Wutai Mountain Tourism Planning Route
Tourism planning route of Wutai Mountain in
Wutai Mountain is located in Wutai County, Xinzhou City, Shanxi Province, ranking first among the four famous Buddhist mountains in China. Then, the following is the tourism planning route of Wutai Mountain that I have compiled for you. Welcome to refer to it.
Meeting Wutai Mountain for the first time
Wutai Mountain is located in Wutai County, Xinzhou City, Shanxi Province, ranking first among the four famous Buddhist mountains in China. Wutai Mountain is the Dojo of Manjusri Bodhisattva. It is also known as the four famous Buddhist mountains with Putuo Mountain in Zhejiang, Jiuhua Mountain in Anhui and Emei Mountain in Sichuan, and ranks first among the four famous Buddhist mountains with its long history and culture and large-scale temple architecture.
Wutai Mountain belongs to the northern end of Taihang Mountain system, which spans Wutai County, Fan Shi, Daixian County, Yuanping City and Dingxiang County of Xinzhou City. Wutai Mountain is composed of ancient crystalline rocks, with deep cuts in the north, towering five peaks and flat peaks, so it is called Wutai _ Wanghaishan in Dongtai, Guayuefeng in Xitai, Jinxiu Peak in Nantai, Coconut Peak in Beitai and Cuiyan Peak in Zhongtai. Outside the five peaks, it is called outside Taiwan, and inside the five peaks, it is called inside Taiwan, with Taihuai Town as the center. Wutai has a circumference of about 250 kilometers and a total area of 2,837 square kilometers. Among the five stations, Beitai is the highest, and the top of Beitai is 306 1. 1 m above sea level, which is known as the "roof of North China". The climate in the mountains is cold, there is ice at the top of the platform all year round, and the weather is cool in midsummer, so it is also called Liang Qingshan, which is a summer resort.
Wutai Mountain is one of the earliest places of Buddhist architecture in China. At present, there are 47 temples in and outside Taiwan Province. Among them, North Temple and nanzenji are the two earliest existing wooden structures in China. Xiantong Temple, Tayuan Temple, Bodhisattva Top, Shuxiang Temple and Luo _ Temple are listed as "Five Zen Places in Wutai Mountain". Wutai Mountain is also the only Buddhist Dojo in China where Han Buddhism and Tibetan Buddhism coexist. In midsummer, pilgrims from home and abroad come here to burn incense and worship Buddha.
One-day tour of Wutai Mountain
Suggested order: Wu Ye Temple-Xiantong Temple-Tayuan Temple-Bodhisattva Top-Dailuoding (optional)-Nanshan Temple.
Many friends want to go to Wutai Mountain when they travel to Shanxi! Traveling to Wutai Mountain not only knows how to play, but also can only play for one day when time is tight. How to better arrange the trip? The following is my summary of Wutai Mountain's daytime travel strategy, hoping to help everyone.
As early as driving from all over the country or traveling with a group to Wutai Mountain, first of all, I sincerely worshipped Wu Ye Temple (10 minutes-1 hour). Wu Ye Temple is the most popular temple in Wutai Mountain. Basically, visitors to Wutai Mountain burn incense and worship. There is free incense at the door. Be careful not to receive the incense handed by others after entering the temple.
Then pay homage to the Bodhisattva Peak, the dragon head of Wutai Mountain, and the palaces where emperors lived in previous dynasties (1 hour), and then visit the statue temple where Manjusri Bodhisattva lived, which is the highest, largest and most spiritual in Wutai Mountain. Especially those who have school children at home, they must go to worship.
If you feel comfortable, you can go to Droding (it is recommended to take a cable car, otherwise time is tight), Xiantong Temple, Tayuan Temple and Nanshan Temple. These scenic spots are the must-see attractions of Wutai Mountain.
Two-day tour of praying for blessings in Wutai Mountain
Although it is a bit hasty to visit Wutai Mountain in two days, you can also visit some important temples.
D 1 Wu Ye Temple (Wanfoge) Xiantong Temple Tayuan Temple Bodhisattva Top

Day 1 day
There is a bus to Wutai Mountain at Taiyuan East Bus Station, which runs every 30 minutes. The fare is 43 yuan, and the journey takes about 3 hours. (The coach is private. If there are few passengers, the owner will cancel the trip, especially in the afternoon. ) After arriving in Taihuai Town, you can go to the temple with the most incense, and then visit Xiantong Temple (ticket for 6 yuan), Tayuan Temple (ticket for 4 yuan) and Ding Bodhisattva (ticket for 5 yuan) in turn. Down, turn back from the original road and enter the east gate of Tayuan Temple. After visiting Tayuan Temple, from the south gate to the east, visit Wanfo Pavilion. You can stay in the hostel in Taihuai Town at night.

In the morning, take a one-day tour bus from Taihuai Town and visit Nanshan Temple (ticket for 4 yuan), Longquan Temple (ticket for 4 yuan), Puhua Temple and Shuxiang Temple. You can also choose to go to Donghai Mountain to watch the sunrise in the morning, and then go to Bishan Temple. Go back to Taihuai Town for a short rest at noon, and walk about 5km in the afternoon to Zhenhai Temple, Puhua Temple Temple and Nanshan Temple (the stone carvings of Youguo Temple in the temple are very famous, which is a must for Wutai Mountain). Finally, return to Taiyuan by bus from Taihuai Town.
Three-day tour of Wutai Mountain to worship Buddha
In three days, the main temples and terraces in Wutai Mountain can basically be completed, and the intensity of the trip is moderate, which is more suitable for most leisure travelers.

