Wutai Mountain is located in the northeast of Shanxi Province and belongs to the northern end of Taihang Mountain System.
It spans more than 500 miles across Wuzhou, covering Wutai County, Fan Shi County, Daixian County, Yuanping County and Dingxiang County. Taihuai Town in the central area is 90 kilometers away from Wutai County, 0/60 kilometers away from Xinzhou City and 240 kilometers away from Taiyuan City, the capital of Shanxi Province.
Mount Wutai in Shanxi, Mount Putuo in Zhejiang, Mount Emei in Sichuan and Mount Jiuhua in Anhui are also called the four famous Buddhist mountains in China. Wutai Mountain is the highest peak in North China, with the lowest elevation of only 624 meters and the highest elevation of 306 1 meter.
Cockroaches are stacked on top of each other, with overlapping peaks and hills. Nature has created many unique landscapes for it. Wutai Mountain has a cold climate, also known as "Liang Qingshan".
The annual average temperature is MINUS 4 degrees, the hottest in July and August are 9.5 degrees and 8.5 degrees respectively, the coldest in June is 5438+ 10, and the average temperature is MINUS 18.8 degrees.

In summer in Taihuai area, the clouds are dense, the humidity is high, and it often rains. Qifeng Lingya is everywhere, with more than 50 celebrities.
Among them, the characters on the cliff, after being wetted with water, are carefully wiped with a handkerchief, and the handwriting similar to seal script will appear on the cliff surface, and the water is dry and the characters are hidden. Someone once removed the epidermis stone layer, and as a result, the words could be erased from the lower layer.
If there are different levels, the words are different. According to records, the couplet "Three treasures of heaven, sun, moon and stars, three treasures of earth, fire, water and wind, and three treasures of people" has been found.
The average elevation is above 1000 meters, and the highest point, Yemen Peak in Beitai, is 3058 meters above sea level, which is called "the roof of North China".

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.
1982, Wutai Mountain was approved by the State Council to be included in the first batch of national scenic spots in the name of Wutai Mountain Scenic Spot.

Wutai mountain tourism
I suggest you not to go in winter. First, it's boring. Second, it's cold there. Really, it's actually a good summer resort. Besides, don't go with the tour group. Accommodation there is very cheap. A bed 15'' 30 is enough. It is best to go in June, July and August.
Two days is enough for Wutai Mountain.
The first day you went to Bodhisattva Peak,
On the top of Bodhisattva, there is the Wu Ye Temple with the most incense, and the famous Baita Temple on the map.
The next day, I went to pack snail tops.
It's good to watch the sunrise from the top of the snail bag, and then there is the temple, burning incense
Actually, going to Wutai Mountain means burning incense, and everything else is just so-so.
On the third day, I went to Yue Ming Swimming Pool. This temple is older, like the one on TV before. There is a small pool and a big bowl of small pool at home. You can see the moon in it at night. It's amazing. Third, God should look at scattered temples. Get there as early as possible. It was very cold that day, and the temperature difference between day and night was large. Put on more clothes. Go for a ride.
I hope you have a good trip.

Ask me and you will ask the right person ~ ~ ~
I used to be a local escort in Wutai Mountain ~ ~ ~ Now I have basically introduced the tourism industry ~ ~ So I can tell you with my conscience ~
The Wu Ye Temple in Wutai Mountain is a lie. Although incense is flourishing there, Wu Ye Temple is only famous. Because Wu Ye Temple has made great contributions to tour guides, travel agencies and Buddhist associations, everyone is trying to publicize how Wu Ye Temple works. Actually, shit is not!
If you really want to make a wish, there is a Lingyin Temple on the top of Lingyin Mountain in Wutai Mountain. This is a fox fairy temple. When I lived in Wutai Mountain, I climbed it when I was free. Wutai Mountain locals say it is the most effective place in Wutai Mountain. This temple is very small. There is an old host who is almost 90 years old and his disciples live in it. If there are no tickets, you can draw lots. They will cancel your visa. Don't forget to leave some incense money.
In addition, if you go to Wutai Mountain, it is usually in Taihuai Town. Just a few steps away from Taihuai Town, there are many temples. They are all ancient temples with a long history, and each one is well worth visiting. When I used to travel, I went to these temples every day. I always liked them and never got tired of seeing them. Generally, the itinerary arranged by travel agencies for tourists will include: the statue temple, and the French logistics of the statue temple is also deceptive! But the temple is very good! ) Bodhisattva Peak, Daxiantong Temple, Tayuan Temple and Dailuoding (there are 1080 steps, so you have to walk up. Many people will give you a red envelope along the steps, all asking for money. Just tell him: Amitabha, turn it down, don't answer it, it's useless! Puhua Temple (I like this temple, it's very quiet! ) Now most travel agencies will not arrange to go to the Buddha Cave, but you must go to the Buddha Cave to go to Wutai Mountain! ! ! ! As the name implies, the mother of Buddha is the mother of Buddha Sakyamuni, Mrs. Mokomoyev. The Buddha Cave has to climb 1680 steps to reach the Buddha Cave. Buddha's point is a natural female reproductive organ. This hole is very small, but people weighing 200 kg or 80 kg can enter it with sincerity. Everyone goes in this hole to show reincarnation and then comes out this hole. ! When you come to this temple and mention that you are a friend of Xiao Shuai, you may not want your ticket ~

