Luojia Shan
is a small island to the southeast of Putuo Shan, and can be seen from Bukenqu Temple. An old saying states: 'if you don't visit Luojia Shan, the pilgrimage to Putuo Shan is incomplete'. The ferry to Luojia Shan costs ¥45, and departs from the main ferry terminal. There are two sailings a day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, and the journey takes about 30 minutes. The ferry stays in Luojia Shan for two hours before returning to Putuo Shan, so it is important to keep your eye on the time. Many of temples on Luojia Shan are on mountain peaks, so be prepared for a lot of stair climbing.Ningbo and Shanghai are in easy reach of Mount Putuo.
