The skies at Mount Wutai 五台山 are always magical and beautiful. White clouds amidst blue skies. Going for Da Chao Tai 大朝台 At the foot of the mountain, at Nan Shan Si temple, 山脚下，南山寺, the bus company can arrange the temples you want to go for Da Chao Tai 大朝台 and cater to your interest. Otherwise, book the Da Chao Tai 大朝台 with your hotel. But this route is planned by the bus company. It is freezing in the five peaks so winter wear is a must. Note: After the China National Day, once it starts to snow, all five peaks will be closed until April the following year. Those who want to go for Da Chao Tai 大朝台 have to plan their trip in advance.

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) Being able to visit Foguang Temple, which has a history of more than a thousand years, and look at the ancient temples, statues, giant pines, and pagodas... are all touching! The Tang Dynasty statues, murals and calligraphy inscriptions in the East Hall and Manjusri Hall are a collection of cultural relics from the Tang Dynasty. They are worthy of being China's first national treasure. (Original) 能夠親臨超過千年歷史的佛光寺，看著古寺. 神像. 巨松. 佛塔... 無一不感動！東大殿與文殊殿中唐代塑像、壁畫和墨書題記，集唐代文物於一身，中國第一國寶當之無愧。

(Translated by Google) Foguang Temple, which Mr. Liang Sicheng calls "China's first national treasure", is one of the only three wooden buildings in the Tang Dynasty in China. Japanese scholars at the time said that there were no wooden buildings in China before the Tang Dynasty. If you want to see it, you have to go to Japan. Nara, Liang Sicheng and others came to Shanxi four times and finally discovered Foguang Temple! Liang Sicheng said: Looking at the main hall, I was surprised by the surprise, and said: Discovering Foguang Temple is the happiest moment in my life! Today, with Teacher Wang from the Shanxi Institute of Ancient Architecture, I appreciated the structural beauty and exquisiteness of the wooden buildings of the Tang Dynasty, and once again marveled at the exquisite skills of ancient craftsmen! (Original) 被梁思成先生称为“中国第一国宝”的佛光寺，是中国仅有的三座唐代木构建筑之一，当时的日本学者说中国没有唐代以前的木构建筑，如果要看，要去日本奈良，梁思成等人四次来到山西，终于发现了佛光寺！梁思成说：瞻仰大殿，咨嗟惊喜，并说：发现佛光寺是我一生最幸福的几个瞬间！ 今天跟山西古建筑研究院的王老师，领略了唐代木建筑的结构之美，结构之精巧，再一次感叹古代工匠的精湛技艺！

(Translated by Google) It shattered the rumor that "Tang Dynasty buildings were built in Japan", and also allowed the world to admire the Tang Dynasty's far-reaching eaves and gentle lifts, which cannot be imitated by the "big-headed dolls" of Japanese-style architecture. (Original) 粉碎了“大唐建筑在倭”的谣言，也让世人得以瞻仰唐构出檐深远，举折平缓的大气，这是倭风建筑那种“大头娃娃”所不能模仿的。

(Translated by Google) Charter a car from Taiyuan Wusu Airport to go north to Mount Wutai for a pilgrimage, and stop by to visit this ancient temple. Looking back on this pilgrimage to the temples in Mount Wutai, Foguang Temple is the most peaceful and makes me nostalgic for the ancient times. (Original) 從太原武宿機場包車北上五台山朝聖，徒中順道一遊此古寺。 回顧此次五台山寺廟群朝聖之旅，佛光寺最為寧靜益發思古幽情。

(Translated by Google) The brackets and eaves of the east hall are too overwhelming. The Tang Dynasty murals and clay sculptures inside are also worth seeing and are of extremely high value. There are also Northern Wei Dynasty stone pagodas and Jin Dynasty buildings. I hope to come again if I have the opportunity. (Original) 東大殿的鬥拱和出檐，太overwhelming。裡面的唐代壁畫和泥塑也很值得一看，具有極高價值。另有北魏石塔和金代建築，希望有機會可以再來。

