Travel tips
๐ Transportation: Drive to Zhujiajian Wugong Temple Pier, 3 hours from Hangzhou/Shanghai
๐ซ Tickets: WeChat Mini Program, ๐ Putuo Mountain One Code Pass, buy tickets + round-trip ferry tickets 220๐ฐ, swipe ID card to enter the park
๐ข Pier time: 7:00-17:30, pay attention to the return time
๐ Scenic area transportation: Mainly on foot! Bus ๐ 5-10๐ฐ, long queue time...
๐ Accommodation: If you have enough time, you can stay on the island. The price is more expensive than outside the scenic area, but you have more free time in the scenic area, and there are not so many people in the morning and evening.

Tips for worshiping Buddha:
โ๏ธ๐ท Buddha statue: The only Buddha statue in Mount Putuo that can be photographed, consecrated
โ๏ธ๐ฅ Incense: Basically, incense is prohibited inside the temple, only in the hall, there is ๐ incense, you can take three sticks, bring your own lighter
โ๏ธ Fanyin Cave bus is suspended, you can only walk if you want to go, it's really far...
โ๏ธ๐ Cableway: It is recommended to buy a one-way ticket, go down the mountain from Puji Temple to Fayu Temple, if you want to challenge yourself, walk up the thousand steps from Faxing Temple, it will be very tiring...
โ๏ธ๐ Food: The scenic area has a variety of food and drinks, and there are many snacks and tea drinks
