Exploring the Spiritual Haven: A Journey to China’s Four Great Buddhist Mountains
When the lingering echo of the morning bell drifts over the green mountains, and the profound resonance of the evening drum ripples through the sea of clouds, nestled within the magnificent landscape of China lie four sacred mountains steeped in a thousand years of Buddhist radiance. They stand amid the vastness of the Loess Plateau, rest in the embrace of the East China Sea’s blue waves, rise above the mist-shrouded lands of Bashu, or hide deep within the lush green hills of southern Jiangnan — Mount Wutai in Shanxi, Mount Putuo in Zhejiang, Mount Emei in Sichuan, and Mount Jiuhua in Anhui.
