July 30, 2003 Let us first arrived in Chengdu, and then ride from Chengdu to Leshan. Through the Chengdu and saw the green side of the road well, not the top floor of high buildings are planted with flowers, makes it very comfortable. However, in the basin, Chengdu, often shrouded by clouds, gray sky, rarely see the sun. Make people feel like, like Chengdu contaminated fiercely.
A friend arranged a shuttle bus we went to Leshan, passing by when the new Creek County, the owner arranged for us to eat lunch. New River abound He Xian, where the most famous is the Huang Lading. This is a river fish production of fresh and delicious, fish bones can be eaten. The Sichuan peppers create a unique tape Huang Lading, first do not eat you can smell the aroma. Namely, the entrance of fish, incomparable flavor. However, I have been living in Guangdong, to eat things that are not used to spicy, but the Sichuan has its unique appeal, though cruelly being spicy, but still can not help but mention again, chopsticks, until Cook had eaten so far. And here is not produced by boiled fish with hot red pepper like Shenzhen, but with green peppers do, there is a special aroma, taste delicious than the other places to do more.
Expressway in Sichuan province is relatively developed, the expressway from Chengdu to Leshan the road is good, very smooth. Into the Leshan City, and saw the building is relatively low, and three days down, I do not see an over 10-storey building, on the one hand can be seen from the modernization of Leshan city in the world has not yet been assimilated . Because the working relationship between the hotel we were staying in Xinhua.
Friend who saw the aircraft was introduced Emei television landscape, and she bent to Emei Shan. Because we would also like to come back in the afternoon, Leshan, Emei Shan is no time for the whole swim, but first a tour of Mount Emei scenic spots: baoguosi.
Baoguosi the foot of Mount Emei is the largest one Emei temple is also climbing the gate, is the starting point of Emei Mountain Tours. We are starting from Leshan city, pack a car going about 30 kilometers away Emei city. Today, a little cloudy, much cooler than yesterday, on the road is also under a little light rain. Begun to enter the Mount Emei, the dense woods to bring the feeling of cool air is very good. 8:30 am we had reached the baoguosi the door. A SARS, China's tourism industry has not been fully restored, where visitors are not many. Only a few to pick who the local tour guide in doing the preparatory work. I and Ms. Wang under the guidance of a guide inside the mosque bought a home to preserve a safe and incense, who tour guide told us that today we have two individuals come first, in addition to the abbot of the temple incense on the first, we two individuals are the first time today to burn incense of visitors. We have a step by step guide to this under the guidance of Lord Buddha to every sincere prayer. Baoguosi have 300 years of history, the whole temple covers an area of nearly 4 million square meters, large-scale. A total of four main hall, are Jian Yuqing generation of Tongzhi years, the former to the later, respectively, Maitreya Hall, Daewungjeon, seven Buddhist temple, Buddhist scriptures floor. Building on the mountain, one level higher, with a typical garden-style residential areas in Sichuan style.
Temple, there are tourists staying in other homes, Chilbulbong hall wall there in 1935 Chiang Kai-shek left handwriting: "Loyalty to serve the country." Its side for the room, but also a very elegant name: "To be on mountain room." Only the most expensive in the garden standard rooms (suites, with air conditioning) as long as 150 yuan a day, the most expensive beds (public bath houses) as long as 4 yuan, it is so I can not believe there is such a tourist in the price of accommodation.
Temple, there are three treasures: First, a huge porcelain Buddha hall Chilbulbong; two 7 meters high, 14-layer copper "Kegon Tower" (now moved to Fuhu Si); three 2.3 m high and weighs 25 tons of large tongzhong. We are also going to beat this big bronze bell in order to preserve their peace. In a temple in front of the right, there is a Fa Wu circulation Department, which sell safe bag, jade, statues, scriptures, etc., large enough, I think this is the biggest I've ever seen in circulation at the Fa Wu. I and Wang teachers for family and friends all bought some Fa Wu and asked an elder of the temple's open light of these Fa Wu. I saw that he should first point of the lamp in front of the statue, point incense to light Fawu we want to open on a tray and began mouth mutter prayers, Scripture should be a bar. After a about 15 minutes before the ceremonies done. However, an open-Fa Wu-ray fees are 20 yuan, the next time we go time to think about it. I remember the Six Banyan temple opened in Guangzhou, just do not need to pay.
