Jieyin Hall

The Jieying Hall, known as Xindian in the Song Dynasty and Jieying Temple in the Ming Dynasty, collapsed in the late Ming Dynasty, leaving the Buddha statue lying in the weeds. During the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, an 80-year-old man from Hebei Province made a pilgrimage here. Unable to bear the pain, he vowed not to eat for seven days, sitting in the snow and begging for alms from tourists. After six days of hunger, the monk happened to meet Zhao Yihuang, a Sichuanese mountaineer. Deeply moved, he returned to Chengdu and persuaded Governor Li Zhuo to donate funds for the restoration, which was undertaken by Monk Wenda. After its construction, the temple suffered several fires, leaving only a small temple. Within the temple are the Jieying Hall, housing a statue of Amitabha Buddha, the Main Hall, housing a statue of Sakyamuni, and flanked by statues of Venerable Kasyapa and Venerable Ananda.

You can take the cable car here, and it takes about 2.5-3 hours to hike to the Golden Summit.

Halfway from Leidongping to Jinding, once you get here, you are not far from Jinding.

I had lunch here. The Buddha statues were very solemn. The food was also pretty good.

The eaves of the Jieying Hall, covered in snow, create a truly ethereal and Zen-like atmosphere. If it were snowing, the tranquility would surely be even more extraordinary. I'm very pleased with the photos I took, with the swaying tree shadows and the pavilion halfway up the mountain, and the unmelted snow still lingering.

After arriving at the Leidongping parking lot, we walked to the Jieyin Temple! As we walked, we saw the area where monkeys often hang out. However, there were no monkeys. It was said that they had eaten their fill by the afternoon!

There are two roads to take from Leidongping to Jieyin Temple, a 1.5-kilometer journey. One is a main road to the right, accessible by car, and the other is a winding mountain path to the left, commonly known as the "Eighty-Four Bends."

It takes an hour and a half to walk from the Golden Summit down to the Jieying Hall. There is a little cat outside the hall. It will act coquettishly and hug the legs of the little girls.

If you don't take the cable car to Jinding, you will pass by this place on foot. It has no special features.

I don't have any Buddhist beliefs, so I just took a quick look.

There is a place to take the cable car, but for some reason, there are three cable cars in total, but only one is open, which resulted in waiting for nearly two hours!

The place where you take the cable car to the Golden Summit can be seen as the mountain gate of the Golden Summit. You can also hike to the Golden Summit from here, which is said to take about an hour. If you want to watch the sunrise, you have to get up very early.

The walk from Leidongping to the Jieying Hall is about 1.5 kilometers and takes about 20 minutes, all uphill. The temperature was a bit chilly, but a cotton jacket wasn't necessary; a long-sleeved shirt and long pants were sufficient. You'll continue to sweat as you climb, and even at the Golden Summit, it can get a bit chilly, so a jacket will suffice. We walked to the Jieying Hall and took the cable car, which cost 65 yuan per person. Unfortunately, the cable car didn't open until 6:00 PM, and we arrived at 5:15 AM, leaving us with a long wait. Sunrise started at 6:15 AM, and the ride took about three minutes. After arriving, we still had to walk another 2 kilometers to the Golden Summit and the Ten Thousand Buddhas Summit.

We waited until about 7:30 or 8:00, the sun came out, and we saw the sea of clouds. It was very beautiful and it was worth the trip!

I thought I was climbing up here quickly, but the road to the Golden Summit was full of steep steps, which was really tiring!

Leidongping is a place where you can walk up to the cable car. When there are many tour groups, you usually have to queue up. It is recommended to climb the mountain for fun.

The accommodation is very cheap and convenient for taking the cable car, but it is quite crowded.

The Jieying Hall is a temple that leads people to the Golden Summit.

The Jieyin Hall is not usually visited, but only passed by when taking the cable car.

Named Xindian during the Song Dynasty, it stands at an altitude of 2,540 meters. It was rebuilt into Jieyin Temple in the early Ming Dynasty. It was rebuilt by Zhao Yihuang, a native of Shu, in 1660 during the early Qing Dynasty. It was further rebuilt during the reign of Emperor Kangxi, featuring a hall of bronze and iron arhats. It was destroyed by fire in 1916, the fifth year of the Republic of China, and was not fully restored until 1926. It suffered another fire in 1953, and only one hall was restored, far inferior to its original state. The original site of the temple was used to build a cable-descent station in 1982. It was restored 100 meters away in 1995 and completed in 1997.

The Jieying Hall is located at the foot of Qilipu. It was originally a place to receive pilgrims and provide them with food and lodging. Next to the hall is the passenger cableway that goes up to the Golden Summit.

