Mount Wutai with its five flat peaks is one of the four sacred Buddhist mountains in China. It is seen as the global centre for Buddhist Manjusri worship. Its fifty-three monasteries, include the East Main Hall of Foguang Temple, with life size clay sculptures, the highest ranking timber building to survive from the Tang Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty Shuxiang Temple with a huge complex of 500 ‘suspension’ statues, representing Buddhist stories woven into three dimensional pictures of mountains and water. The temples are inseparable from their mountain landscape. With its high peaks, snow covered for much of the year, thick forests of vertical pines, firs, poplar and willow trees and lush grassland, the beauty of the landscape has been celebrated by artists since at least the Tang Dynasty – including in the Dunhuang caves. Two millennia of temple building have delivered an assembly of temples that present a catalogue of the way Buddhist architecture developed and influenced palace building over a wide part of China and part of Asia. For a thousand years from the Northern Wei period (471-499) nine Emperors made 18 pilgrimages to pay tribute to the bodhisattvas, commemorated in stele and inscriptions. Started by the Emperors, the tradition of pilgrimage to the five peaks is still very much alive. With the extensive library of books collected by Emperors and scholars, the monasteries of Mount Wutai remain an important repository of Buddhist culture, and attract pilgrims from across a wide part of Asia.

Very impressive place with many temples and worship places to explore. But everything is very expensive (=2x) and there are many people.

Beautiful ,wonderful ,extraordinary valley 15 years ago…now hideous development for mass tourism with huge parking places and hotels yakkkkk.Excessive entry price. This was my last trip

Wutai Mountain is a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is a place of cultural significance in a beautiful natural setting. It is one of the four Buddhist holy sites in China. Wutai means five terraces. Basically it refers to a valley with over 50 temples surrounded by five peaks whose top is relatively flat, thus called terraces. It is a place where Tibetan Buddhism and Han Chinese Buddhism coexist. You see pilgrims of both kinds. Some of the temples were started as early as 5th Century. We spent a day just visiting the major temples and did not have time to go to any of the peaks. Best time to go is in the summer when the peak areas are covered with wild flowers. The highest peak , the North Terrace, is 3061 meters (9000 feet) high. Every peak has a temple. It is possible to do a loop to hike from peak to peak. Note that there is a small fee for the entrance into most of the temples but it is free if you are over 60 and have your ID.

Amazing place. Lots of historical monuments. Got to chat with a few monks who were very nice. You can get a car to go there or use a shanxi auto transport group bus. Easy to navigate around because there are lots of visitor information center. Overall an amazing place.

I love this place, the monks are really kind! I love it here!

(Translated by Google) Dailuoding is located on the steep ridge east of the central temple complex in Taihuai. It was first built in the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty and rebuilt during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty and the Kangxi and Qianlong periods of the Qing Dynasty. In the temple on Dailuoding, there are five kinds of Manjushri Bodhisattva statues on the top of five platforms in Mount Wutai. Here, you can worship the five Manjushri Bodhisattvas at one time, so it is also called the "Little Chao Terrace". They are Boy Manjushri, Immaculate Manjushri, Wisdom Manjushri, Clever Manjushri, and Lion Roaring Manjushri. (Original) 黛螺頂位於台懷中心寺廟群以東的陡峭山脊上，始建于明成化年間，明萬曆年間和清康熙、乾隆年間都曾重修。黛螺頂上的寺院內有五台山五座台頂的五種文殊菩薩法像，到這裏，可以一次性朝拜五尊文殊菩薩，所以又叫「小朝台」。分別為孺童文殊、無垢文殊、智慧文殊、聰明文殊、獅子吼文殊 。

(Translated by Google) It is located on the hillside of Kowloon Gang, on the way to Nantai Peak. It was founded in the Song Dynasty and rebuilt in the Ming Dynasty. It now has screen walls, steps, archways and three courtyard towers. It was originally the Yang family temple, and Yang Wulang was buried here. The monks in the temple are kind and hospitable, giving people the feeling that they have friends from afar, and they don't look like professionals who work nine to five jobs.

The oldest timber structure in China

(Translated by Google) This ultra-small temple has only one main hall and is more than 80 years older than Foguang Temple. Because of its more remote location, Mr. Liang Sicheng did not discover it! [laughing][laughing][laughing]Although it is small, it has a high status. [laughing][laughing]It is the oldest wooden building in China! (Original) 这座超小的寺庙，只有一间大殿，比佛光寺还年代久远个80多年，由于位置更加偏僻，以至于梁思成先生没有发现！[偷笑][偷笑][偷笑]它虽然小，但是辈分高，[破涕为笑][破涕为笑]是中国最古老的木质建筑！

(Translated by Google) Although the level and content of the Tang Dynasty are not as good as Foguang Temple, and the overhaul of the magic change is also controversial, it still can't hide its peerless style. A small temple in the countryside has such a level, which is unimaginable in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. (Original) 虽然等级和含唐量不如佛光寺，魔改的大修也有争议，还是难掩绝世的风采。乡间小庙就有如此水准，大唐盛世不敢想。

(Translated by Google) The oldest wooden building in China. Remains of the Tang Dynasty. I get the impression that the design is similar to the Kondo Hall of Toshodaiji Temple, which can be said to be from the same period. When I visited in the late 1990s, I had a hard time just getting there without a navigation system, but I felt it was worth it to see the wooden buildings that have survived the turbulent history of China to the present day. Ta. (Original) 中国最古の木造建築。唐の時代の遺構。同時代と言える唐招提寺金堂にデザイン的に相通ずる印象をうけます。1990年代後半に訪れた際にはナビも無く辿り着くだけでも大変な思いをしましたが、激動の中国の歴史の中、現代まで生き抜いた木造建築を前にしてそれだけの価値があると感じました。

(Translated by Google) The main hall of Nanchan Temple is the oldest existing wooden structure in China and the only Buddhist temple known to have survived before Emperor Wuzong of the Tang Dynasty exterminated Buddhism. Because it is located on a remote cliff platform in Wutai Mountain, it has escaped the ravages of the Huichang tribulation and military disasters in the past. The Loess Plateau has a dry climate, so it has escaped the ravages of natural pests and disasters. Over the long years, although the Nanzenji main hall survived, it was almost forgotten. It was not discovered until the 1950s, and its glory in the history of architecture once again bloomed. This hall is less famous because it was discovered later than the East Hall of Foguang Temple, and is not as large or complex as Foguang Temple. However, the importance of the Nanzen Temple Hall in the history of architecture cannot be ignored. The original statues of the Tang Dynasty are preserved in the hall. , and is a classic in the history of Chinese sculpture. (Original) 南禅寺大殿是中国现存最古老的木结构建筑，也是目前所知唯一一座唐武宗灭佛前留存下来的佛寺。由于位处五台山偏僻的悬崖台地上，故逃过会昌法难及历代兵灾的摧残；黄土高原气候干燥，因而又躲过虫害天灾的肆虐。在漫长的岁月中，南禅寺大殿虽得以幸存，却几乎遭人遗忘，直到上世纪50年代才被发现，重新绽放它在建筑史上的光辉。此殿因发现时间晚于佛光寺东大殿，且规模及复杂度皆不如佛光寺，所以名声较不响亮，但是南禅寺大殿在建筑史上的重要性不容忽视，殿内保存着唐代原貌的塑像，更属中国雕塑史上的经典之作。

(Translated by Google) I met him more than ten years ago. Do you know where this monk lives now? I will go to Wutai Mountain next month and want to meet him. (Original) 十多年前見過不知道這位和尚現在住那里？ 我下個月到五台山想要見面。
