Three-day travel guide to Wutai Mountain

Wutai Mountain is a place where incense is flourishing. There are many temples that are very effective, so it is very popular among tourists from all over the world. So, what Xiaobian is going to recommend to you today is the three-day and two-night route guide for Wutai Mountain.

Wutai Mountain is located in a mountainous area, so it is inconvenient to get here. You can choose to get off here in Taiyuan and charter a bus to Wutai Mountain!

If we leave in the morning, we will arrive at noon. We can have lunch here in Taihuai Town, and then start our own trip to Wutai Mountain!

Today's tourist route is Bodhisattva Peak-Xiantong Temple-Shuxiang Temple. Specifically, let's take a look!

Temple recommendation

1. Bodhisattva Peak

To say that Wutai Mountain is the most effective place and the incense is flourishing, then it must be the Bodhisattva Peak here. When I first came here, what I saw was the grandeur and atmosphere here. All the buildings were covered with glazed tiles, showing the splendor here in the sun!

You can enter here from the back door steps at the top of Bodhisattva. Eight dragons are carved on the stairs along the way, and each one is made of glazed tiles, which is lifelike, which also implies the meaning of the ninth five-year plan. Therefore, many people like to burn incense here, which is said to be auspicious!

After walking here, we came to Bodhisattva Peak, which is located in Lingjiu Peak of Wutai Mountain. It has a long history. After the Northern Wei Dynasty and other periods, many emperors used to worship here in the past, and we are familiar with Ganlong and Kangxi.

Now, there are two inscriptions written by Emperor Kangxi in the east courtyard hall and backyard here, both of which are carved out of white marble, and the four characters on the four sides of the monument are Chinese, Mongolian, Manchu and Tibetan!

3. Elephant Temple

The temple is dedicated to Manjusri Bodhisattva, which was founded in the Yuan Dynasty and is regarded as one of the four temples of the Qing Temple. It is also connected with Xiantong Temple, Tayuan Temple and Bodhisattva Peak.

It is said that it is based on the appearance of Qianlong. Whether it is true or not, Xiaobian is not clear! The whole temple, when you walk in, you can find that it is full of garden style, meticulous workmanship and very royal!

The statue of Manjusri Bodhisattva in the Manjusri Hall here is the largest statue on Wutai Mountain. The three walls in the temple are all images of 5 arhats. When people walk in, it's like walking into the world of Buddhism, and there are images of Buddhism everywhere!

In addition to its own architectural style and manjusri bodhisattva, this temple should also talk about the spring water here, which is full of spring water. There is a very cool spring water in the archway of Muxiang Temple, which is crystal clear and beautiful!

DAY2 Wutai Mountain Chaotai

The next day, let's have a big Chaotai activity here! The Great Chaotai of Wutai Mountain is worthy of being the five peaks here, which are dedicated to the manjusri images of the five parties, and are also the incarnations of the five parties, so it is also necessary to come here to Chaotai!

There are two main ways to make a pilgrimage to Taiwan here in Wutai Mountain, one is on foot, and the other is by car. Walking requires physical strength, and taking a car is provided by the local city government, because the terrain here is not very gentle, and private cars and travel agency cars are not allowed to enter! The cost is 36 yuan per person!

DAY3

On the last day, we mainly worship Wuye Temple here and then go to Dailuoding, then we can have a meal and go home!

Temple recommendation

1. Wuye Temple

Wuye Temple is also one of the most effective temples in Wutai Mountain. It is located in the southeast of the famous Bodhisattva Peak. Tayuan Temple looks like a dragon's body, corresponding to the leader of Bodhisattva Peak, but now Wuye Temple introduced by Xiaobian is known as the dragon's tail!

We have also heard that when burning incense in Wutai Mountain, there is a saying that "the dragon head worships Buddha and the dragon tail burns incense", so if you come to Wutai Mountain to burn incense, you must not miss it here!

the whole wuye temple covers an area of more than 2, square meters, including manjusri hall, wuye hall, stage and monk's house, which is in the shape of four orders. During the first and fifteenth days, it is the most lively place. There are not only many people who come here to burn incense, but also some wonderful activities such as praying for rain, singing operas and going to the market.