As the name suggests, the place is located halfway up Mount Emei. When you are halfway up the mountain and feel tired, there is such a place to guide you, so you can refresh your spirits and continue on your journey.

1. You will pass by the Jieying Hall on your way to the Golden Summit. It is 1.5 km away from Leidongping. It is worth going in to see. Although it was later restored 100 meters away from the original site, it was completed in 1997, which means it has a history of 20 years. 20 years is not a long time in history, but it is well maintained.



2. The Jieying Hall, located at an altitude of 2,540 meters, is a typical Qing Dynasty building and is covered in snow for much of the year. "Jieying" is a Buddhist term meaning to guide or teach. According to Buddhist legend, before the birth of Sakyamuni, a Buddha existed in the world. This Buddha was the "Jieying Daoren," the ancestor of Sakyamuni and the leader of the Western Paradise. The Jieying Hall was first built in the Song Dynasty and named the New Hall. It was expanded into the Jieying Temple, also known as the Chaoyang Pavilion, in the early Ming Dynasty. By the end of the Ming Dynasty, the hall had collapsed, and the Buddha statue lay buried in the weeds. During the Shunzhi reign of the Qing Dynasty, an 80-year-old man from Hebei made a pilgrimage here. Unable to bear the suffering, he vowed not to eat for seven days, sitting in the snow and begging for alms from tourists. After six days of hunger, the monk met Zhao Yihuang, a Sichuanese climbing the mountain. Deeply moved, he returned to Chengdu and persuaded the governor to donate funds for its restoration. The hall was rebuilt in the 17th year of the Shunzhi reign of the early Qing Dynasty, and was further rebuilt during the reign of Emperor Kangxi. It was destroyed by fire in 1916. After three years of preparation, construction began in 1919 and was completed in 1926 after seven years. It was destroyed by fire again in 1953, and only one hall was restored, which was far from its original state. The original site of the temple was used to build a cable station in 1982. It was restored in 1995 100 meters away from the original site and completed in 1997.

Named Xindian during the Song Dynasty, the temple is located at the foot of a large mountain, at an altitude of 2,540 meters. In the early Ming Dynasty, it was rebuilt into the Jieying Temple, also known as the Chaoyang Pavilion, but the later halls fell into disrepair. In the 17th year of the Shunzhi reign of the early Qing Dynasty, Zhao Yihuang, a native of Sichuan, rebuilt it in 1660. It was further rebuilt during the reign of Emperor Kangxi, featuring a hall of bronze and iron arhats. In 1916, the temple was destroyed by fire. Upon hearing the news, the great monk Shengqin, who was studying abroad, returned to the mountain and immediately decided to restore the ancestral temple. After three years of preparation, he personally led his disciple Guo Jing and two orders of monks to begin construction in 1919. The massive project required years of arduous effort, and the project was finally completed in 1926. The Jieying Hall, upon completion, was a magnificent structure, with majestic Buddha statues and ornate ritual instruments. Even the painted arhats on the niches were created by Master Zhuchan, demonstrating exquisite artistry. In 1953, it suffered another fire, and only one hall was restored, a far cry from its former glory. The original site of the temple was used to build the Suoxia Station in 1982. It was restored in 1995 100 meters away from the original site and completed in 1997. A consecration ceremony was held in the same year.

There is a ropeway here, which is also a transfer station. There is also a temple

The starting point of the Jinding Cableway has a long queue. If your physical strength allows, it is recommended to climb up.

The Jieying Hall is shrouded in clouds all year round, and you can take a cable car to the Golden Summit.

Nothing special, just average, there are too many temples in Mount Emei

This place is crowded, as it's right next to the cable car. However, there are plenty of accommodations. A triple room is 50 yuan per person, while a single room is only 150 yuan. And we stayed in the converted attic. The quilt was damp, but still quite clean. Eating and washing up require going to the vegetarian restaurant downstairs. The restrooms are even further away. If you want to get up early to watch the sunrise, you can choose to get up at 4 a.m. and hike up, or you can leave at 6 a.m. and take the nearby cable car, which takes only a few minutes. It's very convenient.

All six senses are gathered together, pure thoughts are followed, and the forty-eight vows are carried out to liberate all.

The lotus blossoms with nine levels of compassionate light, guiding billions of sentient beings back to paradise.

The Jieying Hall, one of Mount Emei's main temples, was built during the Song Dynasty. Its architecture is typical of the Qing Dynasty. Covered in snow for much of the year, the hall is surrounded by evergreen pines and cypresses, adding to its solemnity.

When I was queuing here in the dark this morning, I didn’t realize that this temple is actually so big and so beautiful.

I think it is a good place to watch the sea of clouds, and it is also a place where people gather.

