According to different Buddhist inheritances, the temples are divided into Qing Temple and Huang Temple. Qingmiao is also called Monk Temple. Most of the monks are Han nationality. They usually wear blue-gray monk robes and are called Qingyi monks. Most of the temples in Mount Wutai belong to the Qing Temple. The Qing Temple is divided into Shifang Temple and Zisun Temple. Zisun Temple implements a family inheritance system based on the master-disciple relationship, and monks from other temples are not allowed to serve in the temple. Historically, most of the green temples in Wutai Mountain belonged to Zisun Temple. The Shifang Temple can receive monks from all over the world, and the monks in the temple can also travel from all over the world. The organization and management implement a selection system. Now, according to the "Management Measures for Han Buddhist Temples" promulgated by the Buddhist Association of China, the original Zisun Temple no longer implements the ancestral system but adopts the merit-based system. There is no obvious difference between Zisun Temple and Shifang Temple.

Huang Temple, also known as Lama Temple, belongs to Tibetan Buddhism. Tibetan Buddhism in Mount Wutai belongs to the Gelug sect founded by Master Tsongkhapa. Lamas who believe in the religion all wear yellow clothes and hats, and are called yellow monks. Now, there are 8 Huang Temples in Mount Wutai, namely Bodhisattva Peak, Luohu Temple, Guangren Temple, Wanfo Pavilion, Zhenhai Temple, Guanghua Temple, Guanyin Cave, and Shangshancai Cave.

Xiantong Temple is located in the center of Taihuai Town. It is the oldest and largest temple in Mount Wutai. The temple was built during the Yongping period of Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty and was originally called Dafu Lingjiu Temple. It was expanded during the period of Emperor Jiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Because there was a garden on the side of the temple, it was named Garden Temple. Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty changed its name to Huayan Temple after Wutai Mountain was recorded in the newly translated Huayan Sutra. Taizu of the Ming Dynasty rebuilt it and gave it "Daxiantong Temple". It now covers an area of ??about 120 acres and has more than 400 various buildings, which is huge in scale.

Tayuan Temple is located on the south side of Xiantong Temple. It was originally a part of Xiantong Temple. It was designed by the Nepalese craftsman Anigo in the sixth year of Dade in the Yuan Dynasty (1302 AD). During the Yongle period, the temple was built independently and was separated from Xiantong Temple. A white pagoda was built in the courtyard and named Tayuan Temple. When people enter Taihuai Town, the first thing they see is the tall White Pagoda of Tayuan Temple. It is very eye-catching and is often regarded as the symbol of Mount Wutai.

Bodhisattva Peak is located on the Eagle Peak on the north side of Xiantong Temple. Looking up from the bottom up, the steps are like a ladder to the sky, leading directly to the Brahma Palace on the top of the Bodhisattva. According to legend, Manjushri Bodhisattva lives on the top of the mountain, so it is named Bodhisattva Peak, also known as Manjushri Temple. It was originally the Qing Temple, first built in the Northern Wei Dynasty. During the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, it was expanded and remodeled into the Yellow Temple, presided over by lamas. The temple is large in scale, covering an area of ??45 acres, and has more than 430 halls and rooms, all of which were rebuilt in the Qing Dynasty. It is built according to the royal palace model. The tiles are three-color glazed tiles and the bricks are blue fine-grained bricks. It is very luxurious and ranks first among the temples in Mount Wutai.

Longquan Temple was originally the temple of the Yang family. It was built in the Song Dynasty and rebuilt in the early Republic of China. It covers an area of ??15,950 square meters and has 165 temples and monks' houses. Because it is surrounded by nine mountains and the spring water is crystal clear, it is called Longquan, hence the name of the temple. There is an archway in Longquan Temple, which is the most famous stone-carved archway among the cultural relics in Mount Wutai. It has three doors and six columns, in the shape of a "one". The whole building is majestic and ingenious. It is said that it took craftsmen six years to build it. There are 89 dragons engraved on the archway, with scales and claws appearing, and their expressions are lifelike; the expressions of the characters are lifelike. After viewing it, tourists all praised it and were deeply impressed. On the hillside a few miles northwest of Longquan Temple, there is Yang Ye's Bone Pagoda. Legend has it that after Yang Ye died, Wulang buried his body here and built a pagoda to commemorate it. Emperor Taizong of Song Dynasty later named Yang Ye as Yang Linggong, so later generations called this tower Linggong Tower. Golden Pavilion Temple: From the road opposite Longquan Temple, you can see the Golden Pavilion Temple to the north of Nantai and south of Zhongtai after passing nine turns and eighteen turns. In addition to the five temple buildings on the top, the Golden Pavilion Temple is located on the highest terrain, with an altitude of more than 1,900 meters and 15 kilometers away from Taihuai Town.

In the fifth year of Emperor Dali of the Tang Dynasty (770), Tripitaka Master Bu Kong, who came to China from India, was ordered to go to Mount Wutai. He founded the Golden Pavilion Temple based on what the famous monk Daoyi Zen Master said about the "Golden Pavilion floating in the sky" where Manjusri Bodhisattva appeared. The temple's copper tiles are cast into tiles, and the tiles are painted with gold to match the holy name of "Golden Pavilion". During the construction of the Golden Pavilion Temple, it was supervised by Master Cunda of the Nalanda Temple in India and built according to the sutras. Master Tripitaka Bu Kong came from India during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. Later generations of Chinese emperors treated him with great courtesy. After the Qiujin Pavilion Temple was completed that year, Fu Kong returned to the capital and was welcomed into the city by Emperor Daizong of the Tang Dynasty. Master Tripitaka Fu Kong was the main founder of the emerging Tantric Buddhism at that time. After Fu Kong left Mount Wutai, his disciple Hanguang always lived in the Golden Pavilion Temple to promote Tantric Buddhism. Therefore, historically, the Golden Pavilion Temple has a great reputation at home and abroad. Guangren Temple, also known as Shifangtang, is located on the east side of the mountain gate of Luohu Temple and is a subsidiary temple of Luohu Temple. It was built during the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty. During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, Luohu Temple was changed from Qingmiao to Huangmiao (Lama Temple), and Tibetan lamas were resident there. Tibetan Buddhists from Qinghai, Gansu and other places make pilgrimages to Mount Wutai and live and practice in this temple. Later, the number of monks gradually increased. During the Daoguang period, the Shifang Hall was built to entertain lamas and religious men and women from ethnic minorities from far away. Since the temple has no real estate, the daily expenses are still borne by Rahu Temple.

I have a suggestion. If you can bring a tent, I think the cost will be much lower. I wonder if you are interested in this.

Haha, just protect yourself from the rain. Because there are so many·#*—R*·(#
