Wuye Temple
Yyjw2000Wuye Temple, also known as the Five Dragon Kings Hall and the Ten Thousand Buddhas Pavilion, is located in the center of Taihuai Town, Wutai County, Xinzhou City, Shanxi Province. It was built in the 44th year of the Wanli reign of the Ming Dynasty (1616) and was once a temple affiliated with the Pagoda Temple. It was rebuilt in the Qing Dynasty and changed to the Yellow Temple.
The spatial structure of the Wuye Temple is composed of the Manjusri Hall, the Wuye Hall, the Ten Thousand Buddhas Pavilion, the monks' quarters, and the stage. The Wuye Temple is located north and south. The main buildings are the Five Dragon Kings Hall and the Manjusri Hall. It covers a total area of 2,040 square meters. There are 6 halls, 3 tall buildings, 20 monks' quarters, 1 stage, 2 pagodas, and 3 Ming steles. It is one of the most popular temples in Wutai Mountain. The Wuye enshrined in the temple is the legendary Guangji Dragon King Bodhisattva, which is the localized and secularized product of Manjusri Bodhisattva in Taihuai. It carries people's good wishes for a good harvest of crops, no disasters, family health, and everything goes well.
According to folklore, Wuye originally had a black face, but Manjushri Bodhisattva transformed into the Five Dragon Kings in order to help all living beings, so his black face turned into a golden face. The Five Dragon Kings transformed by Manjushri Bodhisattva loved watching plays, so an ancient stage was built opposite the Five Dragon Kings Hall, specifically for Wuye to perform plays.
Shuxiang Temple
Ffcy911Visiting Wutai Mountain is indispensable. Wutai Mountain is a temple complex with many temples and a unique temple of Huang Temple (Tibetan Buddhism) and Qing Temple (Han Buddhism). The five peaks of Wutai Mountain (Dongtai Wanghaifeng, Nantai Jinxiufeng, Zhongtai Cuiyanfeng, Xitai Hangyuefeng, Beitai Yedoufeng) are like five fingers, and the palm of the palm is Taihuai Town, most of the temples are also here. Many people come here in a hurry, often come to the temple here in Taihuai Town. Shuxiang Temple, with Xiantong Temple, Tayuan Temple, Bodhisattva Ding, Luoyu Temple is not five major Zen places, but also Wutai Mountain Qing Temple one of the ten major temples. The temple, which was named because of the worship of Wenshu Bodhisattva, is said to have been built in the Tang Dynasty and expanded in the Yuan Dynasty, and was later destroyed in fire, and repaired in Mingxuan for six years. The most famous is Wenshu Pavilion (that is, the Great Hall). The statue of Wenshu riding a lion is worshipped on the Buddha stage in the middle of the temple. The total height is9.87 meters. This is the tallest statue of Wenshu in all the temples in Wutai Mountain. It is the remains of the classic works of Wenshu riding a lion in the Ming Dynasty. This time it is not very coincidental, the building behind the Dawenzhu Hall is under maintenance, and it is not possible to visit, a little regrettable.

From the 20th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty to the 15th year of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, it was once called Daluoding. In the 15th year of Qianlong, it was renamed Dailuoding and has been used ever since. To reach Dailuoding, you must climb Dazhi Road, which is made of bluestone and has a total of 1,080 steps.

This road is as steep as a ladder to heaven. As you climb up gradually, you can overlook the surrounding scenery, which is as vast as riding the wind in the sky. There are many platforms at the twists and turns of the stone steps, and there are small pavilions around the walls. You can rest while climbing and appreciate the scenery of the Buddhist country. On this road, you can often see devout Buddhists bowing their heads with every step.
Guanghua Temple
山山在穷游Entering the Wutai Mountain Scenic Area, you will find that there are really too many places worth visiting.

Dongtai Peak
EE23***41Self-driving to Hongmenyan, you need to walk to the top of Dongtai (when I went there was no shuttle bus), about40-60 minutes to the top of the mountain. Because it is to see the sunrise, it is early and dark and the mountain wind is super strong. Remind people who go behind to bring a flashlight and a thick coat with windshield. Remember to bring a hat, preferably with ear covers, gloves, non-slip shoes, eat something up the mountain, don't climb the low blood sugar. The scenery on the mountain is beautiful, but you must protect yourself not to freeze out. I went in October and there was already snow on the mountain.