When I went there in November 2015, I could vaguely see the sun as soon as I entered the Jieyin Hall. The seam between the clouds and the sky was like a fairyland.

It seems that the cable car will take you to the Jieying Hall. Anyway, I walked a lot, and luckily my legs are very strong.

There's only one place to take the cable car. The only two accommodations are the cable car reception guesthouse and the main temple. Since there are so few, forget about the service. The guesthouse charges exorbitant prices, so if you're not staying in the freezing cold, it's better to stay there. The temples are generally similar; they're not hotels, so having a place to stay is nice. There are only two options for dining, and breakfast is only served at the guesthouse; dinner isn't available at the temples until late. The platform isn't very large, so there's not much to see.

The location of the Jinding Cableway seems to have no other buildings except the cableway.

When it snows, the scenery of the Jieying Hall is very nice.

Jieying Hall is one of the main temples in Mount Emei. It was first built in the Song Dynasty and named Xindian. It was expanded into a temple in the Ming Dynasty and named Jieying Hall. It is also called Chaoyang Pavilion.

This place can be described in four words: a lot of people.

This is the starting point for climbing the Golden Summit and one of the many temples in Mount Emei. Everyone will pass by, but there is nothing special about it.

Jieying Hall is one of the main temples in Mount Emei. It was first built in the Song Dynasty and named New Hall. It was expanded into a temple in the Ming Dynasty.

It's about half an hour away from Leidongping. If you take the cable car up the next day, you will sit here.

The starting point of the Jinding Cable Car is from Leidongping. There are small stalls selling goods on both sides of the road, so you can buy some souvenirs. The cable car is a bit crowded in the morning. There is a queue for buying tickets and waiting for the cable car. It is recommended to buy tickets while queuing for the cable car so that it can be faster, otherwise it will delay the time.

Luckily, the weather was good and the cable car was right here.

After getting out of the cable car, it's not long before you reach the Jieyin Hall. It should be the place where emperors were received in ancient times. The temple is covered with snow, and it has a unique flavor under the vast snow.

Now only a small temple remains of the Jieying Hall. Inside the temple, there's the Jieying Hall, and next to it is the passenger cableway, built in 1988, that leads directly to the Golden Summit. The 2,168-meter-long cableway runs from the Jieying Hall at an altitude of 1,540 meters to the Woyun Temple at 3,048 meters. This is also the only way to reach the Golden Summit on foot.

If only life could be like the first time we met...

The Jieying Hall is a relatively large building. It is the starting point for taking the cable car to the Golden Summit.

The temple is dedicated to the "Jie Yin Taoist," who, according to legend, guides those who chant the Buddha's name to the Western Pure Land. There's also a cable car from the Jie Yin Hall that goes directly to the Golden Summit. I've seen some netizens say the Jie Yin Hall is used to take guests up the mountain. Haha! It turns out there are two types of cable cars: the most common circular type, and the larger "container-style" type we took, which can accommodate hundreds of people per trip. The ride only takes a few minutes, but you have to wait until the line is full, so we waited almost 20 minutes.

There are many options for food and accommodation in this place.

You can see the Chinese culture here, and I have to say that the ancient buildings are really beautiful.

You can see it while you are waiting in line, no need to go in, just look at it

The Jieying Hall is one of the main temples in Mount Emei. Originally built in the Song Dynasty and named the New Hall, it was expanded into a temple in the Ming Dynasty and renamed the Jieying Hall, also known as the Chaoyang Pavilion. By the end of the Ming Dynasty, the hall had fallen into disrepair and collapse. During the Shunzhi reign of the Qing Dynasty, the monk Wenda rebuilt it. It was destroyed by fire in 1917, with only the Luo...

A temple on Mount Emei, where you can take a cable car to the Golden Summit.

Leidongping is a must-go place on the way to Jinding. There is a cable car next to it, which goes up 65 and down 55. If you walk up the mountain, it is about 6.5 kilometers.

The Jieying Hall was named Xindian in the Song Dynasty and Jieying Temple in the Ming Dynasty. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the hall collapsed, leaving the Buddha statue lying in the weeds. During the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, an 80-year-old man from Hebei Province made a pilgrimage here. Unable to bear the pain, he vowed not to eat for seven days, sitting in the snow and begging for alms from tourists. After six days of hunger, the monk happened to meet Zhao Yihuang, a Sichuanese mountaineer. Deeply moved, he returned to Chengdu and persuaded Governor Li Zhuo to donate funds for the restoration, which was then undertaken by Monk Wenda. The Jieying Hall houses a statue of Amitabha Buddha, the Main Hall houses a statue of Sakyamuni, and flanked by statues of Venerable Kasyapa and Venerable Ananda.

