Essential Weekend Retreat to the Goddess of Mercy's Island
As a wellness traveler from the UK, I was looking for a short, meaningful trip away from city noise. This 4-day Hangzhou-Putuoshan route was exactly what I needed.

The logistics, which can be tricky when traveling to an island like Putuoshan, were handled flawlessly. Our private transfer from Hangzhou to the pier and the quick ferry crossing felt incredibly seamless. It turned a potentially stressful multi-step journey into a true retreat.

The two days on Putuoshan were the highlight. Standing before the enormous Guanyin statue felt truly profound. I especially enjoyed the quiet climb to Huiji Temple on the summit and the meditative walk down the steps. It felt like shedding the worries of the city with every step.

The balance of the trip—starting with the classical canals and tea fields of Hangzhou and transitioning to the spiritual depth of the island—was perfectly paced. Highly recommend this for anyone seeking both scenic beauty and spiritual clarity.

A Spiritual Journey to Putuoshan — Truly Unforgettable
 I just returned from the “Putuoshan Tour from Shanghai” with Asia Odyssey Travel, and as a traveler from Malaysia, it exceeded all my expectations!
From the moment I arrived in Shanghai, the whole experience was exceptionally well-organized. Our guide was knowledgeable and made us feel welcomed right away. The drive to Putuoshan was smooth, and taking the ferry added a fun touch to the journey.
Some of the highlights for me:
Visiting Puji Temple: The peaceful atmosphere and the stunning architecture allowed me to truly reflect and connect with my spiritual side.
Walking along Bai Bu Beach: The serene beach was a perfect spot to unwind and appreciate nature's beauty.
The Goddess of Mercy Statue: Standing before the statue was awe-inspiring; it felt like I was part of something larger.
Hiking to Huiji Temple: The views from the top were breathtaking! It was worth every step of the climb.
Delicious Local Cuisine: I enjoyed trying fresh seafood dishes in the local restaurants, which were absolutely delightful.
I highly recommend this tour to anyone seeking a blend of spirituality and nature!