Less than 10 o'clock we started walking back, the next attraction is the Leshan Giant Buddha. A friend told us that before he came here, in order to take pictures of Buddha can only be by boat to the panorama. We get off straight after the terminals, the fare is 30 yuan a person. Buddha is the location of the Minjiang, Qingyi, Dadu confluence of three rivers of Lingyun Mountain, "Buddha is a mountain, mountain is a Buddha," Buddha-high 71 meters, head height 14.7 meters, the hair there are 1021, ear length 6.72 meters, 5.33 meters long nose, eye length 3.3 m, shoulder width 24 meters, the hand of the middle finger length 8.3 meters, feet wide and 9 meters long and 11 meters can be sitting around one hundred or more, compared with Afghanistan, has called the world's largest Pa Miang Buddha (53 meters high) but also higher than 18 meters, it is by far one of the world's largest stone Buddha. Sanjiang convergence of space for water redirection, you can see a lot of small river surface vortex flow is rather peculiar. According to legend, then flood frequently insidious. Kaiyuan Emperor Xuanzong early (AD 713), Hai Tong Lingyun monks released to kill in order to reduce water potential for the benefit of the people initiated to raise manpower and resources to repair chisel Buddha, to Sadamoto nineteen (AD 803 years) completed, and it took 90 years and cost hundreds of billions of dollars, more than 1,200 years ago. Buddha back Lingyun Hill, pedal Sanjiang (Minjiang, Dadu, Qingyi), imposing. Buddha Maitreya made to take elephant, posture dignified, well-proportioned, cleverly designed, drainage facilities, and hidden, it After the Millennium weathered, is still sitting in the surging river of the River, observing human and marshes. Buddha has a boat to see the benefits, you can see both sides of the main body of the Buddha statues there are two, just as is the Buddha of the guard. On the mountain there are many small caves, stable one by one to see strange things about a small Buddha statues, but unfortunately through a century of sun and rain, corrosion phenomenon has emerged.
Leshan Giant Buddha in the periphery, there is a whole body up to 4000 meters, from several mountain "composed of giant sleeping Buddha." This sleeping Buddha statue limbs complete, outline clear, as if being caught in deep sleep, was overturned trend, dignified gesture to scrutinize. The famous Leshan Giant Buddha Giant Buddha impartial mind just to sit at a site. Giant Buddha's head, body, feet, respectively, by uyu Hill, Lingyun Mountain and Turtle Mountain City, composed of three mountains together lapel. Buddha's head from the whole uyu Hill composition, the mountain stone, bamboo, trees, trails, pavilions, temples, respectively, showing the giant Buddha's hair, eyelashes, nose, lips and jaw; Does the body by Lingyun Mountain composition, the mountains Jiufeng connected, like giant Buddha broad chest, rounded legs, waist and fit; feet tilt of the Buddha foot mountain as part of the tortoise and the city. Buddha's whole posture is very realistic, natural, like Tianzaodishe, there is no trace of artificial machetes, knives. If the next time you see Leshan Giant Buddha, my suggestion is that there must by boat to see, otherwise they can not see any fragmented. Of course, if physically well, you can also go ashore to climb the Big Buddha and then look at the top of the main attractions.
Will be on board staff to promote take pictures with their cameras, 30 Genji photos. Because they account for the best shooting position, without a stable shooting experience on board, you can shoot better pictures for tourists. However, our own shot out of the camera is not bad, but Yaogen people to get into a boat only, in order to save money so be it.
In Leshan, you can see that some middle-aged women to you from time to time the sale of jasmine or white orchids, strung together by a wreath. Carry around a bunch of money for the flowers, smell the flowers, can make people feel refreshed.
We are chartered from 8:00 to 12:00, but spent 150 yuan. Leshan is a taxi starts at 3, only a quarter of the Shenzhen taxi fares starting, so I feel like a taxi here, do not like money.
To a Sichuan specialty must eat here, especially in hot pot, which I do not have to say, the taste is absolutely better than other places.
