2025Buddhist Culture Experiences in Hohhot|trip.com

The Buddha's light from Qingcheng permeates the grassland Silk Road, where Han and Tibetan Buddhism blend and shine. The silver Buddha of Dazhao Temple is solemn, with dragon carvings on the columns and the Ming Dynasty murals conveying the charm of Mongolian and Tibetan art; the Xilituzhao Sutra Hall is majestic, with the golden plaque of "Yanshou Temple" bestowed by Emperor Kangxi and the gilded Dharma Wheel, and the thousand volumes of Kangyur in the Sutra Pavilion precipitate the light of wisdom. The Mongolian astronomical map stone carvings on the Vajra Seat of the Five Pagodas Temple have engraved the mysteries of Buddhism and astrology into eternity. In the morning, follow the lamas to turn the prayer wheel and feel the warmth of 108 prayer beads; in the afternoon, paint thangkas at the Naichun Temple, and glimpse the splendor of the Buddhist kingdom through the gold powder. In the first month of the lunar calendar, the Chama Dance Ceremony, with Vajra masks and horns, interprets the ancient tantra of exorcising evil and bringing blessings. Visitors can experience making milk tea for Buddha, making butter lamps by hand, and feel the sharpness of the logic of the Yin Ming at the Xilitu Zhao debate site. From the light smoke of burning incense in the Dazhao Square to the six-character mantra on the cliff of the Wusutu Zhao Grottoes, this Buddhist city outside the Great Wall carries compassion with the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasty style, inviting you to listen to the Zen symphony of Buddhist chants and horse-head fiddles.
