Site in South Sea”, it is the most famous and 灵异 Buddhist site of Kwan-yin in the country. Temples stand in great numbers on the mountain with strong Buddhist atmosphere. During the period of great prosperity, there are three temples, 88 Buddhist convents, 128 thatched houses and more than 4000 monks on the whole mountain. It is called the “first Buddhist kingdom in Zhendan”.
There are luxuriant trees and ancient camphor trees everywhere on the island with singing birds and fragrant flowers. It is reputed as “A Botanical Garden on the Sea Island”. Though the whole island only covers an area of 12.5 square kilometers, the scenic spots are narrowly distributed. It can be said that “there are views everywhere” and in the eyes of conscientious persons, it can also be said “there are Buddhist views everywhere”. Every stone, every mountain cave, every leave and every wave here, even cool breeze, bright moon, white cloud and multi-colored sunlight in the sky, and sing birds, fragrant flowers, flowing spring and clean water among the forests can communicate with the heart of the Buddha. There is a kind of spiritualism running through them. We linger here, watching the body, the world, the sound and the color, and therefore our hearts get purified.
