Putuoshan or Mount Putuo, sitting on a beautiful small island in Zhoushan, Zhejiang Province, China, is a sacred site for Buddhists all over the world. It is believed to be the bodhimaṇḍa of the Bodhisattva Guanyin, who is widely known as the Goddess of Mercy and is very popular with Chinese and overseas Chinese. It is a tradition that has lasted for over a thousand years in many places to worship Guanyin, especially on her birthday (19th day of the 2nd Chinese lunar month), enlightenment day (19th day of the 6th Chinese lunar month), and reborn day (19th day of the 9th Chinese lunar month). Because of its significant role, Putuoshan is praised as one of the Four Greatest Buddhist Mountains in China.
If you are a devout Buddhist, you should come to Putuoshan once in a lifetime. If you wish to worship Master Guanyin, Putuoshan must be the first place on your journey.
We have rich experience in organizing Buddhism tours not only to Putuoshan but also to Mount Emei, Mount Wutai, and other sacred Buddhist sites. In August 2019, China Discovery was honored to create a tailor-made 7-day Mount Wutaishan Buddhist Pilgrimage Tour for Lee G and her Buddhist friends from Singapore, Malaysia, and China — a group of 31 people, including 4 Tibetan monks.
