Hiking on Mount Wutai: A Spiritual Trek Through Sacred Peaks
#hikingtrails Mount Wutai, one of China’s four sacred Buddhist mountains, offers not only a profound spiritual experience but also some of the most scenic hiking trails in the country. The journey began at the base of the mountain, where the cool, crisp air immediately refreshed my senses. The towering peaks, lush forests, and centuries-old temples set against the backdrop of the blue sky made for a stunning start to the hike.
As I ascended the mountain, the trail wound through dense pine forests and across serene meadows, with occasional clearings offering breathtaking views of the valleys below. Along the way, I encountered several of the ancient temples that dot the mountain, each one steeped in history and spirituality. The sounds of chanting monks and the sight of pilgrims making their way to worship added a peaceful rhythm to the hike. The calm, meditative atmosphere of the temples, combined with the physical challenge of the climb, made for a deeply introspective and meaningful experience.
Reaching the summit of one of the five peaks, the view was awe-inspiring. The mountain’s sweeping landscape, dotted with monasteries and pagodas, unfolded beneath me, and I felt a profound sense of connection to both nature and the spiritual significance of the place. Hiking on Mount Wutai is more than just a physical journey; it’s a path of reflection and discovery, where the natural beauty and sacred energy of the mountain come together in perfect harmony.

The Wutai Mountain Dazhaotai is full of energy.
When I was sorting out the photos, I found that my body had returned, but my heart flew back to Wutai Mountain. Although there was only one good day in three days, the Huyin Gou did not go well, and the bathhouse to Hongmenyan took a car, and the entire Dazhaotai circuit did not come up, but only one day of good weather and itinerary was unforgettable.
Sure enough, there is only one and countless times on the stage.

I can't recommend this homestay in the Wutai Mountain scenic area enough!
I stayed here again on my second visit to Wutai Mountain. The mountains are ethereal and the homestay is tranquil. You can copy sutras and relax at the homestay. The underfloor heating keeps you warm in autumn and winter.
.
✨The homestay is easy to find. It's not far from the south gate and the main attractions. It's very convenient to drive. The overall style of the homestay makes you feel at home. There's also a sky mirror for taking photos. The scenery is pleasant.
.
❤️It's a place that makes you smile and relax. You can chat, make tea, and daydream. At night, you can go up to the roof to listen to music and watch the stars, or have a drink with other travelers. It's great. Aladodo in the store is naughty and cute. The room is very clean and comfortable. The food is really delicious. It feels like home~

Shanxi! Wutai Mountain! Affordable and comfortable independent courtyard!!!
The environment of the courtyard is good, and it is obviously carefully designed. If you drive here, it is a good choice.
The key point is that it is very convenient in the scenic area. After entering the scenic area, I stayed in the homestay for two nights. It was very good. In addition to the quiet and sanitary hotel-level accommodation, there were also tea sets carefully prepared by the boss. Drinking tea and chatting with friends felt great~ The hotel environment and photos basically match, it is very suitable for family outings and there is an outdoor terrace where you can drink tea and have a meal

A journey to the past - Longquan Temple, Mount Wutai.
Longquan Temple, built in the Song Dynasty, is located at the foot of Zhongtai Mountain, Mount Wutai, Shanxi. It is named after a spring next to the temple called Longquan. The temple was originally the family temple of the Yang family. Although it is not large in scale and is not the oldest temple in Mount Wutai, it is well-known in the scenic area. This is mainly because the temple is full of exquisite brick carvings and stone carvings, making it the most beautiful temple in Mount Wutai. The temple faces south and covers an area of 15,950 square meters. The existing buildings include a plaque, a shadow wall, steps, and three courtyards. The stone plaque on the 108 steps is carved from pure Han white jade, and the three doors and six pillars are covered with various patterns such as flying dragons, flower beams, paper fans, and treasure mirrors. The overall appearance is majestic and spectacular, exquisite and transparent, and it is a rare treasure of modern carving art.
The exquisite and spectacular stone plaque in front of the gate of Longquan Temple is the most famous stone carving plaque among the cultural relics of Mount Wutai. The three rooms and four pillars and three floors are in a wooden structure. The brackets, rafters, flying children, tiles, drips, etc. are all exquisitely carved, forming a "一" shape. The overall appearance is majestic and spectacular, and it is ingeniously crafted. There are 89 Jiaolong carved on the plaque, with scales and claws, and lifelike expressions. The back of the stone plaque is equipped with a large stone lion, with stone flagpoles on both sides, and a stone arch behind, all in Han white jade. The stone plaque is exquisitely carved and is a treasure of stone carving architecture. The various patterns on the plaque are not only exquisite, but also meticulously carved. The stamens and grass leaves are as thin as hair and as thin as gauze; the beasts and birds are vivid and vivid; the expressions of the characters are lifelike. The knife work is so fine that it is as thin as a hair and as thin as a cicada's wings. It really feels like "open your mouth and fear the bird, stretch out your hand and fear the branch". It is a rare art treasure.

