The Guanyin Jumping Scenic Spot is located on the southeast coast of Longwangang, Putuo Mountain. It consists of the "Guanyin Jumping Sea Stone" and Xifang Jingyuan (also known as Xifang Temple), and faces the famous Luojia Mountain across the sea.
The Guanyin Leaping into the Sea Rock is enormous and flat, perched on the side of a precarious cliff, facing the wind and preventing any tumbledown. Legend has it that this rock served as a boost for Guanyin Bodhisattva when she first leaped from Mount Luojia to spread the Dharma on Mount Putuo. It is also said that this rock was where the Bodhisattva stepped while gazing out at the sea, reflecting on herself, and cultivating enlightenment, hence the name "Guanyin Gazing at the Sea Rock." The rock still bears the imprint of the Bodhisattva's footprint, a truly remarkable sight, and a must-see for all believers visiting Mount Putuo.

Zhoushan's Guanyin Dance, a glimpse into the magical world of Buddhism, offers a breathtaking view of the vast expanse of blue waters, where the sea and sky merge into one. Legend has it that Guanyin Bodhisattva once paused here, gazed upon the scene, and left her footprints, hence the name. Devotees flock here to pray and make wishes, seeking a spiritual haven. Listening to the waves from the railing, one can relax and cultivate their mind, each breeze carrying a sense of Zen, bringing a sense of tranquility and profound enlightenment.
The Guanyin Leaping Scenic Area is located inside the main gate of Xifang Jingyuan and requires no admission. The so-called Guanyin Leaping Scenic Area is a square stone with a footprint-shaped indentation on top. Legend has it that this was the stone Guanyin Bodhisattva used to propagate the Dharma when she leaped from Mount Luojia to Mount Putuo. The view of the sea from this spot is stunning and should not be missed – compared to the bustling Nanhai Guanyin Temple on the other side, this spot is much quieter.
A huge footprint, with many meanings, you can linger and savor the story behind it
The scenery is ordinary, nothing special, perhaps the allusion is the most important
Guanyin jump is a huge... stone...
It looks like a huge piece of rock, hanging diagonally on the edge of the cliff, shaky yet as solid as a rock.
The following is professional scientific information from China-TravelNote:
It is said that this stone was the one that Avalokitesvara used as leverage when she leaped from Mount Luojia to the holy land of Putuo Mountain to spread the Dharma. It is also said that this stone was the one that the Bodhisattva stepped on when she looked out to sea, reflected on herself, and cultivated enlightenment. Therefore, it is also called "Avalokitesvara Looking Out to Sea Stone".
Today, there is still a Bodhisattva's footprint on the top of the stone, which is very auspicious. It is one of the holy sites of Guanyin that believers who come to Putuo Mountain must visit.
This is the best spot to view the reclining Buddha. The Luojia Mountain opposite looks like a reclining Bodhisattva.

Such a famous attraction, but they stopped us from getting off and the staff were rude! Bad review
It is part of the Putuo Mountain Scenic Area, and you can overlook the sea, but all you see is yellow sea water!
Don't miss any of the scenic spots in Putuo. Have fun
This rhubarb soup in Zhoushan is really not that good...
Although I went to Putuo Mountain two years ago, I still remember the slogan of Putuo Mountain: "It's getting better and better!"
It's ok, I can take some pictures...
This scenic spot is also very famous and very beautiful. It is by the sea and you can enjoy the breeze.
Guanyin Jump is located near Nanhai Guanyin. It is a coastal scenery. Generally speaking, you can overlook the sea view here. It is worth recommending
Zhujiajian is a scenic spot on the top of Baishan Mountain. The view from the top is wide and the sea view is unobstructed. When the weather is clear, you can see the Nanhai Guanyin on the opposite Putuo Mountain.
In order to save the world, Guanyin Bodhisattva came here to preach and left his footprints.
There is only this one----------
The sea surface on this coast always looks yellow.
Suitable for leisure travel, fresh air, beautiful environment, I will go there again in the future! Recommended~~~
As dusk approaches, the sea and the blue sky make people feel open-minded.
