Two eastern beaches
The Hundred-Step and Thousand-Step sands trace long, soft arcs along the east coast, the smoothest lines on an island otherwise made of rocky coves and small promontories.

The island
Putuoshan sits in the Zhoushan archipelago off the coast of Zhejiang and is one of the four sacred mountains of Chinese Buddhism, venerated as the home of Guanyin, the bodhisattva of compassion. The island is only a few kilometres long, and its outline is irregular: a compact body pulled out into rocky points, with sheltered sand in between.
The drawing is shaped by pilgrimage. Roads and footpaths link the great monasteries, among them Puji and Fayu, and climb toward Foding, the highest hill, where Huiji Temple stands among trees. Along the east shore two long beaches, known as the Hundred-Step and Thousand-Step sands, form smooth curves against the otherwise jagged coast.
Because so much of the island is hillside, woodland and temple ground, the Putuoshan map poster is quiet and open, made of thin winding lines rather than dense blocks. Ferry piers and the narrow channel toward neighbouring Zhujiajian give the frame its edge, and the sea fills the rest, as it does for anyone arriving by boat.
The Hundred-Step and Thousand-Step sands trace long, soft arcs along the east coast, the smoothest lines on an island otherwise made of rocky coves and small promontories.
Paths and a winding road rise to Foding, the island's highest point, where Huiji Temple sits among the trees. On paper the route reads as a looping thread through open hillside.
The tall statue of Guanyin at Nanhai stands near the southern end of the island, overlooking the water that pilgrims have crossed by boat for centuries.

Why Putuoshan
For anyone who has made the crossing from Zhoushan or Shanghai, this is a map of a journey as much as a place: the pier, the temple steps, the walk along the beach at dusk. It also speaks to those drawn to sacred geography and contemplative landscapes.
Add a title and subtitle in your own words, mark the date of a visit, and choose Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand. Paper and Sand keep the mood soft, while Noir sets the coves sharply against dark water.