(Translated by Google) Maybe you can only go there by car or chartered car, it’s really not easy to get there. The building components here are completely different from those in the Ming and Qing dynasties. The functional role is particularly obvious. There is no redundancy at all. Every time a component is reduced, the structure will suffer. (Original) 也许只能开车或者包车去吧，确实不太好到。 这里的建筑构件完全不同于明清，功能性作用特别明显，感觉没有丝毫的冗余，每减少一个构件都会让结构受到损失。

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) In the Shuxiang Temple, the colorful statue of Manjusri riding a Suan Ni is extremely solemn and majestic, and even Wei Tuo Zuntian on the side is lifelike. The story of five hundred Arhats crossing the river is depicted on the wall of the temple. Shuxiang Temple was built in the early years of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and renovated in the Tang and Ming dynasties. It is considered to be the ancestral palace of Manjushri Bodhisattva in Mount Wutai. (Original) 殊像寺內彩塑文殊騎狻猊像極莊嚴威儀，連一旁的韋馱尊天皆栩栩如生，殿內殿壁上塑造了五百羅漢渡江的故事。殊像寺建於東晉初年，唐、明代年間皆有重修，並被認為是文殊菩薩在五台山的祖庭。

Didn’t go there to respect Buddha. The temples were overcrowded. Instead I went to hike in east part of the mountain. The skies at sunset were fantastic .

Willing to visit soon

It is holy place Of Bodhisattva Manjushree.many Chinese Buddhist come here to pray .

(Translated by Google) —Wutai Mountain, Shanxi— After climbing Mount Tai in Shandong and visiting an investment conference in Shanxi, one of the coal bosses from Shanxi, who I liked, invited me to take his private SUV Kaiyan from Taiyuan to Mount Wutai and gave me a string of Buddhist beads! In fact, the impression of Mount Wutai was only from the concept of the prosperity of Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty. Unexpectedly, when I climbed up to the Daxiantong Temple, which is more than 3,000 meters high, I realized that it had been standing here during the Eastern Han Dynasty. It turns out that Mount Wutai has been the center of Buddhism in China since the Han and Tang Dynasties. Since then, it has been built repeatedly throughout the dynasties. At its peak, there were more than 300 temples, which shows its large scale. At present, most of the temples have disappeared, leaving only 39 temples in Taiwan! The scenery along the way is like a traditional Chinese painting! The scenery of loess, horses, cattle and sheep grazing, especially the scenery of horses, cattle and sheep grazing on the loess hillsides, is like the stamps made of traditional Chinese paintings in the past. I still collect them. When I climbed all the way from the foot of the mountain to the red-walled slope road, and approached the top of the mountain to reach Daxiantong Temple, although it felt difficult, I always felt that others could climb it and I could do it, so I was already sweating under my clothes, but I ended the walk happily. #大xiantongsi #Ta Yuan Temple #BudhisattvaDing Two-day trip to Shanxi Qiao Family Courtyard and Pingyao Ancient City. If you are a monkey this year, you must come to Mount Wutai to worship Sakyamuni Buddha. The white pagoda is dedicated to the relics of Sakyamuni Buddha. Sakyamuni Buddha will bless the monkeys!

(Translated by Google) Mount Wutai, located in Wutai County, Shanxi Province, China, is one of the four most famous Buddhist holy mountains in China. It boasts a long history and is considered the most important of the four. The mountain consists of five flat peaks, known as the "Five-tiered" peaks: the East, West, South, North, and Central. The highest peak, the North Peak, rises approximately 3,058 meters above sea level, earning it the nickname "Roof of Northern China." Wutai boasts a natural beauty, with its cool climate, ancient temples nestled among the trees, and numerous stone carvings and paintings. The mountain is a national nature reserve and a popular summer retreat due to its refreshing air. Culturally, Mount Wutai has been a significant Buddhist site for over 1,000 years. It is believed to be the residence of the Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara (Amitabha). It houses over 40 temples, some of which are the oldest wooden structures in China, and boasts numerous artistic treasures, such as the Great White Pagoda, dating back to the Eastern Han Dynasty. Mount Wutai is also a site of a fusion of Han and Tibetan Buddhism, attracting pilgrims from both China and abroad, from Korea, Japan, Mongolia, India, Nepal, and Sri Lanka. In 2009, Mount Wutai was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and recognized as an important cultural and natural heritage site in China.

(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.
