🍴 Food Recommendations:
🔥Must-Try List:
1️⃣ Crispy Pastry: A specialty of Wutai Mountain, crispy outside and tender inside, only 2 RMB each, a great deal!
2️⃣ Tai Mushroom Sauce Steamed Bun: The local Tai mushrooms are super fresh and delicious, stuffed in a warm steamed bun, absolutely amazing🤤

📌 Practical Tips:
🚍Transportation:
- Bus line 8 covers 80% of the scenic spots inside the park, ticket price is only 3 RMB, very cost-effective!
- For departure from Shanghai, it is recommended to fly to Taiyuan (many flights✈️) + charter a car (about 2.5 hours to the scenic area), more flexible
🏡Accommodation Advice:
Around Wuye Temple is the most convenient! You can rest at the hotel anytime when tired
⚠️Avoid Pitfalls:
Return trips are prone to delays (I was delayed for 8 hours😭), it is recommended to buy delay insurance!
