For traveling from Beijing to Wutaishan by train, we recommend taking the K601 train to Wutaishan Railway Station (departs Beijing at 22:23, arrives at 4:30 next day)—no need to transfer via Xinzhou, saving transit time. Near Xiantong Temple, we suggest Rujia Neo Wutaishan Longquan Temple Hotel (4-star, 10-min walk to core temples) and Hanting Wutaishan Central Hotel (3-star, adjacent to Xiantong Temple), both with comfortable stays and scenic area shuttles. Plan to stay 2-3 days for in-depth exploration of mountain peaks and monasteries. If choosing Xinzhou transfer (e.g., high-speed rail to Xinzhou West), overnight in Xinzhou before a 1.5-hour car ride to Wutaishan (reverse for return). Nearby highlights: Taiyuan Jinci Temple (2.5-hour drive, ancient historic site) and Yanmen Pass (1.5-hour drive, iconic Great Wall section), offering natural scenery and cultural depth beyond Pingyao.
