Travel in mount Wutai

This place I’m going to introduce is a famous buddhistic landscape in my hometown. Wutai Mountain in Shanxi Province is located in northeast China, 230 kilometers from the provincial capital Taiyuan. Emei Mountain in Sichuan, Jiuhua Mountain, Putuo Mountain in Zhejiang are collectively called "the four famous mountains of Chinese Buddhism." Buddhism and the Chinese tourist destination, famous summer out of China's top ten first.
I visited there before I came to Australia. The most impressed one I remembered is called Bulmo hole, which is a small hole in the mountain with a small entrance just can squeeze through by one person. The most amazing thing is that no matter how fat or how thin you are, there is only one person can squeeze through. The other interesting thing we tried is mook food. All the progress are followed as what the monks do everyday, we chanted sutras before eating, finish all the food in the plant, and chanted sutras after the meal.
It was really a special journey.
