【普陀山中文景点概况】
普陀山是舟山群岛1390个岛屿中的一个小岛面积12、93平方公里，与舟山群岛的沈家门隔海相望。是中国佛教四大名山之一 、首批国家重点风景名胜区，素有“海天佛国”、“南海圣境”之称。全岛面积12.5平方公里，形似苍龙卧海。
2007年5月8日，舟山市普陀山风景名胜区经国家旅游局正式批准为国家5A级旅游景区。“海上有仙山，山在虚无缥渺间”。普陀山以其神奇、神圣、神秘，成为驰誉中外的旅游胜地。
普陀山是全国著名的观音道常其宗教活动可溯于秦，从山上原始道教、到仙人炼丹遗迹随处可觅。唐大中元年(公元847年)，有梵僧来谒潮音洞，感应观音化身，为说妙法，灵迹始著。唐咸通四年(公元863年)，日僧慧锷大师从五台山请观音像乘船归国，舟至莲花洋，触礁，以为观音不肯东渡，乃留圣像于潮音洞侧供奉，遂有“不肯去观音”。后经历代兴建，寺院林立。
鼎盛时期，全山共有3大寺、88庵、128茅蓬，4000余僧侣，史称“震旦第一佛国”。每年农历二月十九观音诞辰日、六月十九观音得道日、九月十九观音出家日，四方信众聚缘佛国，普陀山烛火辉煌、香烟燎绕;诵经礼佛，通宵达旦，其盛况令人叹为观止。每逢佛事，时有天象显祥，信众求拜，灵验屡现 。
绵延千余年的佛事活动，使普陀山这方钟灵毓秀之净土，积淀了深厚的佛教文化底蕴。观音大士结缘四海，有句俗语叫：“人人阿弥陀，户户观世音”，观音信仰已被学者称为“半个亚洲的信仰。”
普陀山四面环海，风光旖旎，幽幻独特，被誉为“第一人间清净地”。山石林木、寺塔崖刻、梵音涛声，皆充满佛国神秘色彩。岛上树木丰茂，古樟遍野，鸟语花香，素有“海岛植物园”之称。
全山共有百年以上树木66种、1221株。不仅有千年古樟，还有我国特有的珍稀濒危物种、被列为国家一级保护植物的'普陀鹅耳枥。岛四周金沙绵亘、白浪环绕，渔帆竞发，青峰翠峦、银涛金沙环绕着大批古刹精舍，构成了一幅幅绚丽多姿的画卷。
岩壑奇秀，磐陀石、二龟听法石、心字石、梵音洞、潮音洞、朝阳洞各呈奇姿，引人入胜。普陀十二景，或险峻、或幽幻、或奇特，给人以无限遐想。不少名胜古迹，都与观音结下了不解之缘，流传着美妙动人的传说。
主要景点有三大寺：普济禅寺、法雨禅寺、慧济禅寺。普陀山的标志南海观音大铜像、紫竹林，还有以自然景观和寺庙相结合的西天景区。每到夏日来临，来普避暑的游客纷纷聚集到浙江省第一个海滨浴场一百步沙，使普陀山又增加了一道亮丽的景观。
