Wutai Mountain is one of the four famous Buddhist mountains in China. The following is a brief introduction of Wutai Mountain tourist attractions I have compiled, hoping to help everyone!

Wutai Mountain Scenic Area is located in the northeast of Wutai County, Shanxi Province. The five peaks in the east, west, south, north and middle are called Wutai. Within the Five Peaks, it is called Taiwan Province. The average elevation is above 1000 meters, and the highest point, Yemen Peak in Beitai, is 3058 meters above sea level, which is called "the roof of North China". It is a tourist area integrating natural scenery, historical relics, ancient architecture art, Buddhist culture, folk customs and valley customs, and summer vacation and leisure.

Wutai Mountain Scenic Spot in Shanxi has successively won the honors of National Key Scenic Spot, National Geopark, National Natural and Cultural Heritage and National AAAAA-level Tourist Attraction.

1, Buddhist holy land

Wutai Mountain has many cultural relics and historic sites. Since Yongping (1 1) in the Eastern Han Dynasty, temples have been built in all dynasties. At present, there are still 47 temple buildings with different styles in eight dynasties since the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty (four of them are under state protection: Xiantong Temple, Bodhisattva Temple, Bishan Temple and Tayuan Temple, and six are under provincial protection: Jinge Temple, Dushi Temple, Yuanzhao Temple and Tayuan Temple). There are a large number of precious cultural relics, such as Buddha statues, plaques, murals, stupas, Tibetan scriptures and so on. These are creative masterpieces of human beings, which have witnessed the successful evolution of Buddhism in China and its spread in East Asia in the past two thousand years, and can be regarded as an outstanding example of traditional Buddhist architecture and its spatial layout in China. Wutai Mountain has become the Buddhist capital of China, the epitome of China Buddhism and the center of international Buddhist culture.

2. Summer resort

Wutai Mountain has a warm temperate monsoon continental climate with four distinct seasons, with an average annual temperature of 4℃ and an average summer temperature of 16.5℃. The top of Wutai Mountain belongs to the alpine climate, with an annual average temperature of -4.2℃ and an extreme minimum temperature of -44.8℃. Wutai Mountain has a freezing period of 280 days, a frost-free period of 72 days, and a winter of about 9 months. The annual rainfall is 960mm, and the rainfall is highly concentrated in June-August. Taihang Mountain is the region with the lowest temperature, the most precipitation, and the largest humidity and wind power. Therefore, Wutai Mountain, known as "Liang Qing", is an ideal summer resort.

3. Revolutionary Holy Land

During War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Border Administrative Committee, the Military Command and other important revolutionary organizations were established and stationed here. The older generation of proletarian revolutionaries such as, Zhu De and Ren and the international proletarian revolutionary Bethune all fought or lived here. Mao Zedong Luju Memorial Hall, the former site of Chaji Border Command, Bethune Model Ward and many other remains of revolutionary sites are still well preserved, which is an important base for carrying out revolutionary traditional education and patriotism education.

4. Geological popular science base

Wutai Mountain has an ancient geological structure, and it is the highest mountain range known in the world, which is composed of more than 2.5 billion years old strata. It completely recorded the 700-million-year paleoproterozoic geological evolution history of the earth between18-25 billion years, and preserved 29 typical ancient planation planes and periglacial glaciers in eastern Asia. It is an important example to study the evolution of Cenozoic geological environment and paleoclimate change, and it is also a typical area of Archean and Proterozoic geological boundary for more than 2.5 billion years, which is called "nature". The geological value of Wutai Mountain has been widely concerned and recognized by international academic circles, and it has been listed as the earth science teaching base in Peking University. The five platforms in the south, west, north and middle of Shandong are surrounded by a ring with a ring base of more than 500 miles. Among them, the Ye Dou Peak in Beitai, known as the "Roof of North China", has the highest altitude of 306 1 m, and the glacier landform is well preserved. Cui Yan Peak in China and Thailand, with huge stones piled up, is known as the "dragon turning over the stone" and is an extremely rare geological wonder. Taiwan Province's Gua Yue Feng, Dongtai's Wanghaishan and South Taiwan Province's Jinxiu Peak have different scenery and have important geological research value.

5. Festival activities

In recent years, Wutai Mountain holds a large-scale festival and special tourism project of "one meeting and one festival a year" every autumn and winter. "One year" is the year of Buddhism and custom, which lasts from the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month to the eighteenth day of the first month of the following year. During this period, a series of Buddhist and folk activities with local characteristics will be held. "For a while" is the Qizhi Temple Fair in Wu Ye, which is held from the first day of May to the 30th of May in the lunar calendar. Through local opera performances and Buddhist cultural activities, the unique local culture of Wutai Mountain is fully displayed.

Among them, the characters on the cliff, after being wetted with water, are carefully wiped with a handkerchief, and the handwriting similar to seal script will appear on the cliff surface, and the water is dry and the characters are hidden.

Someone once removed the stone layer from the epidermis, and as a result, the words could be erased from the lower layer. If there are different levels, the words are different.

The ancients said, "climb to the top of Dongtai and enjoy the sea." . Watching the sunrise in Dongtai is a major landscape of Wutai Mountain tourism. Among the sunrises, "Sunrise in the Sea of Clouds" is the most spectacular. When the weather is fine in summer, when dawn comes, you can see the red sun bursting out at the end of the sea of clouds.
