Mount Putuo

Seafood

The new village, south of the ferry terminal, boasts many seafood restaurants with an excellent fresh selection. prices are 20-25% dearer than the mainland, but the quality of shellfish and fish is first rate. the non-chinese speaker will have to point to the display and hope for the best.

Temple food

Inexpensive â¥5-10 vegetarian fare is available at many of the temples. note: eating times are from 11.30-12.00 for lunch and 16.00-17.00 for dinner.

Vegetarian

As a buddhist island, most of the island's restaurants offer a good selection of vegetarian dishes.

Chinese dishes

The hotels near puji temple have restaurants that are open to non-residents.

Note: There are mostly no English Menues available and the staff does not speak any English, also in the bigger Hotel-Restaurants. If so, you are lucky! Don`t forget your English-Chinese dictionary, especially for food with Chinese Characters. And there is no restaurant on the island serving Western food. If you are lucky you get some toast for breakfast in the hotels.