Nanshan Temple in Xinzhou: A high-altitude ancient temple in Wutai Mountain with a strong atmosphere of cultivation and alchemy!
Nanshan Temple in Xinzhou is located in the scenic area of Wutai Mountain and is one of the highest ancient temples in the scenic area. It was built in the Yuan Dynasty and expanded during the Republic of China period. It merged Youguo Temple, Jile Temple, and Shandetang into Nanshan Temple. The whole temple is built on the mountain and has more than 300 houses, covering an area of 37,175 square meters. Due to the high altitude, the temple at the top is very artistic, just like the magical place of cultivation and alchemy in the mythological TV series. You can overlook the entire Wutai Mountain scenery from the top, which is very shocking. Therefore, you must come to Nanshan Temple when you come to Wutai Mountain. You can appreciate the beautiful natural scenery and profound architectural art of Wutai Mountain. Now I will summarize and share some simple strategies for visiting Nanshan Temple.
1. Ticket information: You can visit Nanshan Temple for free by purchasing a ticket to Wutai Mountain Scenic Area, and the temple no longer charges a separate ticket.
2. Opening hours: Normally open from 8:00 to 18:00 every day. In case of bad weather, major holidays or temple fairs, the opening hours will be adjusted.
3. Visit time: Normally, it takes 2 hours to visit, but if you like architectural art or photography, it is recommended to arrange 1-2 hours more to visit slowly.
4. Play season: Wutai Mountain enjoys the reputation of the cool mountain in North China, so midsummer is the best season to play, and the altitude of Nanshan Temple is higher and the temperature is lower. Even in the hot summer, you need to wear autumn clothes to play normally, otherwise you will catch a cold.
5. Transportation: According to actual experience, it is more convenient to drive by yourself. If you really can't arrange a self-driving tour, you can take the tourist bus line at Taihuai Town to the Wutai Mountain North Gate Visitor Center and walk 500 meters to reach it, or you can take a taxi from Taihuai Town or Wutai Mountain Station.
6. Food and accommodation: There are no accommodation and restaurants in the scenic area. You can arrange to stay in Taihuai Town. In the non-peak tourist season, the accommodation price is about 160 yuan, and the food consumption is not high. Consumption of 40-50 yuan is more common.

