    "The scenery of Wutai Mountain is still beautiful. I chose the booking of the Trip.com platform again. I can rest assured and feel at ease when I go out. The hotel accommodation part has also been upgraded a lot more than the farmhouse conditions that went to the last time. The number of people in our tour team is not very large. There are only 14 of our group friends in the more than 30-seat car. This trip to Wutai Mountain, I was fortunate to meet Song guide, the explanation and service are very careful, And the monastery visit schedule is flexible, vivid explanation is looking forward to my next trip."
    Wutai.Wuye Temple
    96.4km from downtown
    No. 1 of Summer Outings
    Highlights: Mount Wutai is one of China’s famous Buddhist scenic spots and even contains the bodhimanda (place of enlightenment) of the bodhisattva Manjushri. Taihuai Town is at the geographical center of the Mount Wutai scenic area and serves as the lodging and dining center for the area. Most of the temples are also clustered here, so it is a must-visit for travelers here. Visitors typically stay in Taihuai for 2-3 days, which allows plenty of time to visit the main temples.

    "Self-driving pit avoidance key: Navigate to the north gate, because the core scenic spot is near the north gate of the scenic spot. Don't navigate to the south gate, otherwise you have to take an extra one-way nearly 4 kilometers of mountain climbing trail, and you need to go back and forth, because you need to return to pick up the car. The north gate needs to do small traffic (10 yuan round trip), and then walk hundreds to the north gate of Guancheng. Scenic walking tour route: Guancheng of Qimenguan, in the two mountains and a ditch, built with the mountain, the city wall of Guancheng, into an irregular rectangular shape (or flattened ring), the circumference of more than 5 kilometers. Need to climb for about 2 hours. The north gate of Guancheng is the Austrian Gate, and the south gate is the Tianxian Gate. The two gates are about 100 meters apart. For friends traveling by car, there are three ways to play: the first one, if there are elderly and children, it is recommended to only see two city gates. For tour groups, the tour guide only explained this small paragraph. The second type is better physical strength: from the geopolis gate to the end of the Tianxian gate, climb the east halfway, go to the direction of the Wild Goose Pagoda and the stele forest, go to the geopolis gate downstairs, about an hour, and the west halfway is more challenging and the slope is large. The third type: the whole journey of the Guancheng city wall takes about two hours. From Tianxianmen to the south gate ticket office of the scenic spot, the trail is about 4 kilometers long, and there is nothing to circle the scenic spot. The tour guide map of the scenic spot has a lot of mistakes or misleading, and I hope to improve it."
    Dai County
    86.3km from downtown
    Highlights: Yanmen Pass is located 20 km north of Daixian in Shanxi Province. It is one of the most important passes along the Great Wall of China. In 2001, Yanman Pass was designated as a Key National Cultural Site by the Chinese government. It was first built during the reign of the Hongwu Emperor in the early Ming dynasty and was continuously expanded over the centuries.

    "Very fun experience. I thought the cliff plank road was a flat mountainside plank road, but it was very exciting to shake hands and feet and then drill the cave with a short body. It was not easy to travel for two hours. The autumn scenery of Luya Mountain is beautiful."
