Yanmenguan

4.7/5
8.2k reviews

Yanmenguan, located approx. 30 km northwest of Dai County in Xinzhou, is a pass on the inner Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty, andNingwu Pass, together with Pianguan, they are known as the "three outer passes". There is no public transportation from Dai County town to the attraction, so you can only get there by private charter. Inside the attraction, you have to rely entirely on walking.YanmenguanSince ancient times, it has been a crucial pass for the Central Plains dynasties to defend against invasions from northern nomadic tribes. Its earliest history can be traced back to the Warring States period when King Wuling of Zhao fought against the Xiongnu here. Han Dynasty generals Li Guang, Wei Qing, and Huo Qubing once led troops to battle the Xiongnu in this area. During the Northern Song Dynasty,YanmenguanIt became the main battlefield between the Song and Liao dynasties, and the prototype of the well-known story of the Yang family generals took place here. A statue of Yang Liulang stands in the attraction. ExistingYanmenguanIt was built in the seventh year of the Hongwu era of the Ming Dynasty (1374) (with multiple reconstructions in recent years). Currently, there are three gates (east gate, west gate, and small north gate). A wild goose tower stands atop the east gate, and the lintel of the small north gate (i.e., the barbican gate) is inscribed with "Yanmenguan"Three large characters flanked by brick-carved couplets: 'Foremost strategic pass in three frontiers, most revered fortress among nine passes,' both inscribed by the great calligrapher Fu Shan of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. You can visit the ruins of Ming and Qing military barracks on the hill north of the fortress. To the right outside the west gate areGuan Yu templeOutside the east gate stands the Jingbian Temple, dedicated to Li Mu, a renowned general of the Zhao state during the Warring States period. If you are a fan of the Great Wall, when you visit Yanmenguan, you can walk along the ancient pass trail here. The ancient pass trail in the attraction is built along the local mountain terrain, winding through the peaks. Climbing this section of the trail may be slightly tiring for those who usually work in offices, but when you ascend a peak along the ancient path and gaze at the vast expanse of withered grass outside the pass, quietly feeling the weight of history, you'll find the physical effort well worth it. There are some farmhouse inns near Yanmenguan that can provide food and stay, but most visitors return to Dai County or go to other counties or cities for accommodation. Walking the ancient pass consumes a lot of energy, so you can bring some dry food and drinking water.

4.6/5
8.6k reviews

Wu Tai Shan is located in Wutai County, Xinzhou City. It is named for its five peaks, whose summits are flat like platforms and cluster together. As the sacred site of Bodhisattva Manjushri, it is dotted with numerous temples and is one of China's Four Sacred Buddhist Mountains. It is also a well-known summer resort, with a cool and pleasant climate in summer. What makes it unique is the coexistence of Yellow Temples (Tibetan Buddhism) and Blue Temples (Han Buddhism); visitors can see both Han Buddhist monks and Tibetan lamas, and this pattern of Han and Tibetan Buddhism coexisting is quite rare among China's sacred Buddhist mountains. If the five fingers are likened to the towering "Five Terraces," the palm is Taihuai Town—the geographic center of the attraction, where most temples are concentrated and which serves as the main base for visitors. To the northwest of the town lies a cluster of essential temples, which can be explored on foot or by the attraction's eco-friendly shuttle bus. The Great White Stupa of Tayuan Temple is the landmark structure of the attraction; in front of the gate of Luohou Temple stand a pair of ancient stone lions; Xiantong Temple is the largest Qingmiao (Chinese Buddhist) temple on the mountain; and Pusading is a highly representative Yellow Hat (Tibetan Buddhist) monastery. From Taihuai Town, crossing the Qingshui River to the north, you reach Dailuoding. Ascending the Dazhi Road with over a thousand stone steps, you can pay homage to the Five Directional Manjushri statues, known as the "Little Pilgrimage," or take a round-trip cable car. Heading south along the road, Bishan Temple is a Ten Directions Zen Monastery, housing a Burmese jade Buddha and a statue of the future Buddha Maitreya; Shuxiang Temple contains a tall painted clay statue of Manjushri; Nanshan Temple is renowned for its dazzling array of stone carvings and offers distant views of the South, North, and Central Terraces. Zhenhai Temple is serene and secluded, preserving painted murals within, and local folklore tells of legends related to Emperor Shunzhi's renunciation. In addition to the main temples above, there are also Nanchan Temple, Longquan Temple, Baiyun Temple, and others on the mountain, each with its own distinctive features. If you wish to reach the summit of the five terraces—known as the "Great Pilgrimage to the Terraces"—the East Terrace, Wanghai Peak, is a great place to watch the sunrise, with spectacular views of the sea of clouds and the rising sun; the South Terrace is covered with wildflowers in summer; on the West Terrace on an autumn night, the moon hangs like a mirror above the peak; the North Terrace is a high peak in North China and an excellent spot for enjoying snowy scenery, offering panoramic views of the surrounding mountains after snowfall.

