Putuoshan is said to be a Buddhist paradise by the sea, but only after arriving do I realize it's half tranquility and half a leg workout. Arriving on the island by boat, the sea breeze carries a faint scent of incense. The ancient temples of Puji Temple and Fayu Temple have a charming yellow wall. Standing beneath the Guanyin statue facing the sea, my heart instantly calmed. The soft sand of Qianbu Beach is incredibly comfortable; sitting and daydreaming while listening to the waves is especially soothing. A sincere reminder: free incense is available inside the temples; don't be fooled into buying overpriced incense at the pier. The only way to get around the island is by minibus, and the distances between attractions are far. Walking 20,000 steps a day is easily achievable, so be sure to wear comfortable shoes. Food prices on the island are relatively high, so bring your own water and snacks. Don't rush; take your time, make a wish, and relax. May all your wishes come true, and may your path be smooth.
