Wutai Mountain

#celebrateit
Wutai Mountain is one of the four sacred mountains in Chinese Buddhism, and the abode of Manjushri, the Bodhisattva of Wisdom. Its name, meaning 'Five Terrace Mountain', is a nod to its five flat peaks, each a home to a collection of ancient Buddhist temples that have stood for centuries, making it a UNESCO World Heritage Site and an important pilgrimage destination.

Situated about 240 kilometers from Taiyuan, the provincial capital, Wutai Mountain is readily accessible for a spiritual retreat or a nature-filled adventure. Visitors come for the serene atmosphere, the intricate architecture of the monasteries, and the mountain's lush scenery.Wutai Mountain is one of the four sacred mountains in Chinese Buddhism, and the abode of Manjushri, the Bodhisattva of Wisdom.
