Simple guide to Dailuo Peak in autumn: 1080 steps of Zen to enjoy the fall

Dailuo Peak is a must-visit spot in the "Small Chaotai" area of Mount Wutai. In autumn, the pine waves accompany Buddhist chants, thin mist wraps the red walls, and from the summit, you can overlook the entire Taihuai Town. Key information is as follows:

1. Highlights

• 1080-step "Great Wisdom Road": The steps symbolize dispelling 108 troubles. In autumn, the wind carries the scent of pine, making every step full of Zen;

• Autumn scenery at the summit: Among the pines and cypresses are touches of light crimson and bright yellow. The flowing mist resembles an "ink scroll." The viewing platform offers distant views of the peaks and rooftops of Taihuai Town, creating a deeply healing atmosphere;

• Five Directions Manjushri Hall: Inside the hall, you can light lamps to make wishes. Autumn slanting light casts shadows of ancient pines, combined with wind chimes and chanting, creating an especially tranquil ambiance.

2. Practical Guide

1. Route options

• Good stamina: Take the "Great Wisdom Road" (the dirt path on the right side of the cableway, look for the "Great Wisdom Road" stone tablet) to experience the meaning of the 1080 steps;

• Moderate stamina: Choose the gentle mountain path on the north side, with small stalls along the way for rest;

• Tip: Follow the "no backtracking" rule—ascend the steps, descend the horse trail—symbolizing a smooth journey ahead.

2. Clothing and timing

• Clothing: The summit is 5-10°C cooler than the base, bring a windbreaker plus a thin fleece liner; after autumn rain, the path is slippery, so non-slip hiking shoes are essential;

• Timing: Before 7 a.m. is the quietest time to ascend, allowing you to enjoy the mountain mist and morning light alone; it takes about 1 hour to reach the summit, so reserve half a day.

3. Notes

• The temple has canceled the 8 yuan small entrance fee; incense burning inside the hall is prohibited, but lamp lighting for wishes is allowed;

• There is almost no food on the mountain, so eat well before ascending and bring a bottle of warm water.
