Wutaishan





Wutaishan is a mountain west of Beijing that is famous as a Buddhist pilgrimage centre. It can be visited as a weekend trip from Beijing, but 3-4 days is better. This allows time for traffic delays caused by the notorious coal trucks on Shanxi roads. On this trip we spent 3 hours going 20 km in one long traffic jam.


Wanfo temple is packed with hundreds of pilgrims burning incense on a huge burner and well worth an early morning visit. Later in the morning and in the afternoon there are free performances of Shanxi opera at Wanfo temple that are highly recommended. See my opera photos at https://pbase.com/mjunsworth/shanxi_opera
