China's rich pilgrimage tourism resources are attracting more and more foreign tourists. From the Buddhist holy places of Wutai Mountain, Putuo Mountain, Emei Mountain, Jiuhua Mountain, to the famous Taoist mountains of Wudang Mountain, Qingcheng Mountain, Longhu Mountain, etc., these places are not only beautiful in natural scenery, but also contain profound cultural heritage. Mount Wutai, as the dojo of Manjusri Bodhisattva, has a long history of Buddhist culture. The temples were first built in the Han Dynasty and reached their peak in the Tang Dynasty. There are more than 20 ancient temples such as Tayuan Temple and Xiantong Temple, which attract countless tourists to pray and study every year. Mount Putuo is the dojo of Guanyin Bodhisattva. The Guanyin Bodhisattva enshrined here is known for his great compassion. Every year on the 19th day of the second lunar month and other Guanyin birthdays, there are many tourists. Mount Emei is the dojo of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, and its incense is strong. Wannian Temple is particularly famous. Mount Jiuhua enshrines Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, who is famous for his great filial piety and great vows. Every year on the 30th day of the seventh lunar month, the birthday of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, there are endless pilgrims. The Buddhist culture and natural landscape of these holy places complement each other and have become an important window for foreign tourists to experience Chinese traditional culture. In addition, China has continuously optimized its entry policies, such as expanding the scope of visa-free entry and simplifying customs clearance procedures, which has further improved the travel convenience of foreign tourists. In the future, with the development and promotion of more pilgrimage tourism products, China's pilgrimage tourism market is expected to usher in greater development opportunities.