I must go there every year, and I always believe that sincerity will work.
Located in the deepest part of Baishan Scenic Area, it is said to have got its name from the footprints left by Guanyin when she jumped on the stone while preaching on Putuo Mountain.
Guanyin Jump is located in the Western Jingyuan. The two attractions can be enjoyed together. The view is wide and you can see the sea, listen to the sea, and watch the sunrise and sunset!
The must-see attractions are all on Putuo Mountain. If you have time, you can visit them all.
I like to watch the sea water in the rain. There is a footprint that is said to be the footprint of Guanyin Bodhisattva.
If you walk from Nanhai Guanyin Temple towards the pier and along the seashore, you will pass by Guanyin Jump. Legend has it that Guanyin jumped onto Putuo Temple from this place, hence the deep footprints.
From Nanhai Guanyin, passing Xifang Jingyuan, you will reach Guanyin Tiao. Rather than being a sacred site of Guanyin, it is better to call it a natural wonderland where the sea and sky are in harmony.
A very distinctive Buddhist cultural tourist attraction, highly recommended.
It is said that the stone where the immortals landed has a nice view.
The name of Guanyin Tiao is very interesting, but you need to pay special attention to your feet when walking in this scenic area.

Standing on the Guanyin jump and blowing the sea breeze to purify the soul, the stones are round and smooth because of the beating of the sea water. It is a very beautiful place
One of the more famous attractions in Putuo Mountain, it is worth visiting

Traveling, as long as it is a scenic spot, you must go and you will never forget it.
It's beautiful. Listening to the sound of the tide and thinking about life will give you new insights.
Beautiful, the environment is so beautiful. Beautiful, the environment is so beautiful.
I like Putuo Mountain very much, the sea here, the mountains here, and the temples here.
The scenery is very good and spectacular. A place that makes people think deeply.
There are footprints, but you can't go forward. It's all fenced off.
The scenery is very good, but there are no attractions on the way up the mountain.
It is very beautiful and spectacular, and it is worth a visit. It is said that those with wisdom can see more.
After exiting the Nanhai Guanyin statue, I walked back toward Guanyin Tiao. Then, I stopped before the inscribed stone tablet, facing the sea, and pondered for a long, long time. I thought about the years I'd gone through—the joys and the tears—but I'd been in Beijing for almost eight years, and I felt like I was stuck in the same place. What was my future? What was I going to do? My mood was truly bleak.
Guanyin Jump is a scenic spot near the Nanhai Guanyin statue in Zizhulin Scenic Area. It is the footprint left by Guanyin Bodhisattva when he leaped from Luojia Mountain to Putuo Mountain after he became enlightened. It is on a large rock on the coast and can be visited in 5 minutes.
When I went there in 2000, I could still go up there. There was a really big footprint. Now I am not allowed to go up there. On the one hand, it is high tide, and on the other hand, it is a bit dangerous.
The safety measures here are not very good. Many tourists went down to the rocks under the stand. The waves were very big, but it was very enjoyable to watch.
A very good attraction with a big rock on the seashore
The large footprints of Guanyin Bodhisattva jumping onto the shore have become blurred after years of rain and erosion, but people's faith remains unchanged and many people still come to burn incense and worship.
After exiting the Nanhai Guanyin Scenic Area, I found myself across from the Guanyin Tiao (Tiao) Lake. Initially, I frantically pressed the shutter button on my phone to take photos of the sea, but a friend reminded me that I'd miss out on the true experience of the ocean. A word of advice! The reward of travel isn't just the beautiful photos, but the ability to savor the moment and make beautiful memories!
The Guanyin Jumping into the Sea Stone looks like an ordinary stone, but its location is a little special.
It is difficult to see where the footprints of Guanyin Bodhisattva are. It is said that there used to be a ladder to climb up the stone, but it is gone now.
The Guanyin Jump Scenic Area is located next to the Nanhai Guanyin. According to legend, this stone was the one that Guanyin Bodhisattva used as leverage when she leaped from Mount Luojia to the holy place of preaching on Mount Putuo. It is also said that this stone was the one that the Bodhisattva stepped on when she looked out to sea, reflected on herself, and cultivated enlightenment, so it is also called "Guanyin Gazing at the Sea Stone".
