The scenery of Xinzhou Ancient City is pleasant, especially the night view, which is both lively and warm and romantic. The food in the snack street is delicious. There are also various acrobatic performances in the scenic area. The most worthwhile check-in is the iron flower performance, which is simply shocking. The masters are all skilled and very professional, and the effect is great. We are in awe of the great heritage left by our ancestors. It is worth recommending to visit here for sightseeing!

Because I didn't understand the seating arrangement, I struggled for a long time when placing the order. Here's the picture for your reference. The middle part of the audience area is an aisle. The first row above the aisle has the most expensive tickets, as shown in Picture 1. Picture 2 is the second most expensive, Picture 3 is the third most expensive, and Picture 4 has the most tickets and is the most economical. Picture 1, 2, and 3 are all in the middle of the audience area, with a total of five rows near the green and blue in Picture 5. Warm reminder: The theater is near the visitor center in the Wutai Mountain Scenic Area. After 5 pm that day, the scenic area bus showed that it was out of power and could only go down the mountain empty to charge. Friends who want to take the bus from the temple group near the Wuye Temple to the visitor center to watch the show basically can't get on the bus. We found a local car that is convenient for tourists so that we can enter the venue before the show starts. If we don't take a local car and wait to take the bus, we will be like the dozen or so audiences next door, who arrive at the theater almost after the show. DDDD
Epidemic control has been gradually relaxed, and the performances at Mount Wutai have also resumed. Compared with the performance three years ago, it seems that the duration has been shortened and part of the plot has been deleted. But the essence of the show is still preserved. The ticket price is now cheaper than before. There are fewer activities at night in Mount Wutai, so it is a good choice to watch this performance. It is about a 15-minute walk from the Marriott Hotel.

Guanghua Temple is a temple with a long history and unique architectural style, with high historical and cultural value.
Guanghua Temple is located in the Wutai Mountain Scenic Area. It was built in the 12th year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty (1886) and is a typical Huangjiao temple with the architectural style of the Qing Dynasty. The temple faces south and its main buildings include the Manjusri Hall and the Mahavira Hall. These buildings were rebuilt in the Qing Dynasty and retain the characteristics of the integration of Han Buddhism and Tibetan Buddhism. Guanghua Temple is not only one of the "Ten Yellow Temples" in Wutai Mountain, but also one of the five places of Zhangjia Living Buddha, which has an important historical status.
The architectural style of Guanghua Temple is unique. Although the overall architectural pattern is that of the Han nationality, the Buddha statues enshrined in the hall are of Tantric Buddhism, forming a combination of Han and Tibetan characteristics. The carvings and paintings in the temple are very exquisite, and the beams and columns are covered with complex patterns, showing a high level of art. In addition, Guanghua Temple also preserves an octagonal single pavilion-style stone pagoda from the third year of Yuanfeng in the Northern Song Dynasty (1080), which has high academic value.
Tourists generally give high praise to Guanghua Temple, believing that the environment here is quiet and suitable for quiet worship. The night view of Guanghua Temple is also very beautiful, and it is a place worth visiting in Wutai Mountain. The stone carvings of the sixteen venerables in the temple are rare artistic treasures. Each venerable is carved lifelike, showing superb stone carving skills.
Entering the Wutai Mountain Scenic Area, you will find that there are really too many places worth visiting. I hiked in Wutai Mountain for a few days and also felt the sunrise and sunset of Dongtai and Xitai. But what impressed me most was Guanghua Temple. Although it is not a very famous temple, the quietness it gave me is hard to find in Wutai Mountain.

It was National Day when we went there. The weather was a bit cold and the wind was a bit strong, but it did not affect the scenic spot. It is a niche scenic spot, very attentive, and the performances were great. It's just that there are not many foods around, only barbecues and snacks. It would be better if there were stir-fried dishes.
The lights are especially beautiful at night, and there is a musical fountain
