As a mainlander, I feel the most famous is Mount Hengshan, one of the five mountains. The Hanging Temple in Mount Hengshan is quite famous. There is also Wutai Mountain, a famous Buddhist mountain in northern Shanxi, which is said to be the Dojo of Manjushri. I have heard of Huoshan and Mianshan, but they are not famous. Sorry, I haven't been to any of the above mountains.

I think the famous mountains in Shanxi should be Wutai Mountain and Beiwudang Mountain. Among these two mountains, Wutai Mountain is one of the four Buddhist holy places. When I was a child, I liked watching Yue Fei Biography and Yang Jiajiang. Among them, Yang Jiajiang wrote a story about Yang Jiye leading the Yang family, seven wolves and eight tigers to fight against Liao, and there was a story about Yang Wulang becoming a monk in Wutai Mountain, so I was very impressed with Wutai Mountain. I will definitely go to Wutai Mountain to worship the Buddha when I have the opportunity. North Wudang Mountain is a Taoist holy place, and there are many famous mountains in Shanxi, which are worth visiting.

Wutai Mountain: Wutai Mountain belongs to the northern end of Taihang Mountain system and consists of a series of mountains and peaks. Five of the peaks are as flat as a platform, hence the name Wutai. Because of the cold climate on the mountain, there is still no heat in midsummer, so it is also called Qingliang Mountain. Wutai Mountain is the only Buddhist Dojo in China, with 47 temples, 39 in Taiwan and 8 outside Taiwan. The famous ones are Xiantong Temple, Tayuan Temple, Bodhisattva Temple, Nanshan Temple, Dailuoding, Guangji Temple and Wanfo Pavilion.

Mianshan: This is the birthplace of China Tomb-Sweeping Day (Cold Food Festival), with the highest elevation of 2,56 meters, which is a branch of Taiyue Mountain. Mianshan originated in the Spring and Autumn Period, when the Jin state meson tui and his mother lived in seclusion and were burned on the mountain. In the early Tang Dynasty, there was a considerable Buddhist Zen forest. Religious buildings in architectural groups include temples and palaces; Garden buildings include pavilions, terraces, buildings and pavilions.

On the shiping, which is only about 1 square meters around the top of the main peak of Luya Mountain, a cube-shaped stone building stands tall, which is the Prince's Hall.

Hengshan Mountain: Hunyuan County, where Hengshan Mountain is located, has a temperate and semi-arid continental climate, which is experienced twice.
