Mt. Wutaishan Two days tour
Two days' classci tour in Wutaishan Mountain.
With its five flat peaks is one of the four sacred Buddhist mountains in China. It is seen as the global centre for Buddhist Manjusri worship. Its fifty-three monasteries, include the East Main Hall of Foguang Temple, with life size clay sculptures, the highest ranking timber building to survive from the Tang Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty Shuxiang Temple with a huge complex of 500 ‘suspension’ statues, representing Buddhist stories woven into three dimensional pictures of mountains and water. The temples are inseparable from their mountain landscape. With its high peaks, snow covered for much of the year, thick forests of vertical pines, firs, poplar and willow trees and lush grassland, the beauty of the landscape has been celebrated by artists since at least the Tang Dynasty – including in the Dunhuang caves. Two millennia of temple building have delivered an assembly of temples that present a catalogue of the way Buddhist architecture developed and influenced palace building over a wide part of China and part of Asia. For a thousand years from the Northern Wei period (471-499) nine Emperors made 18 pilgrimages to pay tribute to the bodhisattvas, commemorated in stele and inscriptions. Started by the Emperors, the tradition of pilgrimage to the five peaks is still very much alive. With the extensive library of books collected by Emperors and scholars, the monasteries of Mount Wutai remain an important repository of Buddhist culture, and attract pilgrims from across a wide part of Asia.

Day 1: Arrival in Mount Wutai / Dailuoding Temple / Nanshan Temple
Arrive at Mount Wutai, where you will meet your tour guide and transfer to your local hotel for check-in. Mount Wutai is one of the Four Sacred Buddhist Mountains of China and has a long and distinguished history as an important center of Buddhist pilgrimage. It is traditionally regarded as the sacred home of Manjusri, the Bodhisattva of Wisdom, who is believed to have taught Buddhism here.
Mount Wutai is home to numerous historic temples and religious sites, as well as a rich collection of well-preserved Buddhist art, including painted sculptures, murals, and architectural decorations.
Today, visit Dailuoding Temple, located on a hilltop overlooking the surrounding mountains. The temple offers beautiful panoramic views of the area and has long been an important pilgrimage site dedicated to Manjusri.
Continue to Nanshan Temple, originally established during the Yuan Dynasty. The temple is particularly renowned for its exquisite stone and clay sculptures, which are considered among the artistic highlights of Mount Wutai. Take time to explore the temple complex and appreciate its distinctive Buddhist art and traditional architecture.

After breakfast, begin your sightseeing at Pusading (Bodhisattva Summit) Temple, one of the most important temples on Mount Wutai. Mount Wutai is unique among China’s sacred Buddhist mountains for its long-standing traditions of both Chinese Buddhism and Tibetan Buddhism. Located on the summit, Pusading Temple offers impressive views of the surrounding temple complexes and mountains. Its traditional architecture and elevated position have sometimes been compared to a miniature version of the Potala Palace in Lhasa.
Continue to Xiantong Temple, one of the oldest and most important temples on Mount Wutai. Its history can be traced back to the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the temple complex has been expanded and rebuilt over many centuries. Explore its historic halls and appreciate the traditional Buddhist architecture and religious atmosphere.