Foguang Temple was rebuilt in the tenth year of Emperor Xuanzong's reign in Tang Dynasty (856). In terms of construction time, it is second only to the main hall of Nanchan Temple in Wutai County, which was built in the third year of Tang Jianzhong (AD 782). The existing wooden structure in the country Second place in the building. The Tang Dynasty buildings, Tang Dynasty sculptures, Tang Dynasty murals, and Tang Dynasty inscriptions in Foguang Temple are of high historical and artistic value, and are called "Four Wonders". The halls of Foguang Temple are tall and stacked on top of each other, and the layout is sparse, with clear priorities. The east hall stands on a high platform, and there are 35 painted sculptures of the Tang Dynasty on the Buddhist altar in the hall. Sakyamuni Buddha sits in the center of the Buddhist altar, Amitabha Buddha is on the right, Maitreya Buddha is on the left, and the two Bodhisattvas are Samantabhadra and Manjusri. This is different from ordinary temples. In general temples, Manjushri is on the left and Samantabhadra is on the right. However, in all the temples in Foguang Temple and Mount Wutai, Manjusri is on the right and Samantabhadra is on the left. The Bodhisattva Servant and the Bodhisattva in the hall are both daughters, and there is a little red dot in the middle of the crooked eyebrows, which looks quite charming. In front of the inner wall surrounding the Buddhist altar, there are 500 Arhats, shaped for the Ming Dynasty, which are "sketches" of the same size. It is worth noting that there is a Tang Dynasty mural on the back of the Buddha seat. This painting is 80 cm long and 30 cm high. It depicts the story of the heavenly king subduing demons and ghosts. In the middle stands a woman wearing a flower crown and looking panic. Although this painting is more than a thousand years old, its color is still fresh.

There are seven round lights on the painting, and there are 10 Buddha statues in each round light, and the names of the Buddhas are also written in the boxes under the round lights. The title on the left: "Liu Taizhi, a Buddhist disciple of Foguangzhuang... Xuanhe four years in early March..."

Nanchan Temple

4.5/5
66 reviews

Nanchan Temple, located in Lijia Village, Yangbai Township, Wutai County, is a rare national treasure in terms of architecture, statues and brick carvings. Nanchan Temple has the oldest existing wooden structure in my country, the Great Buddha Hall. It is the oldest building among the ancient buildings in Mount Wutai. According to the inscription on the beam of the hall, it can be determined that the hall was rebuilt in the third year of Tang Dezong Jianzhong (782 AD), which has a history of more than one thousand years. The Great Buddha Hall is the main building of Nanchan Temple, sharing twelve eaves pillars to support the huge roof. The stigmas of the surrounding eaves and columns are slightly inward, and the four corner columns are slightly higher, so that the arches protruding from each layer are lifted up, and the ends of the ridge are decorated with owl kisses. The main hall is stable and pretty, with a concise structure and a typical large-scale wooden structure in the mid-Tang Dynasty. In the main hall, you can also admire the statues of the Tang Dynasty. In the hall, there is a statue of Sakyamuni Buddha, and on both sides are two Bodhisattvas, Manjushri and Samantabhadra. Whether it is Manjusri Bodhisattva riding a lion, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva riding an elephant, or Ananda and Kasyapa standing still, all of them have a calm demeanor and lifelike expressions. Around the Buddhist altar, there are dozens of Tang Dynasty brick carvings, all of which are masterpieces of Tang Dynasty brick relief art. There are also two stone lions and stone pagodas in Nanchan Temple, which are also relics of the Tang Dynasty. One is a reclining lion, and the other is in the form of "two lions facing each other"; the stone pagoda is about half a meter high and is divided into five floors.

