A visit to Shanxi Province is incomplete without a trip to the esteemed Wutai Mountain. The golden month of May, encompassing the May Day holiday, attracts hordes of tourists to this sacred site. To assist you in navigating the crowds, our junior disciples at the Ruyi Pavilion have compiled a handy guide for avoiding peak hours. Take note and make the most of your visit!
To avoid the crowds, we recommend starting your day early with a visit to the summit of Fanmo or Dailuoding. Here, you can offer prayers for love and prosperity. Following this, proceed to Shuxiang Temple, a place of wisdom and academic blessings. Next, ascend to the Pusating, a royal temple with a renowned Tibetan-style Buddha Wall that’s a must for photo ops. Finally, visit the Wuye Temple, ideally after 4 pm to avoid the afternoon rush.
If you haven’t secured transportation, fret not! The West Gate offers an alternative route without the long queues. Simply make your way to the West Gate and enjoy a seamless entry into the mountain.
So, whether you’re looking for a serene pilgrimage or an exciting adventure, Wutai Mountain has something for everyone. Follow our tips, and you’re sure to have a memorable experience during the May holiday!
