Standing in the northeastern part of Shanxi Province, Mount Wutai, along with Emei Mountain in Sichuan, Putuo Mountain in Zhejiang and Jiuhua Mountain in Anhui, is one of the four sacred mountains in Chinese Buddhism.
As the dojo of the Bodhisattva Manjusri, the Bodhisattva of wisdom, the mountain is famous not only in China, but also across Japan, India, Nepal and several other neighboring countries. Thousands of students and their parents flock to Wutai to pray for good luck and a bright future during the pre-exam time, especially right before the National College Entrance Examination.
