Early as the third century B.C., "Buddhism has appeared in China and then long thrived in the wide China land. There used to be a golden time for "Buddhism in Tang Dynasty, temples rose up as bamboo shoot everywhere in the country. And a lot of mountains became the sacred mountain for "Buddhism, such as Mt. Wutaishan in Shan’xi province, Mt. Putuoshan in Zhejiang, Mt. Emeishan in Sichuan and Mt Jiuhuashan in Anhui province.
"Buddhism is almost extinguished from its original place of India now, so China became the best place to study and search for "Buddhism naturally. In this pilgrimage, the Buddhist will trace the foot print of Buddha through various temples in China. In order to search for the real status of "Buddhism and avoid the hot track of tourist, we arranged more small temples in virgin status.
