Wutai Mountain is also called "Cool Mountain" due to its low temperatures. Wutai Mountain has the longest and most prestigious history in the Buddhist mountains, and has drawn emperors from various dynasties on pilgrimage. The Pusading Temple on a mountain top at Wutai Mountain was built as an imperial palace for Emperor Kangxi (1654-1722) for short stays away from the capital.
