Wutaishan

Introduction

Wutaishan is located in the northeast of Shanxi and is one of China’s sacred Buddhist mountains. There are 5 peaks in the Wutaishan range reaching up to about 3,000 meters (9,800ft).

The area has had religious significance since the 1st century AD when an Indian monk is said to have had a vision of Manjusri the Buddhist god of wisdom at Wutaishan. Buddhists were drawn to the area and by the Tang dynasty (618-907AD) there were over 200 temples and monasteries scattered around the mountains.
