Mount Wutai, the foremost among the four great Buddhist mountains, is the sacred place of Manjushri Bodhisattva. Manjushri Bodhisattva is known for his supreme wisdom among all bodhisattvas, hence he is also called 'Great Wisdom' Manjushri. A pure land on earth, three pillars of incense burning, may all wishes be fulfilled, and may every path taken lead to a smooth journey! Mount Wutai is located in the northeastern part of Wutai County, Xinzhou City, Shanxi Province, covering an area of 2,837 square kilometers. Centered around Taihuai Town, it is surrounded by five peaks to the east, west, south, north, and center, rising above the clouds with barren summits resembling earthen platforms, hence named Mount Wutai. The highest peak, North Terrace's Yedou Peak, reaches an altitude of 3,058 meters and is known as the 'Roof of North China'. Each temple on Mount Wutai has its own history, and the architectural styles are also varied and splendid. Those with some knowledge of Buddhism should be able to see many stories. Mount Wutai, a real-life Buddhist realm, may everyone's wishes come true.

In this life, one must visit Dachao Platform at least once, a practice that takes five hundred years of cultivation. Mount Wutai, the foremost among the four great Buddhist mountains, is the sacred place of Manjushri Bodhisattva. Manjushri Bodhisattva is known for his wisdom, which is considered the greatest among the bodhisattvas, hence he is also called 'Great Wisdom' Manjushri. Mount Wutai is not a single mountain, but a series of peaks situated atop the 'ridge of North China'. Visiting Mount Wutai usually involves visiting both the Great and Small Dachao Platforms. 👉Great Five Peaks (Great Dachao Platform): East Peak Wanghai Peak, the best spot for watching the sunrise; West Peak Gua Yue Peak, an excellent place for moon viewing; South Peak Jinxiu Peak, abundant with medicinal herbs and flowers; North Peak Yedou Peak, the highest peak in North China; Central Peak Cuiyan Peak, overlooking the entire Mount Wutai. 👉Small Five Peaks (within the temple complex): Corresponding high points within the temple complex to the Great Five Peaks. East Peak Dailuo Top, West Peak Shouning Temple, South Peak Fanxian Mountain, North Peak Bodhisattva Top, Central Peak Dabai Pagoda. 👉Dailuo Top (Small Dachao Platform): If you don't climb Dailuo Top, you're not considered a pilgrim. It concentrates the five kinds of Dharma images of Manjushri Bodhisattva from the five peaks, and climbing Dailuo Top is equivalent to visiting all five platforms, allowing one to worship five Manjushri Bodhisattvas at once. You can take the cable car or walk the 1080 steps of the 'Great Wisdom Road'. 👉Temple Cluster (famous temples): Wuye Temple: Originally called Wanfo Pavilion, commonly known as Wuye Temple. It is the most popular and reputed to be the most efficacious temple. Shuxiang Temple: Home to a 9-meter-tall Manjushri Bodhisattva, the largest in Mount Wutai. 👉Tayuan Temple: A landmark building of Mount Wutai, currently under renovation. 👉Luohou Temple: A very well-preserved Yellow Temple, with the famous 'Blossoming and Seeing Buddha' Manjushri Bodhisattva in the rear hall. Xiantong Temple: The ancestral temple of Mount Wutai, also the highest-status and largest Buddhist temple on the mountain, dating back over 2000 years. It houses the rare pillarless and beamless Wuliang Hall. Bodhisattva Top: The leading Yellow Temple of Mount Wutai, a royal temple. Emperors like Qianlong and Kangxi used it as their palace when visiting Mount Wutai. 👉Guanghua Temple: Really super super super beautiful. 👉Fanxian Mountain: For seeking marriage and unexpected wealth. These temples are very close to each other, all within the temple cluster. There are also slightly more distant temples like Longquan Temple that are well worth a visit. If it's your first time visiting Mount Wutai, you can prioritize the temple cluster and the Small Dachao Platform. The Great Dachao Platform requires more time and is quite a test of physical strength. 💚Mount Wutai is truly worth a visit, each temple has its own history, and the architectural styles are all different and fascinating. Those with some knowledge of Buddhism should be able to see many stories. As for someone like me who easily forgets even after listening to explanations, it's still very worthwhile to worship purely, with sincerity being the main focus. Mount Wutai, a real-life Buddhist realm, may everyone's wishes come true. 💚Some tips: 1. Buy tickets online in advance, as only half-price tickets are sold on-site, etc. 2. The scenic area's signs are not very clear, so it might be helpful to take photos of the scenic and bus maps. 3. The opening hours of each temple vary, so it's good to take note. 4. It's convenient to stay in the area from the tourist center to Dailuo Top, where there is a scenic area bus. 5. It's best to plan for 2-3 days. I am Xiao Bao, who loves to travel and share✌️

After the snow, Wutai Mountain resembles an ink wash landscape painting, ancient and elegant, serene and peaceful. The mountain peaks are covered with white snow, the branches of trees are adorned with silver, and the red walls and golden tiles of the temples appear even more solemn and mysterious against the backdrop of the snow. This scene is intoxicating, as if one were in a fairyland. Sunlight filters through the clouds and sprinkles on the earth, giving a warm feeling. Standing at the summit and looking down, the expanse of pure white snow is refreshing and uplifting. Such a sight seems to cleanse the soul's dust, seeking inner peace and elevation. This place is a masterpiece of nature, a holy land of Buddhism, and the pure and flawless fairyland that people yearn for.

The five peaks of Mount Wutai are transformed from the five fingers of Manjushri Bodhisattva, known as 'Wufeng Mountain'. 2. Manjushri Bodhisattva also moved the 'Resting Dragon Stone' (also known as Qingliang Stone) from the East Sea, and since then Mount Wutai has changed from a desolate scene to a mountain full of greenery and unparalleled coolness. 3. When the five dragons discovered that the Resting Dragon Stone was missing, they chased it to Wufeng Mountain, and with a sweep of their tails, the peak tips turned into terraces. 4.

My first visit to Mount Wutai was not easy to arrange, with inconvenient transportation and unreliable rideshare drivers. With a devout heart, I offered my prayers, climbed the 1080 steps to the Dai Lao Top, and prayed for blessings for my family, friends, and myself. I had thought there wouldn't be many believers or tourists, but to my surprise, the crowd was overwhelming, and the incense burning at Wuye Temple was especially prosperous. Other temples like Tayuan Temple, Shuxiang Temple, and Xiantong Temple also had a lot of incense burning. Besides praying and burning incense, it was quite physically demanding.
