Cruises from Putuoshan

Putuoshan Island is one of the larger islands belonging to the Zhoushan Archipelago, a group of some 1400 islands located at the mouth of Hangzhou Bay. Putuoshan Island covers an area of some 12 sq.km., most of which is pristine nature. There are fantastic vistas of the surrounding seascapes from Putuo Mountain, which is one of the Four Sacred Mountains of Chinese Buddhism. It is also home to the most famous Guanyin Temple - the Goddess of Mercy and the patron saint, as it were, of seafarers.
