North Putuo Mountain, located about seven kilometers northwest of Jinzhou City, is a famous northern temple with a history of 1400 years. The north is regarded as the Dojo of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and there are large Buddhist buildings in the northeast. Here, you can feel the rich Buddhist atmosphere and see various historical sites and stone carvings. Mount Putuo has lush trees and beautiful scenery. In summer, you can come here to climb mountains and experience high-altitude zip lines.
There are temple buildings such as the lower hall, the upper hall and Guanyin Cave of North Putuo Temple in the scenic area of North Putuo Mountain. Into the mountain gate, there is a section of asphalt road. If you drive yourself, you can drive up the hill along this road. About 1 km away from the mountain gate, you can go to the lower hall of Beiputuo Temple, where you can also see the scenery such as Yinniu Spring and Shouzi Stone. From here, you can take a cableway to Jiguan Mountain (to and from 30 yuan, one-way to 20 yuan) or walk up the mountain from Shijie Road (about half an hour). The main peak, Jiguan Mountain, is more than 300 meters above sea level, and there is a statue of Laozi on the top of the mountain. If the weather is fine, you can overlook the panoramic view of the scenic spot and Jinzhou city.
If you continue to walk from the ropeway station, you can go to Guanyin Cave according to the scenic spot signs. On the road, the road that Emperor Gan Long once walked was a quiet stone road with a zip line station. Just tie a rope and you can slide to the mountainside opposite Jiguan Mountain (40 yuan), which is quite exciting. Guanyin Cave is a temple built by digging cliffs to worship Guanyin Bodhisattva. It is said that praying here is very effective. There are historical sites such as Yuelao Temple and Guling Pagoda.
After visiting Guanyin Cave, you will go to the upper courtyard of North Putuo Temple, and you will pass by Lovers Garden and Chen Yuandian, where 6 1 Buddha statue is enshrined. Further inside, you will reach the main building complex of North Putuo Mountain. First of all, you will see the magnificent Heavenly King Hall and the bell and drum towers on both sides. Behind it is the 25-meter-high dripping Guanyin, an open-air giant Buddha in western Liaoning, with a solemn and sacred appearance, leading to the Daxiong Hall in the upper courtyard of Beiputuo Temple. In addition, there are many temples in the temple, among which there are dozens of souvenirs presented by Dade monks from famous ancient temples at home and abroad in the Magic Weapon Building.
The scenic spots in North Putuo Mountain are not very big, so you can freely arrange the order of the scenic spots. After the tour, you need to go back to the mountain gate. You can take the battery car to the gate of the lovers' garden in the central area of the scenic spot (7 yuan per person). There are canteens and restaurants near the lover's garden, which can solve the catering problem. Take some dry food and drinks before you leave.
