What is the basic situation of Taihuai Town and your travel experience?

Taihuai Town is located in the northernmost part of Wutai County, away from Wutai County 162 Li. It is a beautiful mountain city with a population of nearly 2,000 people from four ethnic groups: Han, Manchu, Mongolian and Tibetan.

Taihuai Town is located in the five peaks of Wutai Mountain: Dongtai, Xitai, Nantai, Beitai and Zhongtai, hence the name "Taihuai". Wutai Mountain, one person called Taihuai area (now Huaixiang) "inside Taiwan", others. The area is called "outside Taiwan Province". Xu Xiake, a geographer of Ming Dynasty in China, wrote in the Travels of Xu Xiake, a famous geographical work, that "there is a dock under the north of Taiwan Province, Dongtai West, Central Taiwan Province and Nantai North, which is called Taisheng (the sound and meaning of the bay are the same as Huai), and these stations are also listed." It is quite appropriate to describe the geographical location of Taihuai Town and Wuzhan Station. Taihuai Town is 0/9 km away from Wanghaishan/KLOC-in Dongtai, 22 km away from Guayuefeng in West Taiwan, 28 km away from Jinxiu Peak in South Taiwan, 20 km away from Yedou Peak in North Taiwan and 0/9 km away from Cuiyanfeng/KLOC-in Middle Taiwan. It is the center of the stage.

There is a small peak in the north of Taihuai Town, named Ling Jiu Feng, also known as Bodhisattva Peak. Because its geographical position is quite similar to that of Sakyamuni Buddha in the northeast of Shecheng King in ancient India, it is called LingJiu Feng. According to the historical records of Buddhism, during the Eastern Han Dynasty, the original disseminators of Buddhism in China came to Taihuai Town with Mo Teng and Zhu Falan. Seeing that the situation in the Bodhisattva today is similar to the Indian spirit Jiu Feng, I gave it a name. So Ling Jiu Feng is also called Bodhisattva Peak. Buddhists say Manjusri Bodhisattva once appeared on the top of the mountain.

According to Buddhist historical records, the relic of Sakyamuni is hidden in the underground of the Great White Pagoda in Taihuai Town. As a symbol of Sakyamuni, the relic is most admired by Buddhists.

Because there are spiritual Jiu Feng and Buddhist relics in Taihuai Town, the imperial court and Buddhist believers have built temples in Taihuai Town and its vicinity for generations, forming the Wutai Mountain Buddhist center with many Buddhist pagodas. More than half of the Buddhist temples in Wutai Mountain are concentrated in Taihuai Town. At present, there are more than 40 temples in Wutai County, and there are 30 temples in Taihuai Town and its vicinity. These temples are: Xiantong Temple, Tayuan Temple, Wanfoge Temple, Luohou Temple, Yuanzhao Temple, Guangzong Temple, Bodhisattva Temple, Cifu Temple, Weiyi Temple, Longquan Temple, Zhenhai Temple, Nanshan Temple, Shancai Cave, Dailuoding Temple, Guanyin Cave, Shouning Temple and Bishan Temple. At the same time, ancient temples, Jinjie Temple, Fuen Temple, Qixian Temple, Wanfo Cave, Hongquan Temple, Baota Temple, Lingfeng Temple, Liang Qing Temple, etc.

To the east of Taihuai Town, there is a small mountain peak, which is often hidden in the clouds. It is called Dai Luoding, also known as "Qingfeng", hence the name. There is a temple on the top of the mountain, formerly known as Foding Temple, which was renamed Dailuoding Temple after the Qing Dynasty. There is a statue of "Five Manjusri" in the temple. This 400-meter-high mountain is a symbol of the five major events of Wutai Mountain.

"There are five mountains and high roads, and there are five that cannot be done." Buddhists who are facing Taiwan are called "Xiaozheng facing Taiwan" if they are physically exhausted and can't reach the top of the five platforms. Dailuoding is a place where Buddhists facing the mountain must go on a pilgrimage. Dai, with his back to Dongtai, looks at Haishan Mountain, towering into the sky and facing Qingshui River across the river. The ancient trees on the top of the mountain are towering and the scenery is excellent. In the fifty-first year of Qianlong (1786), Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty once wrote a poem of seven laws after he reached the top of Dailuo, saying:

The mountains returned to the valley to embrace themselves,

The top of the snail is adjacent to another mountain on the left.

The clouds are bending around in Han Xiao,

Furong appeared alone in the flower palace.

