Bodhisattva Temple, Shanxi, China
5.0 (8 reviews) Spent 1-2 hours Ranking #6 in Wutai County Religious Sites
Spectacular views
This is a beautiful, colorful, peaceful temple at the top of a cluster of temples. There are spectacular views of the mountains, some of which were snow-capped when we were there, as well as many temples all around. There are 108 steps, same number as in Buddhist rosary, leading down from this temple. Due to my vertigo, it was a challenge for me to make it down but a helpful Chinese couple walked in front of me from top to bottom. For photographers it's a great place to take stunning photos. There were crowds there but I didn't feel it detracted from the experience.

temple on hilltop
Lovely temple complex on top of steep hill. I took a shuttle bus up and walked down, 1000 odd steps. The temple is fantastic and you can take part in incence burning if you wish. Its a living monetary so dress respectfully and don't take pictures of monks or relics.
