    Zhoushan City is a beautiful fishing city, the city construction is also good, the transportation is very convenient, the viaduct construction is very consistent in series of various paragraphs of the city, the coastal road is very pleasant. Zhujiajian Scenic Area is about 38 kilometers away from the city center, and it takes 50 minutes to drive one way...about the clock. Surrounded by mountains in Zhujiajian Scenic Area, self-driving shuttles around the mountains are very exciting and joyful. The city is good, you can travel west! But I didn't take the boat to the island, I felt worthless! Because Zhoushan City is enough for you to spend your thoughts and taste one by one. recommend!

    Guanyin Dharma Realm is worth a visit as a supplement to the Putuoshan itinerary. It is very photogenic when the weather is good. It is beautiful both inside and out, similar to Niushou Mountain in Nanjing, but one is about Buddha and the other is about Bodhisattva. There are also many exquisite works of art and cultural relics, like a small museum.

    Went to agent to exchange for physical ticket to enter Leifeng Tower (also given Yuefei Temple ticket which is to be used to enter the temple) Leifeng Tower gives a very good view of West Lake as well as the surrounding areas including “Three Pools Mirroring the Moon”. Yuefei Temple is where one gets to learn about the patriot Yuefei which we learned in history books when we were young.
