Travel in the off-season, a different family trip to Mount Putuo

👍️Recommended reason: Scheduled for early February, the 11th day of the first lunar month after the Spring Festival, the off-season for tourism in the Zhoushan Islands, avoiding crowds. Fewer people, better photos! In addition to worshiping, Mount Putuo is also a great place for sightseeing and playing in the water. 📅Travel guide: Stay one night on Mount Putuo and start playing early the next morning. If you arrive early in the afternoon, you can take a bus to see the South Sea Guanyin and the Purple Bamboo Forest (Guanyin who refused to leave) after entering the island. Then take the hotel car to check in to the hotel, stroll around the hotel, and enjoy the hotel's garden scenery. At sunset, you can see the sunset glow near the hotel. It is recommended to have dinner at the hotel's Chinese restaurant. On the morning of the second day, watch the sunrise on the sea-view terrace of the hotel. Apart from being a bit cold, it is beautiful. After breakfast, walk about 5 minutes from the hotel to the cableway, take the cable car to Huiji Temple, and after visiting, take the cable car back, and then take the bus to Fayu Temple. Fayu Temple is about a 5-minute walk to Qianbu Beach. In the off-season, there are almost no people on Qianbu Beach. There is a garden on Qianbu Beach, and through the garden is the clear water and fine sand, blue sea and blue sky of Qianbu Beach. Take a bus from Fayu Temple Station to Puji Temple. There is an ancient street near Puji Temple, where you can visit the cultural and creative shops and internet-famous cafes. 🏨Accommodation guide: This time I chose Xiangsheng Hotel on the mountain. Backed by mountains and facing the sea, there is a sea-view platform, and the hotel's sea-view rooms can directly watch the sunrise on the balcony. The hotel room is quite large, and the food in the Chinese restaurant is also good. 💗Other tips: 1. Traffic control starts on the island at around 4:30, and buses on the island stop running, basically not going up the mountain, but going to the pier. So be sure to arrange the tour order. 2. Traveling with children, because the child has a sensitive nose, the tour is mainly for sightseeing. The sunrise, beaches, and rocky beaches of Mount Putuo are all beautiful. 3. Shancai Cave and Fanyin Cave are very popular places for worshiping Buddha, and even in the off-season, there are long queues. 4. Because it is the off-season, many hotel facilities are closed, so the hotel only has sightseeing and copying scriptures. And the hotel heating is only turned on at 5 pm. 5. There are no restaurants near the hotel. If you don't want to dine at the hotel, you can eat at the foot of the mountain before going to the hotel or bring your own food. 6. You need to carry your ID card with you, as you need it to buy tickets and take the cable car.
