For two millennia Mount Wutai has welcomed countless monks, lamas and even emperors to its holy grounds. During the International Tourist Month (the 6th lunar month), slightly lesser mortals can witness grand Buddhist rituals taking place on this ancient site.
Visitors are invited to join pilgrims and visit China's only mountain where both Chinese Buddhism and Tibetan Lamaism are practiced harmoniously. Out of the four principal holy mountains, Wutai has the largest number of temples and monks and the longest history of Buddhist temples.
During this time it is also a venue for horse and mule trading, which makes fascinating viewing.