Here you can hear the sound of the sea and waves and see a 360° unparalleled sea view.
Guanyin Jump, there is a big rock here, and Luojia Mountain can be seen clearly in the distance. It is said that this is the closest point to Luojia Mountain. In the past, Guanyin jumped to Putuo Mountain in one step. Luojia Mountain looks like a reclining Buddha from a distance.
The ordinary seascape is just given a story and is special.
The compassionate and merciful Guanyin Bodhisattva, known for her compassion and compassion for all, is not only kindhearted and universally compassionate, but also daring and courageous, a charismatic reformer and a fearless warrior. This thrilling leap left a deep footprint to this day. You too can step on it and take a bit of the Bodhisattva's spirit home with you!
Guanyin Dance is a very popular spot. It is recommended to avoid the crowds and choose a weekend during holidays. It will definitely give you a different experience.
This is the best spot to view Mount Luojia, where you can clearly see the reclining Buddha.
Putuo Mountain is a very famous scenic spot on the seaside. Legend has it that Guanyin Bodhisattva once settled here. People also burn incense here and make good wishes.
Located in the Zizhulin Scenic Area, walk through the Guanyin Buddha and all the way to the end to overlook the sea.
On Putuo Mountain, there is a large footprint on a "Master's Head" on the seashore;
This is a great place to view the reclining Buddha statue on Mount Luojia.
My memory of being seven years old is this stone ~ Guanyin, the sea, and the sleeping Buddha ~
The Guanyin jump near the sea was very windy when I went there, so strong that I could hardly stand. However, standing on the rocks where the Guanyin jump was done and looking out at the Luojia Mountain in the distance was quite pleasant. The visual experience was very vast. It is said that Guanyin jumped onto a rock here and reached the Luojia Mountain opposite to practice Taoism.
Nanhai Guanyin is very close to the ferry terminal. Be careful, there is a Guanyin jump next door, which is very worth visiting. We didn't notice it at first, but we found it when we went back to Zizhulin. The scenery is really indescribable. You must go.
As the dojo of Guanyin, Putuo Mountain has attractions related to Guanyin that are of course indispensable.
Namo Guanyin Bodhisattva! Legend has it that Guanyin leaped from Luojia Mountain to Putuo Mountain, hence the name. The scenery is beautiful. Please do more good deeds. For details, please refer to my super travel guide.
Putuo Mountain is a good place to view the sea, with the Sea of Japan opposite.
Originally, you could see footprints on the stones by the sea, but now for safety reasons, the original stone steps have been removed and can no longer be seen.
When I reached the top of the mountain, I saw the legendary Guanyin Jump. Opposite it was the Nanhai Guanyin Statue. There was also a Guanyin Jump in the Xishan Scenic Area over there. Guanyin Bodhisattva left a footprint here, and there was also a footprint on the opposite mountain top.
Facing Luojia Mountain across the sea, the ruins are said to be left by Bodhisattva, and it is a must-see attraction for pilgrims visiting the island.
Guanyin Tiao, a massive rock at the foot of the sea cliffs near Xifang Jingyuan Temple, bears the inscription "Guanyin Tiao" (Avalokitesvara Tiao) and a large footprint, 42 cm long and 14 cm wide, on its summit. Legend has it that this rock served as a boost for Guanyin Bodhisattva, who leaped from Mount Luojia to the sacred site of Putuo Mountain. It is also said that this rock served as the foundation for the Bodhisattva's journey to the sea, reflecting on herself and achieving enlightenment. Hence, it's also known as the "Guanyin Tiaohai Stone."
Guanyin Tiao is the closest place between Putuo Mountain and Luojia Mountain. The Guanyin Tiao sea rocks are huge and flat, and are located on the side of a dangerous cliff.
Today, there is still a Bodhisattva's footprint on the top of the stone, which is very auspicious. It is one of the holy sites of Guanyin that believers who come to Putuo Mountain must visit.
