- The Temple Of Guanyin Who Refuses To Leave: The Temple Of Guanyin Who Refuses To Leave is the oldest and most important temple in Putuohan. It is small and by the sea, just below the much larger than the temple in the Purple Bamboo Forest (Zizhulin). It is decorated in carvings of the Japanese monk and his Guanyin statue and has an obviously patched stele of the Dont-leave story which was smashed by the Red Guards and later retrieved from the sea.
- Foding Mountain Cable Car: You can enjoy the scenery along the way up to Foding Mountain by cable car.
- Puji Temple: With a history of about 1200 years, Puji temple is the largest temple on the island. The temple can hold up more than 1000 people at the same time. There are altogether over 200 structures, including Hall of Heavenly Kings, Hall of Yuantong, and Hall of Abbot.
- Fayu Temple: With a history of about 1500 years, Fayu temple is the second largest temple on the island. It is famous for its ancient architecture, delicate wood carvings and inscribed calligraphy by ancient emperors. You can go there with the cableway or walk up the hill.
- Mountain Putuo: It is located about 100 sea miles east of the Hangzhou Bay, Zhejiang Province. It is a small island among the Zhoushan Island complex, which covers an area of 12.5 square meters. It is long and narrow with a north-south length of about 8.6 kilometers and east-west width of 3.5 kilometers. Foding Mountain, the highest part of the island, has a height of 283 meters above sea level. The Putuoshan Mountain is surrounded by the sea with charming and gentle landscape. Quiet, fantastic and unique, it is reputed as “the first pure and clean place in man's world"
