Mount Wutai is the most sacred of China’s four Buddhist mountains and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Known for its five flat peaks, it hosts dozens of ancient monasteries and temples, including Nanchan Temple, one of China’s oldest wooden buildings. Monks and pilgrims from across Asia visit for prayer and meditation. The mountain’s high altitude and misty air create a spiritual ambiance, making it a powerful place for introspection, learning, and cultural appreciation.