Buddha's Light: China's Magical Light
When sunlight pierces through the clouds and shines on the mountains and rivers, a mysterious and dazzling natural wonder, Buddha's Light, quietly emerges. China's Buddha's Light tourist attractions, with their ethereal and dreamy qualities, attract countless hearts in pursuit of magic and beauty.
The characteristics of Buddha's Light lie in its mystery and ethereal fantasy. It often appears under specific conditions, like a sudden flash of light in a fairyland, giving people a surprise and shock. The colorful halo surrounds the figure, like a sacred crown, and like a blessing of auspiciousness. The colors of Buddha's Light are colorful and changeable, with distinct layers, as if it is a divine painting drawn by nature with the most delicate strokes.
Its cause comes from complex optical phenomena. When sunlight shines on the surface of clouds and fog, after diffraction and reflection, the human shadow is projected into the halo, forming this wonderful Buddha's Light. "The mountains are full of beauty, and the water is full of clouds", which vividly depicts the dreamlike atmosphere when Buddha's Light appears.
As a Buddhist holy land, the appearance of Buddha's Light in Wutai Mountain has a more sacred meaning. The temples are scattered, the bells are melodious, and when the sunlight penetrates the lingering incense, Buddha's Light quietly descends in this solemn and solemn atmosphere. The dazzling halo seems to be the light of compassion shed by the Buddha, warm and peaceful, enveloping every devout believer. "The ancient temple is outside the green mountain, and the Zen room is deep in the flowers and trees." In this deep and quiet environment, the appearance of Buddha's Light adds a transcendent and refined atmosphere. The believers put their hands together and pray silently in the Buddha's Light. The soul seems to have received the purest baptism. At this moment, time seems to stand still, the hustle and bustle of the world are left behind, only the sacred Buddha's Light and inner peace.
The Buddha's Light of Mount Tai shows its majesty and majesty. It stands on the land of Qilu, carrying the heaviness and precipitation of the ancient times. When Buddha's Light comes, the majestic mountain body is even more solemn and solemn under the light. The peaks and mountains are undulating, the clouds and mists are ethereal, and Buddha's Light is like an auspicious sign from the sky, putting a mysterious veil on Mount Tai. Standing on the top of Mount Tai, bathing in the Buddha's Light, you can truly appreciate the majestic momentum of the mountains and rivers.
The Buddha's Light of Huashan adds a touch of magic to its danger. Huashan is famous for its steep cliffs and deep valleys. When Buddha's Light flashes here, it is like a mysterious light from the sky. The peaks are steep, the strange rocks are rugged, and Buddha's Light seems to be a brilliant pearl specially decorated for it by nature. "Only the sky is on, and there is no mountain to match", under the reflection of this Buddha's Light, the danger of Huashan is more unique. The light seems to be telling the tenacity and unyielding of Huashan, and also makes people full of deeper respect and yearning for this famous mountain after marveling.
In Emei Mountain, Sichuan, Buddha's Light often appears on the Golden Dome. Standing on the top of the mountain, the sea of clouds is surging, the sun is piercing the clouds, and Buddha's Light is looming. When the mysterious halo surrounds your figure, it seems to be in the fairyland of the Buddha country. "Shu has many fairy mountains, and Emei is hard to match", this famous mountain full of fairy spirits is more sacred and solemn because of the blessing of Buddha's Light.
The Buddha's Light of Huangshan is also amazing. Among the strange peaks and rocks, the clouds and mists are lingering, and Buddha's Light flashes from time to time. It is like a mysterious visitor, adding a bit of mystery to this magnificent mountain and river. "Huangshan is four thousand feet, thirty-two lotus peaks. Dan Cliff is sandwiched with stone pillars, and the lotus is golden hibiscus." Encountering Buddha's Light in such a strange scene, people can't help but marvel at the ingenuity of nature.
China's Buddha's Light tourist attractions are not only the wonderful gifts of nature, but also the window of dialogue between the soul and the world. Buddha's Light, like the smile of nature, is warm and mysterious. Under the shining of Buddha's Light, people feel the magic and greatness of nature, and are full of awe and yearning for the mystery of the universe.

Traveling to the past - Nanshan Temple, Wutai Mountain (National Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit).
Nanshan Temple, Wutai Mountain, is a Zen temple located between the mountains 2 kilometers south of Taihuai Town, Wutai Mountain, Shanxi Province. It was built in the second year of Yuanzhen of Yuan Chengzong (1296) and was once one of the ten green temples of Wutai Mountain, a national temple, and a royal temple garden.
Nanshan Temple was originally named Dazheng Shouguo Temple by Yuan Chengzong Tumu. Rebuilt in the 20th year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty (1541). Expanded in the ninth year of Daoguang in the Qing Dynasty (1829), it was called Jile Temple. During the Republic of China, people such as Jiang Fuchen in the Northeast carried out reconstruction and collectively referred to it as Nanshan Temple. The existing buildings are relics from the Ming Dynasty to the Republic of China. In June 2009, it was listed as a World Heritage Site as a cultural landscape. On October 7, 2019, Nanshan Temple was announced by the State Council of the People's Republic of China as the eighth batch of national key cultural relics protection units.
Nanshan Temple is built on the mountain, facing east and west. There are 18 courtyards, pavilions, halls and houses, covering a total area of 37,000 square meters. The entire temple is composed of seven layers and three parts. The lower three layers are Jile Temple. In the courtyard on the left side of the temple, the Daxiong Hall is located in the center. The middle layer is Shandetang. The upper three layers are Shouguo Temple. The layout form of the traditional Chinese architecture is adopted. The main building is arranged on the axis, and the auxiliary buildings are arranged on both sides.
The main buildings and statues in Nanshan Temple were all made by Anigo, a famous architect and statue master of the Yuan Dynasty. Although they have been repaired and reinstalled many times in later generations, the content and style of the subject still maintain the basic features of the Yuan Dynasty. It is a rare physical relic for studying and understanding the royal colored statues and temple culture of the Yuan Dynasty. At the same time, the study of Nanshan Temple also has important significance for exploring the relationship between the ancient Chinese court, the emperor and Buddhism.

