What is the geographical location of Mount Emei?

Mount Emei is one of the highest tourist mountains in China, with an altitude of 3079.3 meters, more than twice that of Mount Tai.

The whole mountain is magnificent, with lush trees and colors like the sea, so it is called "Xiongxiu".

Due to the huge mountain, the climbing route is nearly a hundred miles, and it is difficult for the weak to reach the top. In recent years, a climbing cableway has been built here, where visitors can easily climb from the top and overlook the sea of clouds in Wan Li.

Emei Mountain is one of the four famous Buddhist mountains in China. Located in the southwest of Sichuan Basin, in Emei Mountain, it includes four mountain ranges: Da 'e, Er 'e, San 'e and Si 'e.

The two mountains, Da 'e and Er 'e, are far away from each other. Looking at Emei Mountain from a distance, the two peaks are as ethereal as thrush. Its precipitous and majestic momentum made Li Bai, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, admire that "Emei is higher than the western polar sky" and "there are many fairy mountains in Sichuan, and Emei is difficult to rival".

Mount Emei is famous for its fog. It is foggy and rainy all the year round.

The clouds that pervade the mountains are unpredictable, making Emei Mountain graceful.

There are dozens of small Buddhist temples on the mountain, and there are many exquisite Buddhist relics in the temple.

Many old people who believe in Buddhism go to the top of the mountain step by step. After more than ten days, the scene was very touching. The mountains are rich in animal and plant resources. Many wild macaques haunt the roadside from time to time, preventing tourists from asking for food and adding a lot of fun to tourists.

In Jinding, you can enjoy the sunrise, the sea of clouds, the Buddha's light and the holy lamp.

Emei Mountain has lush vegetation, which varies with the terrain. According to statistics, there are more than 3700 kinds of plants.

There are many kinds of animals in the mountains and forests, among which monkeys are the most interesting. They often haunt forest paths and temple corridors, begging for food and playing with tourists, so they are called "monkey laymen".

Emei Mountain's beautiful natural landscape and good ecological environment make it an ideal place for people to explore miracles and seek immortality and monasticism.

According to legend, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a Taoist temple in the mountains.

Buddhism spread to the mountains in the early Jin Dynasty.

During the Tang and Song Dynasties, two religions coexisted and temples and palaces developed greatly.

During the Ming Dynasty, Taoism declined and Buddhism flourished. At one time, there were as many as 1700 monks and nearly 100 temples of all sizes in the whole mountain.

Records of Mount Emei and other materials record such a legendary story: In the sixth year of Yongping in the Eastern Han Dynasty (63 years), "On June 1st, a Pugong was collecting herbs in Yunchao, and he saw a deer trace like a lotus, which was different from others and was chased without a trace".

Because I turned around and asked the Zhang Bao monk who was practicing wool in the mountains.

The monk said that Bodhisattva Samantabhadra "appeared in Emei Mountain as he wished".

After Pugong returned to China, he built his house into a temple, and Emei Mountain developed into a Dojo in Pu Xian.

Another source said that when Pu Gong of the Jin Dynasty was collecting herbs on the mountain, he saw an old man riding a white elephant and hiding.

The records after that are basically the same.

Judging from this legend alone, temples were built in the later dynasties with Pu Xian as the center. Emei Mountain is recognized as the Bodhisattva Dojo and has developed into one of the four famous Buddhist mountains in China.

Guobao Temple is the gateway of Emei Mountain, with its back against the majestic Guangming Mountain and facing the beautiful Fengbao.

Originally known as Huizongtang, it was built in the 43rd year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (16 15) and was destroyed by fire in the late Ming Dynasty.

In the 11th year of Shunzhi in Qing Dynasty (1654), the Zen master of Wenda was rebuilt, and Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty named the National Temple.

After two expansions in Jiaqing and Guangxu in Qing Dynasty, it became a magnificent temple with four palaces and four pavilions.

The Temple of Khufu is very close to the Temple of National Security. It was built in the Tang Dynasty, formerly known as Shenlong Hall. Later, there was a mountain behind the temple, crouching like a tiger. It was renamed Khufu Temple.

The temple was destroyed by fire in the late Ming Dynasty and expanded in the early Qing Dynasty. 13 word heavy dragon temple, which took 20 years, and the pavilion of Cenlou was complex, with far-reaching twists and turns.

Shui Sheng Pavilion District is a place where religious attractions are concentrated.

Chunyang Temple was built in the Wanli period of Ming Dynasty. There is a Samantabhadra stone not far from the temple, which is said to be the resting place for Pu Xian to climb mountains.

Nearby, the Thousand-Man Cave is the remains of the seventh cave of Taoist Xu Ling, while the Cross Cave is passed down as the sword of Lv Chunyang.

Mount Emei is 700-3000 meters above sea level, and Heilongjiang and Bailong River are interspersed among them. The river bed has a large drop, forming numerous flowing springs, waterfalls and canyon cliffs.

In Xianfeng Temple, Hongchunping and Qingyinge, the height difference between peaks and valleys is more than seven or eight hundred meters.

Yin Qing Pavilion looms under Niuxinling, with Heilongjiang on the left and Bailong River on the right, and the two waters embrace each other. There is a black boulder in the canyon at the confluence, called Niuxinling Stone.

"Black and white washed beef heart" has become a famous scene in Emei Mountain.

Yin Qing Pavilion was founded by Buddhist monks in in the fourth year of Ganfu in Tang Xizong (877).

Formerly known as Jiyun Pavilion, it was rebuilt in Kangxi period of Qing Dynasty and renamed Yin Qing Pavilion.

There is a row of halls dedicated to three Buddha statues: Sakyamuni, Pu Xian and Manjusri.

It is surrounded by mountains and waters, with beautiful streams, strange rocks and nymphs, and is known as the first scenic spot in Emei Mountain.

The Heilongjiang Gorge, west of Qingyin Pavilion, is confronted by both sides of the strait, and it is surrounded by dangers, with a width of about 6 meters and a narrowest point of only 3 meters. It stood on the cliff and fell straight to the bottom of the river. The situation is very dangerous.

Niuxin Temple is located at the foot of Niuxinling Mountain, with dense Chinese fir, which blocks the sunshine.

This temple, called Yanfuyuan in ancient times, is the place where Sun Simiao, the king of medicine in the Tang Dynasty, practiced alchemy.

Buddha's light, sea of clouds and magic lamp are the three natural wonders of Jinding in Emei.

Looking out from the Jinding viewing platform, when the white clouds are laid flat in front of the platform and the sun shines on the clouds, you can see bright and colorful auras.

Monks call it "Buddha's Light", and it is said that it is auspicious to be reflected by Buddha's Light, hence the name Jinding Xiangguang.

The sea of clouds is another wonder of Jinding in Emei.

Whenever the sky is clear in Wan Li, the fog rises in the deep valley, diffuses in front of the rocks, accumulates thicker and thicker, and the horizon is endless.

The mountain peak at the top of Emei is like an island in the vast sea of clouds.

There is no wind in the air, the clouds are like mirrors, and it is silent, as if you are in Penglai fairyland.

In the wind, the sea of clouds churned, and Malik galloped, magnificent.

On dark and windy nights, you can sometimes see a mysterious magic lamp in the valley under the rock.

In fact, the magic lamp is neither from the underworld nor from the gods, but is produced by the burning of phosphine in nature.