On the day when the East China Sea rose outside the window,

The next millennium is not young.

Support five Schumann statues,

Shirley never knew the real sect.

This poem, written by Gan Long, was carved on a white marble tablet in Dailuoding Temple. The "Thousand-year-old Pine" mentioned in the poem is more than 30 meters high in front of the Daxiong Hall, and it goes straight into the sky and stands out in the forest.

Buddhists believe that Taihuai Town is the main place where Manjusri Bodhisattva is said to be alive, and Manjusri Bodhisattva mentioned in Buddhist scriptures and its 10,000 family members also live near Taihuai. There is a hill called Fan Xian Mountain in the south of Taihuai Town, and there is a temple called Fan Xian Temple on the top of the hill. On the cliffs of Fanxian Mountain, there are many small artificial caves, which Buddhists say are the homes of Manjusri Bodhisattva disciples.

Taihuai Town is the center of worship of Wutai Mountain by emperors in past dynasties. During the reign of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, a palace dedicated to Wutai Mountain was established in Taihuai Town. The palace is located in front of today's Tayuan Temple, with a grand scale, covering an area of about 300 mu. Locals usually call it the imperial city, and the ruins of Gongmen still remain.

In order to protect the central area of Buddhism and the palace of Wutai Mountain, during the Qing Dynasty, Taihuai Town once set up a "patrol pavilion" and a "city guard pavilion", with Ma Jun and infantry, and Zheng Qipin as the military attache.

In Wutai Mountain area, the coldest place is on the top of five platforms. Secondly, there are several people who are really pregnant. Taihuai Town is 1.700 meters above sea level, belonging to the alpine mountain area. In the middle of winter, when the snow is falling and the north wind is howling, the extreme minimum temperature can drop to -42 degrees. In July in hot summer, the highest temperature here is only 27 degrees. Whenever the climate changes suddenly in the morning and evening, you even have to wear cotton farmers. The local old people wear cotton trousers all year round. In summer in Taihuai Town, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the grass is lush, the wild flowers are everywhere, and the climate is cool and pleasant. This is really a "cool spot", where there is no hot summer.

Taihuai Town has three streets from south to north, followed by Fang Ying Street, Taiping Street and Yanglin Street. Fang Ying Street was the garrison of Acropolis Guild Hall in Qing Dynasty. There used to be handicraft workshops and shops on both sides of Taiping Street, which produced silverware, bronzes and ironware products for monasteries and believers in mountainous areas of Mongolia and Tibet, while Yanglin Street was a commercial street. In the future, Taihuai Town plans to build a garden-like temple gathering area, which is quiet and elegant, making people unique, such as entering Yuyu Gong Qiong.

There are four main roads from Beijing to Wutai Mountain. One is the Beijing-Shijiazhuang Expressway, which passes through Baoding to Wang Du or Dingzhou, exits the expressway, and then passes through Quyang and Fuping to Taihuai Town. This is the best way to drive, about 360 kilometers, about 5 to 6 hours. The second is from Taiyuan to Taihuai Town via Xinzhou, Dingxiang and Wutai. Going to Taiyuan for business will naturally take this road. The third is to take the road from Datong. Another way is to take a train to Shahe, and then take a bus for dozens of kilometers.

I went from Taiyuan. The road is not too wide, there are not too many cars, and the second half is difficult to walk, which is roughly the same as the road to Tanzhe Temple. It will take nearly five hours to get there, and it will be faster when you come back.

Wutai Mountain is called Wutai Mountain because there are five high mountains, the top of which is as flat as a platform. There is a small basin between the five mountains, and Taihuai Town is here. There is a large temple group in Taihuai Town. Many people come not to climb mountains, but to worship temples, so they basically walk around Taihuai Town. It is said that Wutai Mountain is the Dojo of Manjushri. Manjusri Bodhisattva is a master of wisdom. It is said that the most spiritual temple is Wu Ye Temple. The Fifth Master is the fifth son of the Dragon King, so it used to be called the Dragon King Temple. However, it was explained that Wu Ye was actually the incarnation of Manjusri Bodhisattva.

It is said that the wish made in Wu Ye Temple will come true in three years. So tour guides always advise people to make big wishes and burn high incense. Although Wutai Mountain is a Buddhist resort, it has a strong commercial atmosphere now. Like many tourist areas, some people do treacherous things in the name of Buddha. But it looks stronger here.