What are the tourist attractions in Wutai Mountain?
Wutai Mountain is very high above sea level. Although it is roughly at the same latitude as Beijing, its climate characteristics are similar to that of Daxinganling in Northeast China.
Wutai mountain area is humid in summer, and it often rains. You need to bring rain gear when going up the mountain. When traveling to Wutai Mountain in spring and autumn, you need to bring sweaters and pants.
If you want to climb Dongtai to watch the sunrise, you must rent a cotton-padded coat. From Fan Shi and Shahe in the north to Wutai Mountain, we should pay attention to the changes of seasons and climate.
Before May and after September, the expressway high into the clouds was blocked by snow, making it difficult to pass, and it took more than four months from mid-May to September. Every summer is the best time to travel to Wutai Mountain.
Nanshan Temple is a big temple in Wutai Mountain, about 2 kilometers away from Taihuai Town. This temple was built in the Yuan Dynasty. The whole temple has seven floors and is divided into three parts. The lower three floors are called Gokurakuji, the middle one is called Shande Hall, and the upper three floors are called Youguo Temple.
The stone carvings and clay sculptures in the temple are the most distinctive, including Buddhist legends, Taoist allusions and patterns such as trees and flowers. Their meticulous knife work and exquisite composition are a must of Wutai Mountain. This feature is most obvious in Youguo Temple. Standing on the top floor of Youguo Temple, you can overlook four of the five, and the scenery is quite good.
The architecture of Nanshan Temple is also very distinctive. The whole temple is built on the mountain, with distinct levels and scattered patterns. There are twists and turns between the temples, and the paths are secluded, giving people a mysterious feeling. Admission: 4 yuan Xiantong Temple is the largest and oldest temple in Wutai Mountain, commonly known as "Ancestral Temple".
The whole temple covers an area of 43,700 square meters, with more than 400 large and small houses, most of which were built in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Together with the White Horse Temple in Luoyang, it is the earliest temple in China and is now listed as a national key cultural relic protection unit.
The temple is located in the central area of Wutai Mountain, at the foot of Bodhisattva Peak. Xiantong Temple was built in Yongping period of Emperor Hanming, formerly known as Dafu Lingjiu Temple.
It was expanded in the Northern Wei Dynasty and rebuilt by Emperor Taizong. Renamed Dahuayan Temple. Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming emperor, rebuilt it and gave it the name "Datong Temple". Judy in Ming Taizu named it "Dajiang Xiantong Temple" and Zhu Yijun in Ming Shenzong named it "Yongming National Protection Temple".
In the 26th year of Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty (A.D. 1687), it was renamed Daxiantong Temple until today. There are many precious cultural relics left over from history in Xiantong Temple.
On both sides of the hanging gate, there is a stone tablet. The stone tablet imitates the shape of a dragon and a tiger, and writes the words "dragon" and "tiger" respectively, which is a relic of the Tang Dynasty. Daxiong Hall is a place where Buddhist activities are held. Statues of Sakyamuni, Amitabha and Pharmacist Buddha are enshrined in the center of the hall. The whole hall is spacious and quaint.
Infinite hall is a brick structure building, which is unique in that there are no beams and columns in the hall and no eaves outside the hall. Therefore, it is also called "Wuliangtang", which has high artistic value. There is a corridor on the inner wall of the hall, and the whole hall can be clearly seen anywhere in the corridor. Thousands of bowls of manjusri hall are dedicated to thousands of bowls of manjusri bronze statues cast in Ming Dynasty. Five heads are stacked on the bronze statue, and six hands are placed on the chest. Two of them were holding a golden bowl, in which Sakyamuni Buddha sat, with a thousand hands sticking out from the back. Each hand has a golden bowl, and each bowl has a statue of Sakyamuni Buddha, which is very strange in shape.
The bronze hall was cast in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. It is a bronze building, 8.3 meters high, 4.7 meters wide and 4.5 meters deep. The four walls of the temple are all Buddha statues, called ten thousand buddhas. The partition wall is cast with various patterns, flowers, birds and animals, which are very delicate. There are five bronze towers in front of the bronze temple, which means five. Now there are only two, with eight sides and thirteen floors, which are exquisite and attractive.
In the bell tower in front of Xiantong Temple, there is the largest bronze bell in Wutai Mountain, and a Buddhist scripture in regular script with more than 10,000 words is cast outside the bell. Because the clock is long, it is also called long clock, also called long-lived clock. There is a Huayan Sutra Pagoda in the Buddhist Scripture Building. On the yellow and white silk book 10 feet long and 6 feet wide, there are 80 volumes of 600043 words in small print, which are works of Kangxi period in Qing Dynasty.
There are also precious cultural relics in the Tibetan Scripture Building, such as the bronze statue of sandalwood in the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Tibetan Scripture of Leifeng Pagoda published during the Kaibao period in the Northern Song Dynasty, and the eighteen arhats painted on Bodhi leaves in the Ming Dynasty. Admission: nanzenji and 6 yuan are located in the north bank of He Xiaoyin, Bai Yang Township, 265,438+0 kilometers south of Wutai County. Although the temple is small, it has the oldest existing wooden structure in China-the Giant Buddha Hall.
The whole temple can be divided into two courtyards. There are six halls, including the Great Buddha Hall, the East-West Annex Hall and the South Gate Hall. There are more than 30 monk's houses in the backyard. The Buddha Hall is the main building of the temple, which was built in the Tang Dynasty. It has three deep halls and three wide rooms.
There is no column in the hall, and the beam frame is extremely simple, which is the remarkable feature of large-scale wooden structure buildings in the middle and Tang Dynasties in China. The statues in the temple are all original works of the Tang Dynasty, and there are 17 statues on the altar, with Sakyamuni Buddha as the center and Manjusri and Pu Xian on both sides. It seems that they are preaching.
These statues all look natural, and their styles are exactly the same as those of the Tang Dynasty in Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes. There are more than 70 brick carvings around the Buddhist altar, engraved with exquisite patterns, lace and lotus petals, which are masterpieces of brick surface relief art in Tang Dynasty.
Except for the main building, the Great Buddha Hall, which was originally built in the Tang Dynasty, other ancillary buildings were rebuilt in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Admission: The Great White Pagoda, the landmark of Wutai Mountain, is located in 7 yuan Tayuan Temple. It is about 50 meters high and is white all over. There are more than 200 bronze bells hanging on the top of the tower, and their sounds are crisp and pleasant.
There is also a small white pagoda to the east of the White Pagoda. It is said that this pagoda contains the golden hair left by Manjusri Bodhisattva, so it is also called Manjusri Pagoda. Located on the north side of the Great White Pagoda, the Sutra Pavilion is a wooden structure with more than 20,000 books in Chinese, Mongolian and Tibetan languages, of which more than 2,000 are rare books from Song Dynasty to Qing Dynasty.
Admission: 4 yuan Bodhisattva Peak is located on the Jiu Feng of Wutai Mountain. According to legend, Bodhisattva Peak is Manjusri's residence, so it is also called Zhenrong Garden and Manjusri Hall. Founded in the Northern Wei Dynasty, it was rebuilt in previous dynasties. After Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, Mongols and Tibetans settled in Wutai Mountain, and the Dalai Lama lived in Bodhisattva Peak, so Bodhisattva Peak became the head of the Huangmiao Temple in Wutai Mountain.
Emperor Kangxi and Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty visited Wutai Mountain several times, stayed at the top of Bodhisattva and wrote inscriptions. In the hall and backyard of the East Courtyard, there are two white marble quadrangular stone tablets. The inscriptions are written in Chinese, Mongolian, Manchu and Tibetan, all written by Emperor Kangxi. Most of the existing buildings are Qing dynasty buildings, and the architectural forms, techniques and carving art refer to the palace.

