Located on the southwest periphery of the Sichuan Basin, Mt.

stand facing each other resembling the delicate eyebrows of
a Chinese classic beauty. lt is also celebrated far and near
for its fabulous scenic nature and the legendary Buddhist
mountain.Mt. Emei is one of the four holy mountains of Buddhism
in China.The other three areMt. Putuo in Zhejiang, Mt. Wutai
in Shanxi and Mt. |
|
Jiuhua
in Anhui. Mt. Emei is dedicated to the bodhisattva Puxian.
It is located 160 km southwest of Chengdu
and 36 km from Leshan Giant Buddha.
The first temples were built as early as the beginning of
the Eastern Han Dynasty. They were originally Daoist temples.
The construction of Buddhist monasteries started with the
coming of Buddhism to China in the 2nd century. The bodhisattva
Puxian is supposed to have taught here at one time. During
the Ming and Qing eras, the monasteries and temples numbered
200; today, 20 still remain.
Dotted the mountains are Baoguo (dedication) Temple, Fuhu(
tiger in ambush) Temple, Qingyin (pure note) Pavilion, Heilongjiang
Plank Road, Honchunping Terrace, Jiulao (9 olds) Cavern, Wannian
( myriad years) Temple and Xixiang (Elephant Bathing) Pool.
On top of that, there are on the Golden Summit spectacular
displays of Sunrise, Buddhist Halo, a Sea of |
| Cloud
and the 'Sacred Lamp'. Acclaimed as the acme of perfection
are those brilliant rhododendrons, dove-tree ( a rare species)
, sweet-sounding lye-frog and amusing monkeys. |
