Yungang Grottoes

乔立彬

Yungang Grottoes are very spectacular and majestic, the weather is very good, there are many tourists, and there is a long queue in each place. If you can watch the experience when there are few people, it should be better, otherwise the queue time is too long and it is very crowded.

Encore Mount Wutai

Anonymous User

Because I don't know the seat arrangement, I have been entangled for a long time when I placed the order. The picture above is for your reference. The middle part of the audience area is an aisle. The first row above the aisle is the most expensive ticket. As shown in Figure 1, Figure 2 is the second expensive, and Figure 3 is the third expensive. Figure 4 is the most expensive and the most affordable. Figure 1, 2 and 3 are in the middle of the audience area, and there are five rows near the green and blue of Figure 5. Warm reminder: The theater is near the visitor center in Wutai Mountain Scenic Area. After 5 pm that day, the bus in the scenic area shows that there is no electricity. You can only go down the mountain to charge the empty car. From the temple group near Wuye Temple, friends who want to take the bus to the visitor center to watch the performance, basically can't get on the bus. We are looking for a local car that is convenient for tourists to start the show. If we don't hit the local car, wait for the bus to be like a dozen spectators next door, and we will arrive at the theater after the performance. DDDD

Wuye Temple, also known as Wulong Wang Palace and Wanfo Pavilion, is located in the center of Taihuai Town, Wutai County, Zhangzhou City, Shanxi Province.

It is the most fragrant temple in Wutai Mountain, covering an area of 4898 square meters. The spatial pattern of Wuye Temple is composed of Wenshu Temple, Wuye Temple, Wanfo Pavilion, Sangshe and Theater.

It is one of the most incense temples in Wutai Mountain. The five masters worshipped in the temple are the legendary Guangji Dragon King Bodhisattva, which is the product of Wenshu Bodhisattva's localization and secularization in Taihuai, relying on people's wish to harvest crops, no disasters, family health, and everything goes well.

Dongtai Peak

M43***18

1. Natural scenery ‌ Dongtaiding is one of the five tops of Wutai Mountain, known for its beautiful natural scenery. The ridge here is known as the most beautiful section, as if walking in the cloud and in a fairyland. In the early morning, the top of the East Taitai was first light rain and then thick fog, and then the wonders of the sea of clouds emerged, the red sun sprayed thin and the scenery was magnificent. When the summer weather was fine, the dawn landed on it, and the red sun at the end of the sea of clouds was visible, which was refreshing and pleasant. ‌ 2. Humanistic landscape ‌ There is a small temple on the top of the East Tai, the buildings are exquisite, and the scenery around is pleasant. In addition, there are flocks of cattle and sheep here, not afraid of people, and even intimate interaction with people, adding the harmonious beauty of nature and humanities. On special days, such as the first 15th, there are crowded and lively here, but it may lead to traffic congestion. It is recommended to avoid these days to go to ‌. ‌ 3. Travel experience ‌ Self-driving to Dongtaiding needs to be parked in the Dongtaiding parking lot. Panshan Highway is more tortuous, and you need to be cautious when driving at night. Although climbing the mountain is tired, everything is worth it for the beauty of the sunrise. You need to get up early to watch the sunrise. It is recommended to leave around 3:30 in the morning. At the same time, remember to bring thick clothes, the temperature on the top of the mountain is low, you can rent military coats to protect you from the cold. When going down the mountain, most people choose to take a short walk and take pictures while walking on the lawn, and the scenery along the way heals people. In summary, Dongtaiding is an excellent tourist attraction integrating natural scenery, humanistic landscape and tourism experience.

Wutai Mountain is located in the northwest of Shanxi, the northern foothills of Taihang Mountain, surrounded by mountains and thousands of temples, with deep Buddhist culture and many historical relics. It is a holy place for countless pilgrims to come to make a wish to worship Buddha. The great people in the period of the Anti-Japanese War once visited Wutai Mountain and talked about Buddhism with the host.

Dongtai Wanghai Peak

亮点liangpoint

Dongtai Wanghaifeng is 2795 meters above sea level. I saw the archway of Dongtai Wanghai Temple. On the left side of the archway stands a stone about two or three people high. The word "watching the sunrise" is written in red. It is the best sunrise viewing point in Wutai Mountain.