A gift is an amulet. Usually local people, mostly young people. He will solemnly give you a polished yellow and bronze amulet, saying that "the master inside gave it to you." If you answer it, he will ask you to donate. But the money donated will definitely not be sent to the temple. This amulet is on sale, no more than two yuan.

Even more deadly than these people are tour guides. The tour guide who took us was one of the top ten travel agencies in Taiyuan, and was awarded the title of the best travel agency in Taiyuan. I was polite all the way and always apologized for a little thing. When I got to Taihuai Town, I showed my true colors.

First of all, she introduced us to the restaurant on the street, said how good it is here, and said that you must order a table mill. Say how good the mill is, how to regret not eating once, and promise to invite her to dinner and take us in. As soon as I entered and sat down, the waiter brought the menu. As soon as she saw it, she asked the waiter to change it: "Go and get the menu of that special dish."

What I brought again is really a special dish. The first one is a frying machine, but there is no price. How much did you ask? It actually went from more than 80 to more than 200. You can eat yellow shark fin in Beijing at this price. More than 80% are completely vegetarian, which is extremely poor. When I came out, I found that the price of a bag of moss mill on the street was only a dozen dollars, and I could still cut it. I asked the tour guide why he was so poor, and the tour guide was speechless. It took a long time to say that it was not done in the mountains. High mountains are naturally expensive.

In fact, there are many small streets on both sides of the main street in Taihuai Town, where the food in small hotels is very cheap, which is similar to that in ordinary cities.

Another trick of these tour guides in Taiyuan is to block information. Trying to keep you off the street. It is said that there are many thieves outside and the locals are very powerful. Don't go out at night. Those of us who often go out know that the public security in tourist areas is generally good. In order to increase tourism revenue, the local government attaches great importance to this. Besides, who stays in the room and watches TV at night? Travel is to see mountains, water and cities. You will understand the guide's intention when you go out and have a look. Things on the street are much cheaper than those special shops she takes you to see, which is about ten to twenty times different.

In fact, there is no way for shops to cooperate with tour guides to deceive people. He doesn't sell at a high price, the tour guide can't get kickbacks, and he won't bring guests next time. Then what will they eat? So as long as the tour guide is around you, the seller has to raise the price immediately. In fact, if you leave the tour guide, the food and accommodation transportation in Wutai Mountain is still relatively cheap.

The best part of a tour guide is to bring incense and tell fortune.

She takes you to the place where you invite incense, and it smells hundreds or thousands. So she always makes you make big wishes and burn high incense. The incense in other places is probably tens of dollars at most. I don't believe that the Buddha is too poor to love the rich, and I don't believe that people who make greedy wishes will get special care from the Buddha, and they can worship the Buddha with their hearts only by selling incense for tens of dollars. The tour guide turned pale with anger.

What I want to say is fortune telling. Tour guides often tell their guests fortune, and they really know where to tell them. In order to get more benefits, she will naturally take guests to places that are generally accurate. Moreover, Wutai Mountain has a very high reputation for asking questions by lottery. If it really counts, you might as well follow the tour guide to have a look. One thing, however, is that the place where she takes you is relatively expensive, and it is in stages. If you have the sincerity to calculate, you'd better prepare 3000 yuan.

In fact, if all the money is sent to the temple, I think it should be, but if all the "excellent" tour guides and profiteers of these "top ten travel agencies" are taken away, there is always some reluctance. What always makes people uncomfortable is that when we find out that she keeps killing people, we put on her tactfully and tip her hundreds of dollars, hoping that she won't stop us from browsing and take us to shops where we can't buy things. But she thanked us and dragged us to those places with a straight face. So I suggest to find five friends:

First, you don't need to find a tour guide or travel agency from Taiyuan unless you are afraid of having no place to live.

Second, if the tour guide arranges inappropriate browsing, he must be polite and resolutely let her adjust. Because they will never be polite to you when they kill you. Your time is very precious.

Third, you don't have to eat in a restaurant on the main street of Taihuai Town. Some shops there are too dark. Not only the price, but also the cost, the quality is worse than that of the small street, and a profiteer is not like the human touch of the small street.

Fourthly, some tour guides joked that "Lu in the Three Kingdoms Period" and "480-year-old temple in the Southern Dynasties" refer to Wutai Mountain. "Wait a minute. People have already said that the Northern and Southern Dynasties were Southern Dynasties, and Wutai Mountain was to be uprooted. We'll talk about these later.
