Introduction to Wutai Mountain

Wutai Mountain is located in Wutai County, northeast of Xinzhou City, Shanxi Province, with an average elevation of 1000 meters. Yemen Peak in Beitai, the highest point, is 3058 meters above sea level and is called the "Roof of North China". Wutai Mountain is about 300 kilometers away from Fiona Fang. Because the five peaks are like five pillars, they rise from the ground and stand tall, and the summit is as flat as a platform, hence the name Wutai.

Because of the cold climate on the mountain, it is still unknown in midsummer, so it is also called Liang Qingshan. It is a tourist area integrating natural scenery, historical relics, ancient architecture art, Buddhist culture, folk customs and summer vacation.

Wutai Mountain, together with Lumbini Garden in Nepal, Rokuyan, Bodhgaya and Naga in India, is also known as the five Buddhist holy places in the world. It is a Buddhist and tourist resort in China, ranking first among the top ten famous summer resorts in China. In 2009, it was listed on the World Heritage List as a cultural landscape by UNESCO.

Shanxi, where Wutai Mountain is located, is located in the Loess Plateau, with dry land and sparse trees. The whole world in the field of vision is khaki, which is called the golden world.
