Why Thousands of Chinese Wake Up at 2AM to Pray

At 2AM, I woke up to join one of the most unique experiences on Putuo Mountain — the Buddhist morning prayer at Puji Temple. Putuo Mountain, located in Zhejiang Province, is one of the most sacred Buddhist sites in China and is believed to be the bodhimanda of Guanyin, the Goddess of Mercy. For three days, I explored ancient temples, visited the famous Nanhai Guanyin statue, tasted local vegetarian food, visited Shancai Cave, and experienced a side of China that many international travelers never get to see. This vlog is not just about sightseeing. It's about faith, culture, tradition, and finding a moment of peace in a fast-moving world. 📍 Locations featured: • Puji Temple (普济寺) • Nanhai Guanyin (南海观音) • Shancai Cave (善财洞) • Putuo Mountain, Zhejiang, China If you're interested in Chinese culture, hidden destinations, and authentic travel experiences, subscribe and join me on more adventures across China. #PutuoMountain #ChinaTravel #Buddhism #ChineseCulture #TravelChina #Guanyin #Zhejiang #XiaoLongBaoer
