Highlights of Zhaobao Mountain

Historical Relics

Dominating the summit of Zhaobao Mountain is the imposing Weiyan City, initially constructed in the spring of the 39th year of the Jiajing reign of the Ming Dynasty (1560 AD). This formidable fortress spans approximately 502 meters in circumference, with walls reaching varying heights of 7.4 meters. Throughout history, Weiyan City witnessed and withstood numerous conflicts, including battles against Japanese pirates, British forces, French invaders, and Japanese aggressors. The Aozhu Pagoda, an architectural marvel inspired by Song Dynasty design, stands tall at 57.6 meters, featuring seven stories with an octagonal shape and a bronze spire crowning its summit. Ascending the pagoda offers visitors panoramic views of the boundless sea and sky, offering a glimpse into the timeless beauty of the coastal landscape.

Bao Tuo Temple

Nestled within the confines of Weiyan City atop Zhaobao Mountain lies the Bao Tuo Temple, originally constructed on Mount Putuo during the Tang Dynasty and later relocated to Zhenhai by the Ming Dynasty Governor of Zhejiang, Hu Zongxian, in the 36th year of the Jiajing reign (1557 AD). Renowned for its association with Guanyin Bodhisattva and its relocation from Mount Putuo, the temple attracts throngs of devout worshippers, especially during significant Buddhist observances such as Guanyin’s birthday, enlightenment, and ordination on the 19th day of the second, sixth, and ninth lunar months respectively.
