Wutai Mountain

Anonymous User

When entering the mountain, you must ask for a ticket. Friends of the bus go to the scene to buy it. If you Trip.com , you can directly swipe your ID card to go in. It is very convenient. However, the tour guides who are supporting the package suggest that you do not contact, it is said that they are all taken to consume. There are more than 100 temples in Wutai Mountain. I personally think that it takes 2 days to see the flowers. If you look carefully, it will take about a week. It is not bad and luxurious, so you can come a few more times. Dixo Suburger is very recommended. The female store manager is really gentle and gentle, and chatting with her is like a soul spa. Puhua Temple is the scene of the heavens, standing at the door of Wang Zhiwen and the Zen master chatting about the mercy of the heavens and the sleeping Buddha Temple, very sad.

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

Puhua Temple

We have not seen so many brick sculptures in other temples. Most of them are myths, and many characters come from some allusions. There are many stories we can't recognize at all, the whole Puhua Temple we visited for more than 4 hours, of course, not as good as special scholars, but the lady is very obsessed with these brick carvings.

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.
