Only by staying at "Baotuo Xingshe" nestled between mountains and sea can you truly understand Buddhist healingš
Last weekend, I finally checked into this upscale hotel on Putuo Mountain! White walls and black tiles hidden in lush greenery, the moment I stepped in, I was soothed by sandalwood incense and the sound of flowing waterāno wonder it's called the "Pilgrim's Rest Stop" just 800 meters from Puji TempleāØ
The hotel is centrally located on Putuo Mountain
With an unbeatable location:
To the south lies the Guanyin Great Buddha
To the north is the Xishan Scenic Area
Just a 10-minute walk to Puji Temple
Perfect for attending early morning Buddhist ceremonies!
šæ Unique Experiences:
1ļøā£ Welcome gift including sachets, blessing pouches, and a canvas tote
2ļøā£ Lavish vegetarian buffet breakfast
3ļøā£ Complimentary fruits, tea snacks, and even scripture-copying sessions
4ļøā£ Free pier shuttle service
5ļøā£ Well-equipped with humidifiers, safes, and other amenities
After my stay, I finally realized: True vacation isnāt about ticking off attractions, but about immersing both body and soul in Zen. On the train back to Shanghai, I was still savoring the tranquility of morning bells and evening drumsāthis must be Putuo Mountainās unique energy field~
