Puji Temple, Buddhist temple in Mount Putuo, Zhoushan, China

The temple complex includes multiple halls and pavilions positioned along a central axis, featuring the Yuantong Hall containing an 8.8-meter statue of Guanyin.

Japanese monk Hui'e established the temple in 916 after leaving a Guanyin statue on Putuoshan during a storm, naming it Unwilling Guanyin Temple.

Puji Temple maintains its position as a center for Buddhist teachings where appointed monks guide followers through religious ceremonies and meditation practices.

Visitors can reach the temple via ferry services to Putuoshan Island, with regular transportation connections available from mainland Zhoushan throughout the day.

The Free Life Pond situated in front of the temple displays five-color twin lotus flowers, creating an exceptional natural feature within the religious complex.