Dailuoding

4.8/5
787 reviews

Dailuoding Temple is located east of the central temple cluster area in Taihuai Town, perched on the steep mid-mountain ridge of Dailuoding. Commonly known as the "Little Wutai Pilgrimage," Dailuoding Temple offers a condensed version of the sacred circuit. The five peaks of Wutai Mountain each enshrine a distinct statue of Manjushri Bodhisattva. Completing the full pilgrimage to all five summits to worship these statues is called the "Great Wutai Pilgrimage," which requires considerable physical stamina and ample time. At Dailuoding, replicas of all five Manjushri statues are gathered together, allowing visitors to complete their devotional circuit in one location—hence earning it the name "Little Wutai Pilgrimage." To reach Dailuoding, visitors can either walk or take the cable car. There are two walking routes available. Most visitors choose the staircase path called "Great Wisdom Path," which consists of 1,080 steps spanning approximately 500 meters. Devotees believe this path leads to wisdom, and those who walk it will gain intelligence and insight. Alternatively, there is a northern mountain trail that is longer but gentler in slope. After ascending the stone steps, you'll see the archway, stone lions, and mountain gate of Dailuoding. Along the central axis of Dailuoding Temple from west to east are the Heavenly King Hall, Sandalwood Hall (Standing Altar Hall), Five Manjushri Hall, and Mahavira Hall. Inside the Sandalwood Hall, you'll find a unique standing statue of Sakyamuni Buddha on the altar instead of the usual seated posture. The Five Manjushri Hall houses statues of five manifestations of Manjushri: Childlike Manjushri, Stainless Manjushri, Wisdom Manjushri, Intelligent Manjushri, and Lion's Roar Manjushri. From the summit of Dailuoding, you can gaze upon the surrounding scenery, including the four peaks of Wutai (South, West, North, and Central) as well as numerous temples in the central area of Taihuai Town, such as Tayuan Temple, Pusading Temple, Xiantong Temple, and Wanfo Pavilion (part of the Wutai Mountain Scenic Area). Just a few dozen meters below Dailuoding (along the Dazhi Road hiking path), you'll find Shangshancai Cave Temple, an extension of Shancai Cave Temple. Inside Shangshancai Cave lies a large burial ground called "Shituolin," where many monks who took vows at Wutai Mountain are laid to rest.

It is said that drinking the spring water here can help grow wisdom and get rid of folly. When the emperors of the Qing Dynasty came to Wutai Mountain to worship the Buddha on the mountain, they would also drink the spring water.

The hall houses nine main Buddha statues, along with numerous additional and hanging sculptures. In the center stands Sakyamuni, flanked by Kasyapa and Ananda, and Manjusri and Samantabhadra. Two attendant Bodhisattvas flank the two sides, and two Vajra statues flank the outer flanks. The entire ensemble boasts harmonious rhythm and well-proportioned arrangement, creating an exquisite, lifelike, and imaginative image, significantly different from typical replicas and offering valuable insights into traditional sculptural techniques.

"A Child's Heart" When fifty-six mountain songs converge into a mighty river, I hear the bronze chimes awaken in my veins. From the Kunlun snowline to the Nansha reefs, every grain of sand is engraved with the same surname. When high-speed rail traverses the palm lines of the earth, silk weaves a new star map in the clouds. I have touched the hem of the Dunhuang flying apsaras, and am now passing over the blue screen of a quantum computer. The Yellow River transforms oracle bone script into QR codes; scan them and you'll hear the heartbeat of history. And I, on the ridges covered by 5G signals, recite the rhythms of the new era in my local dialect. This land is an everlasting sheet of Xuan paper; every ring of growth holds the key to spring. When the Fuxing bullet train rolls over the ruts of a century, I am the railroad spike, firmly gripping the track.

