Mount Puti (Chinese: 菩提山; pinyin: Pútí Shān), also known as Mount Jing (Chinese: 晶山; pinyin: Jīng Shān) is a mountain located in Changshou District of Chongqing, China, with a height of 598 metres (1,962 ft) above sea level.
According to the Changshou County Annals (《长寿县志》), the mountain is named after Bodhidharma, the Indian Buddhist monk who disseminated Buddhism in ancient China.[1]
In 1507, during the Zhengde period (1506-1522) of Ming dynasty (1368-1644), Dai Jin (戴锦), a jinshi in Changshou County, renamed it as Mount Jing.[1]
It has been categorized as a AAAA-level tourist site by the China National Tourism Administration in May 2017.[2]
