Last year, the Ti-Ratana Welfare Society organised a trip to Mount Putuo and Mount Jiuhua, two of the four holy Buddhist mountains in China, for members and devotees. It was led by the chief high priest of Malaysia, Datuk K. Sri Dharmaratana or “Chief”, as we affectionately address him.
The trip took place in early November, and there were 60 of us in the group. We flew to Shanghai first, then made our way south via a tour bus towards the island of Zhujiajian. Along the way, we were awed by the scenic views and spectacular infrastructure, including the Jintang Bridge and Xihoumen Bridge.