Our tour guide was warm and polite, even helping us with our bags and looking after our children. Her explanations were simple, easy to understand, and humorous, and she introduced the history and culture of Wutai Mountain to the children, which we listened to with great interest. It gave us a truly wonderful experience.

Teacher Li Zi's explanations were amazing! Having listened to so many explanations of ancient architecture in Shanxi, Teacher Li Zi's is undoubtedly the best I've ever heard. He has a profound understanding of architectural history and many unique insights, which were truly impressive. He even prepared many props to help us understand the structure of the dougong (bracket set) and the load-bearing functions of different structures. Next time I come to Shanxi, I will definitely seek out Teacher Li Zi again.

Nanchansi Temple is a must-visit temple in Xinzhou, often considered one of the two essential temples along with Foguangsi Temple. Entering Nanchansi Temple, I found it exceptionally quiet, perhaps due to off-peak travel. The small courtyard showcased the wisdom left by the ancients. I recommend visiting early, avoiding holidays, as the scenic area isn't large. Besides the statues inside, the exterior structure is also worth seeing.

I came to Mount Wutai with my family for the weekend, so I had to check in at Dailuoding. I had to experience the 1,080-step Dazhi Road. It took me about 40 to 50 minutes to walk with my children, stopping here and there. The scenery on the mountain was beautiful. I could make a wish to Manjushri Bodhisattva and hope that my wish would come true.

The first of the Yellow Temples in Wutai Mountain, it is a must-visit temple when visiting Wutai Mountain. As a royal temple, there are many royal traces in it. The temple is located on the top of a small hill, and it is a bit high to climb up. It is recommended to drive to the back door to enter, and the front door to exit. Going downhill, you can go to Xiantong Temple, the first of the Green Temples.

边靖楼位于山西忻州市代县县城十字街心，居整个古代州城的最高点，是历史上长城险隘雁门关的重要依托和支撑点。是守望瞭敌、指挥作战，具有重要军事价值的建筑，有万里长城第一楼之美誉。楼身可以看到清雍正十一年知州杨弘题写的亚洲第一巨匾“威镇三观”和汤豫题的“声闻四达”匾额。

Shuxiang Temple is probably the largest temple dedicated to Manjushri Bodhisattva that I have seen in many temples across China. The entire temple is very large, and the houses inside are also very unique. Most importantly, here you can see many traces of history, which is very helpful for us to understand Buddhist culture and feel the history of this place.

There is an observation deck on the internal road from the north gate to the south gate of Yanmen Pass, where you can see the panoramic view of Yanmen Pass from the south gate. The through bus from the north gate of the scenic area to Yanmen Pass Station passes by the observation deck when taking the internal road. Such a beautiful scenery can only be seen from the internal road. It's a pity that tourists can't see it. It is recommended that the scenic area study the tourist viewing route. The first picture I found on the Internet, I didn't have time to take a photo on the scenic bus

Hongfu Temple is located in Beishe East Village, Hongdao Town, Dingxiang County, Xinzhou City, Shanxi Province. Its founding date is unknown, but according to inscriptions within the temple, it was built no later than the Northern Song Dynasty, and underwent repairs during the Yuan, Ming, and Qing Dynasties. Hongfu Temple faces south and covers an area of ​​approximately 3200 square meters. Although it has undergone numerous repairs during the Jin, Yuan, Ming, Qing, and modern periods, the preserved Song Dynasty wooden structure remains largely unchanged, making it an important surviving example of Song Dynasty palace architecture in China. The temple is surrounded by high, thick walls and brickwork, with a seven-meter-high rammed earth platform at its base, making it a fortress-style temple, a rarity in ancient Chinese temple architecture and possessing high cultural value. The main hall of Hongfu Temple contains nine clay sculptures, a grand and solemn display, representing masterpieces of Song Dynasty painted sculpture art with profound historical and artistic value.

Mount Wutai in October is surprisingly uncrowded! It truly lives up to its name as the "Cool Mountain"

“There are no crowds of people praying in the temples, just a serene and elegant atmosphere✨ The red walls and grey tiles nestled in the mountains make the daytime scenery absolutely stunning🏔️ The autumn trees have turned golden, and paired with the red architecture in the distance, it's a sight to behold!🍁 Go now while it's quiet, or you'll have to wait another year~”
