How about Wudangzhao Tourist Area? Wudang Zhao travel guide

Dangzhao Scenic Area is an ancient temple with a history of more than 300 years, and it is also a place where Tibetan Buddhism is more prosperous. It is called Little Potala Palace, which breeds great Buddhist culture and is a good tourist destination.

It takes about half an hour's drive from Baotou, Inner Mongolia, and you can reach Wudang Zhao in the depths of Daqing Mountain. This is an ancient Tibetan Buddhist temple named "Little Potala Palace", but compared with the genuine Potala Palace, this ancient temple lying quietly in the valley in front of us is rarely known by outsiders.

Historically, there were many willows in the valley around Wudangzhao. Because the willow tree is called "Wudang Zhao" in Mongolian and the temple refers to "Zhao Hao", there is a reason for the name "Wudang Zhao".

But maybe it's because of climate change or man-made logging. At present, the trees in the valley are not lush, which is a bit deserted from our aerial photography.

Some existing ancient temples have been expanded and rebuilt. It may be hard to feel its charm when you step into it, but as soon as the aerial camera rises, this ancient temple surrounded by mountains will feel it immediately.

From the perspective of aerial photography, colorful temples seem to blend in with the surrounding environment. The brightly colored Tibetan houses are built on the mountain, scattered and orderly. In late autumn, the forest is dyed and the mountains are red, adding a layer of artistic conception.

Wudangzhao is the largest existing temple in Inner Mongolia and the only well-preserved pure Tibetan architectural complex in Inner Mongolia. Compared with Potala Palace, Wudangzhao in front of us is more like a Tibetan inhabited area, which is quite different from the Tibetan Buddhist temple in your impression.

However, the appearance of this ancient temple seems ordinary, but there are many people living inside. Dangzhao is not only large in scale, but also has a large collection of cultural relics and historic sites.

If you are interested in history, religion and culture, you might as well spend some time looking at the murals and some cultural relics of the ancient temple, which will bring you a lot of gains.

The status of Wudangzhao in history should not be underestimated. In Mongolian Tibetan areas, Wudangzhao is called "Tsinghua Peking University", the highest institution of Tibetan Buddhism.

In the Qing Dynasty, many famous monks on the grassland came from Wudangzhao. The previous Five Dangzhao, like the Wuming Buddhist College in Seda today, is highly respected by people.

Today, Wudang Zhao is as famous as Potala Palace, but it is much lower-key than Potala Palace. Apart from Mongolian Tibetan areas, Wudang Zhao is not well-known in the outside world, and few tourists come to visit and travel.

The main reason why Wu _ is not well-known is that Baotou is not a big tourist city, and there will be a gap between it and Hulunbeier as a tourist city.

Wudang Zhao has not been overexploited as a popular tourist attraction because of its low popularity. In a quiet and solemn environment, this century-old temple built in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty is even more Zen.

If you think that there are too many tourists in Potala Palace, it is difficult to experience Zen in that quiet atmosphere, maybe you will find a little pure taste in Wudangzhao.