Mount Wutai.
Mount Wutai is located in Wutai County, Xinzhou City. The five peaks of the mountain are flat like a platform, and the scenery is beautiful. It is a famous summer resort. In addition, it is also the dojo of Manjusri Bodhisattva, with many temples, ranking first among the four famous mountains of Chinese Buddhism. This is a dojo where the Yellow Temple (Tibetan Buddhism) and the Green Temple (Han Buddhism) coexist. You can not only see the monks of Han Buddhism, but also the lamas of Tibetan Buddhism.
If the five fingers are regarded as the towering "Wutai", then the palm of the hand is Taihuai Town. Taihuai Town is the geographical center and the main place for food and accommodation in the Wutai Mountain Scenic Area. Most of the temples are also concentrated here, which is a must-visit place for tourists. When visiting Mount Wutai, you usually eat and live in Taihuai Town. A three-day itinerary is more suitable. If you are not in a hurry, you can basically finish visiting the main temples. There are two things you must do when you come to Mount Wutai. One is to go to various temples to worship Buddha and pray for blessings, and the other is to worship Wutai (Dachao Tai). It is recommended to go to the temple to worship Buddha and pray for blessings for two days, and one day to worship the platform.

The sunrise and sea of clouds at Mount Wutai are stunning (with guide)
There is always a sunrise worth chasing. Climb to the top of the East Terrace, gaze at the sea, and receive good luck from the Mount Wutai sunrise 🌅
Please keep this Mount Wutai sunrise guide
🚗How to get there
✅If you want to enter the scenic area, you need to book a vehicle one day in advance on the public account , with a daily limit of 2000 vehicles. If you only want to see the sunrise, navigate to "Hongmenyan"; all vehicles can reach there, and since it's outside the scenic area, there is no entrance fee. Then walk from Hongmenyan to Wanghaisi, which takes about 40-50 minutes.
✅How to play
Mount Wutai is quite large. If you have 1-2 days, it is recommended to go to the top of the East Terrace first, watch the sunrise in the early morning, where there are many cattle and beautiful meadows. If you are lucky, you might even see foxes. After descending, you can visit the temples of Mount Wutai.
✅ps: Check the sunrise timetable and arrive at the top of the East Terrace about an hour before sunrise. Estimate your travel time in advance based on your location.
📷How to take photos
Half an hour before and after sunrise, find a good spot for photos in advance. If you are too late, the colors will be much lighter.
1️⃣You can lie on the lawn or make a heart shape with your hands, both are great poses.
2️⃣For silhouette shots, shoot against the light and strike various poses to fully unleash your creativity.
✅Blessing Guide
Wuye Temple (Career) ➡️ Shuxiang Temple (Offspring) ➡️ Pusa Top ➡️ Tayuan Temple (Peace) ➡️ Xiantong Temple (Health)
✅What to eat
On the way down, you will pass by many vegetarian halls where you can taste vegetarian meals. This time, on the way down, I found a "Kenjoy Coffee" shop, ordered a Mount Wutai co-branded drink with a rich mung bean aroma, paired with coconut milk for a more mellow taste, instantly curing the fatigue of night travel. The shop owner said this happens to be Kenjoy's 300th store. I hope you and I can see "Joy" whenever we look up in the future.
✅Where to stay
It is recommended to stay in the county town at the foot of the mountain, where there are more choices and better value for money. If you want to watch the sunrise, you need to set off at 3:30 AM.
‼️Be sure to bring long pants, a windbreaker, or a down jacket. It is very cold at the top of the mountain. If you have a thermos, you can bring it too. Keeping warm is very important.