Next to the Jieying Hall is the newly constructed passenger cableway, built in 1988, that leads directly to the Golden Summit. Spanning 2,168 meters, it runs from the Jieying Hall at an altitude of 1,540 meters to the Woyun Temple at 3,048 meters. From the cableway carriages, passengers can gaze down upon the misty mountains, the overlapping green mists, and the magical illusion of a fantastical veil. The Golden Summit cableway is currently one of my country's highest, longest single-span, steepest, best-equipped, safest, and most comfortable passenger cableways.

It’s just so-so, just so-so, really just so-so.

A scenic spot on Mount Emei, you can go and see it

The only way to get to the Golden Summit from Leidongping is by cable car.

Whether you're hiking or taking the cable car, you'll need to walk to the Jieying Hall. If you're taking the cable car, you'll still have to walk quite a distance, especially in winter when it's difficult for cars to get up there due to the heavy snow. But I just love how beautiful it is in the snow.

It takes half an hour to walk from Leidongping to the Jieying Hall. On the left is the cable car, which takes you to the Golden Summit in 5 minutes. On the right is the only way to hike to the Golden Summit. There were very few people when we went there, but the dream of hiking to the summit made us continue to climb along the Jieying Hall. I just want to say that it is difficult to climb. However, you will never regret it if you climb it once. We stayed at Taiziping at night, and when we climbed to the summit the next day and saw the sunrise and the sea of clouds, we felt that there was nothing better! Young people with physical strength really should give it a try.

Generally speaking, there are many people who burn incense and worship Buddha, and there is nothing interesting to do. The scenery is okay, but the air is not good.

From Leidongping, you can choose to take the cable car or hike to the Golden Summit. If you choose the cable car, I recommend the one on the right. Each car only seats six people, which offers better views. The road after getting off the bus at Leidongping is covered in snow, so it's recommended to wear non-slip shoes. If you're still worried about falling, you can wear crampons or non-slip straw sandals. My boyfriend and I found them difficult to put on and take off, so we didn't. However, we had bamboo sticks I bought the day before, which helped us get through the climb. You should definitely remove your crampons for the cable car and Golden Summit. You may experience slight tinnitus on the cable car, which is normal. If you're feeling unwell, there's a medical center near the Golden Summit, so you can rest assured. There are food stalls along the way, but they're a bit pricey, so before you head up, stock up on snacks and fruit to quench your thirst if you run out of water. Finding fresh fruit in the mountains is truly rare.

The cable car station, from here you can take the cable car directly to the Golden Summit, or you can find a platform to overlook Mount Emei

There are two ways to get to the Jieying Hall from the top of Leigu Peak. One is via stairs, which are crowded and crowded. There are various food vendors and toys along the way. In winter, they may sprinkle salt, so the ground is covered with snow powder. It's okay if you are careful going up, but it's still easy to fall going down. I didn't use crampons or straw sandals, but my hiking boots were quite slip-resistant. The other way is along the road, which is less crowded and worth a try.

The scenery is really great if you climb slowly. You can enjoy it slowly, and it is best to climb with friends to avoid being bored.

It is located halfway up the mountain, next to the cable car. The weather was not very good when we went there, with heavy fog and light rain, but it was still beautiful. Perhaps this is the legendary "hazy beauty" ~

It is more than 20 minutes' mountain road from Leidongping, and the cable car station is next to it.

Jieying Hall is the starting point for the cable car to the Golden Summit on Mount Emei. It's also a must-see for visitors ascending the Golden Summit. Getting there requires a hike from Leidongping, a route with no public transportation. Fortunately, the hike isn't long, typically taking about 30 minutes. There are monkeys to admire along this stretch of the mountain path. There are also sedan chairs along this path, but I personally find them unsafe. If a horse stumbles, how can a person? If they stumble, they'll protect themselves first—it's human instinct. The tourists would be the ones thrown down the mountain. So, it's best not to ride!

The Jieyin Hall is the only way to get to the Golden Summit. The cable car ticket is also purchased here. You can also walk up the mountain next to it.

Jieying Hall, a temple dedicated to Jieying Buddha. I played here for a while and found that few people came in.

A very worthwhile attraction. It is the only way to get to the Golden Summit.

Mount Emei was a disappointment for our trip. Due to time constraints, the Jieying Hall was the only highest point we reached in the Emeishan Scenic Area. Fortunately, we saw the sea of clouds, which was pretty good.

It's also quite spectacular... I will pass by here

Arriving at the Jieying Hall signifies the approach of the Golden Summit, a truly joyous feeling of near victory. From here, you can vaguely see the entire Buddha. The hike is quite tiring. From here, you can see the sea of clouds at nearly 3,000 meters, which is truly magnificent and beautiful.

You must take the cable car from the Jieying Hall to the Golden Summit...
