Nanshan Temple in Xinzhou: A high-altitude ancient temple in Wutai Mountain with a strong atmosphere of cultivation and alchemy!

Nanshan Temple in Xinzhou is located in the scenic area of Wutai Mountain and is one of the highest ancient temples in the scenic area. It was built in the Yuan Dynasty and expanded during the Republic of China period. It merged Youguo Temple, Jile Temple, and Shandetang into Nanshan Temple. The whole temple is built on the mountain and has more than 300 houses, covering an area of 37,175 square meters. Due to the high altitude, the temple at the top is very artistic, just like the magical place of cultivation and alchemy in the mythological TV series. You can overlook the entire Wutai Mountain scenery from the top, which is very shocking. Therefore, you must come to Nanshan Temple when you come to Wutai Mountain. You can appreciate the beautiful natural scenery and profound architectural art of Wutai Mountain. Now I will summarize and share some simple strategies for visiting Nanshan Temple. 1. Ticket information: You can visit Nanshan Temple for free by purchasing a ticket to Wutai Mountain Scenic Area, and the temple no longer charges a separate ticket. 2. Opening hours: Normally open from 8:00 to 18:00 every day. In case of bad weather, major holidays or temple fairs, the opening hours will be adjusted. 3. Visit time: Normally, it takes 2 hours to visit, but if you like architectural art or photography, it is recommended to arrange 1-2 hours more to visit slowly. 4. Play season: Wutai Mountain enjoys the reputation of the cool mountain in North China, so midsummer is the best season to play, and the altitude of Nanshan Temple is higher and the temperature is lower. Even in the hot summer, you need to wear autumn clothes to play normally, otherwise you will catch a cold. 5. Transportation: According to actual experience, it is more convenient to drive by yourself. If you really can't arrange a self-driving tour, you can take the tourist bus line at Taihuai Town to the Wutai Mountain North Gate Visitor Center and walk 500 meters to reach it, or you can take a taxi from Taihuai Town or Wutai Mountain Station. 6. Food and accommodation: There are no accommodation and restaurants in the scenic area. You can arrange to stay in Taihuai Town. In the non-peak tourist season, the accommodation price is about 160 yuan, and the food consumption is not high. Consumption of 40-50 yuan is more common.
