Circumambulate the 56-metre stupa of Tayuan Temple (¥5) with the pilgrims — the wind-bells are the mountain's heartbeat.
The oldest grand monastery (¥10) — seven halls in a row, bronze halls and the Buddhist relics museum.
Join the free vegetarian zhai fan (11:00–12:00) at Xiantong — rice, mountain greens and Wutai mushrooms.
1,080 steps (or cable car ¥50 up / ¥35 down) to the ridge-top temple where all five terrace Buddhas are honoured.
The busiest shrine (¥10) — ask for luck before the day-trippers thin out.
Shuttle to Wanghai Peak (¥70) for the 05:30 dawn — sea of clouds below, golden light above. Dress for freezing wind.
Quiet courtyards and the octagonal Cishan Pagoda below the South Terrace — the gentle end to the pilgrimage.
Yanglin Street for taimo mushrooms, inkstones and prayer flags before the bus back to Taiyuan.