Matters needing attention in Wutai Mountain tourism
1. Wutai Mountain is a holy place of Buddhism. Whether you believe in Buddhism or not, do as the Romans do, keep quiet and don't make any noise. You should respect the temple rules in the temple.
I came to Wutai Mountain just for sightseeing. Try to avoid vendors selling incense. Don't reach for it if you don't buy it. Sometimes it's hard to get rid of each other's entanglement
3. prepare small change. There are no shops and canteens between the five stops. You need small change for fasting, lodging and worship. However, if you are willing to put large denominations in the merit box, of course no one will object.
No matter you meet monks, nuns, laity, old and young, you can call them "masters".
No matter "Hello, thank you, goodbye", you can say "Amitabha".
6. Wutai Mountain has a large temperature difference in the morning and evening, so it is necessary to prepare warm clothes in advance. High altitude and strong ultraviolet rays, prepare some sunscreen products properly.
7. Wutaishan Road pays more attention to safety.
8. For sightseeing, please go to the travel agency to hire a licensed tour guide or download the Wisdom Wutai Mountain APP to reserve a tour guide (it also provides pilgrims with one-stop services such as hotel accommodation, catering, Wutai Mountain tickets, Taiwan Province tickets, ropeway tickets, ticket display, tour guide reservation, taxi reservation, etc.). ), and refused to use unlicensed tour guides and refused the "body protection card" and "gold ingot" presented by strangers.
9. Please choose clearly marked goods and services for tourism consumption, and be cautious about those that are not clearly marked.
Best tourist season
Summer is the best. Wutai Mountain is high in altitude, humid in summer, and often rains. Rain gear is needed to climb the mountain. When you come to the mountains in spring and autumn, you should prepare sweaters and pants. Before April and after 5438+00 in June, there may be snow on some sections of uphill highway, which is difficult to pass. If you are not a Buddhist, it is recommended not to come to Wutai Mountain on the first and fifteenth days of the first year. Nowadays, many people go to Wutai Mountain in winter, and the ice and snow are frozen, which is another style. Especially at 0: 00 on New Year's Day, pray for the whole family.

What's the best way to visit Wutai Mountain?
1, buy a ticket at Taiyuan East Station to go to Wutai Mountain. The fare is around 70 yuan. Don't worry about being slaughtered on the road. Very formal. They are all long-distance buses.
2. Take a bus at Wutaishan coach station when you return to Taiyuan. Generally, the bus goes to the East Station, but when I come back, because the bus station in Wutai Mountain is not standardized, I will occasionally change to another bus in Wutai County to go back to Taiyuan, but there will be no extra money. They usually go back to Taiyuan East Station or Railway Station. There is now a passenger reception center outside Wutai Mountain Scenic Area, and hotels in the scenic area are very expensive, 400 yuan per night is about 168. There is no shortcut unless you climb a mountain. Now the scenic spot is well managed. If you go by yourself, the 200 yuan does not include the accommodation for about one day.
Wutai Mountain is mainly dedicated to Manjusri Bodhisattva, and it is a gathering place of Tibetan Buddhism and Qingjiao. What is it? Because there are too many, I can't tell.
There is a free bus in the tourist reception center to take passengers to the scenic spot.
5. The average temperature in Wutai Mountain is 20 degrees, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is large. You'd better take some coats now, and don't want anything else.
How to choose the route to Wutai Mountain go on road trip?
There are two most suitable routes from Beijing to Wutai Mountain. Here I introduce two most suitable routes from Beijing to Wutai Mountain for reference only.
Line 1 from Beijing to Wutai Mountain
Starting from Beijing, get on the Beijing-Shijiazhuang Expressway at Liuliqiao in Beijing's West Third Ring Road, get off at Dingzhou Expressway, pass Quyang County and Fuping County to the entrance of Wutaishan South Line, and enter Taihuai Town. This is the first route from Beijing to Wutai Mountain. The whole journey is about 385 kilometers and takes about 4 hours.
The above-mentioned routes are mainly in expressway. When I arrived in Dingzhou, I began to take the ordinary road, so the whole journey was relatively easy and shortest. If it is spring, try to leave around 6 am, so as to avoid traffic jams and some big cars. However, although it is the shortest and best route, there are also many high-speed fees. If it's not a free period, it's a fee.
Route 2 from Beijing to Wutai Mountain
Depart from Beijing, go to Liuliqiao in Beijing's West Third Ring Road, take the outer ring road after Baoding North Exit, then go out of the city along Shunping Road, continue to the entrance of Wang Du, Tangxian and Fuping County, go to the south line of Wutai Mountain, and enter Taihuai Town. The whole journey is 370 kilometers, less than before 15 kilometers, but it takes 5.5 hours.
This subgrade is originally from expressway, and it is an ordinary highway starting from Baoding, saving about15km, but the route is somewhat compromised and the time is slightly wasted. As long as the road conditions are good, it is actually a good choice.
Problems needing attention in self-driving Wutai Mountain tourism
If you plan to enter Wutai Mountain in July and August, you may not be allowed to drive up the mountain. You can only park your car in the parking lot at the foot of the mountain and buy a ticket to go up the mountain. Although it is also a situation, it may be a torment for people who are not good at long-distance walking.
Besides, the climate in the mountains is different from that outside. Even if it is clear in Wan Li thousands of miles away, heavy rain and hail may suddenly appear in mountainous areas, so we should be prepared. The advantage of traveling on the road is that you can prepare a lot of emergency supplies. The above is the reference route of Wutai Mountain in the road trip, for reference only.