3. Revolutionary Holy Land
During War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Border Administrative Committee, the Military Command and other important revolutionary organizations were established and stationed here. The older generation of proletarian revolutionaries such as, Zhu De and Ren and the international proletarian revolutionary Bethune all fought or lived here. Mao Zedong Luju Memorial Hall, the former site of Chaji Border Command, Bethune Model Ward and many other remains of revolutionary sites are still well preserved, which is an important base for carrying out revolutionary traditional education and patriotism education.
4. Geological popular science base
Wutai Mountain has an ancient geological structure, and it is the highest mountain range known in the world, which is composed of more than 2.5 billion years old strata. It completely recorded the 700-million-year paleoproterozoic geological evolution history of the earth between18-25 billion years, and preserved 29 typical ancient planation planes and periglacial glacial landforms in eastern Asia. It is an important example to study the evolution of Cenozoic geological environment and paleoclimate change, and it is also a typical area of the geological boundary between Archean and Proterozoic for more than 2.5 billion years, which is called "nature". The geological value of Wutai Mountain has been widely concerned and recognized by international academic circles, and it has been listed as the earth science teaching base in Peking University. The five platforms in the south, west, north and middle of Shandong are surrounded by a ring, with a ring base of more than 500 miles. Among them, the Ye Dou Peak in Beitai, known as the "Roof of North China", has the highest altitude of 306 1 m, and the glacier landform is well preserved. Cui Yan Peak in China and Thailand, with huge stones piled up, is known as the "dragon turning over the stone" and is an extremely rare geological wonder. Taiwan Province's Gua Yue Feng, Dongtai's Wanghaishan and South Taiwan Province's Jinxiu Peak have different scenery and have important geological research value.
