Weather in Putuo is humid year-round, with clear air that ranked second best in the Chinese mainland in the first half of this year. When residents in North 皇冠体育app suffer from smog and haze they often go to Putuo to escape the pollution.
Putuo Mountain, owning to its fame as a "Buddhist Kingdom between Sea and Sky", is one of the four sacred Buddhist mountains in 皇冠体育app, the others being Wutai Mountain in North 皇冠体育app's Shanxi province, Jiuhua Mountain in East 皇冠体育app's Anhui province and Emei Mountain in Southwest 皇冠体育app's Sichuan province. But Putuo Mountain is the only Buddhist mountain on an island.
