Wanfoding is the highest peak of Mount Emei and one of the best places to enjoy the four great views of Mount Emei, including Wanfo Pavilion, Alpine Rhododendron Forest, Black Bear Valley, and Immortal Turning Back.
If you stay at Mount Emei, you can come here in the morning to watch the sunrise. The sun will dye the sea of clouds red and then slowly jump out from the sky.
The bell in Wanfo Pavilion is struck in a very particular way. It is usually struck 108 times: once in the morning and once in the evening. Each time, it is struck 18 times quickly, 18 times slowly, and 18 times neither too fast nor too slow. This is repeated twice, for a total of 108 times.
The best time to view "Ten Thousand Buddhas Paying Homage to the Emperor", one of the ten new scenic spots of Mount Emei, is from 9:00 to 10:00 and from 15:00 to 16:00. However, due to some reasons, the Ten Thousand Buddhas Peak has been temporarily closed.

As a non-devout believer, I didn't feel anything when I saw the building after reaching the Golden Summit, but the view of the mountains from the Ten Thousand Buddhas Summit was still very stunning.
Wanfoding is the highest peak of Mount Emei and one of the best places to enjoy the four great views of Mount Emei, including Wanfo Pavilion, Alpine Rhododendron Forest, Black Bear Valley, and Immortal Turning Back.
In order to protect the natural environment, it is now impossible to reach the Ten Thousand Buddhas Peak from the Golden Summit. The road leading to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Peak is hung with colorful prayer flags, which embody people's wishes.
I was so lucky! The foggy Jinding suddenly cleared up, and I saw the beautiful sea of clouds.
We were very lucky. There was fog at the foot of the mountain, but on a sunny day there was a sea of clouds on the top of the mountain. The scenery was very beautiful, like a fairyland on earth.
There is a temple in the clouds, it looks so mysterious from afar, but now you are not allowed to go, so you can’t go...
Wanfoding, the name sounds like it should be very spectacular, but when I went there, I couldn't get in and could only watch from a distance. I don't know if this is the reason that affects the scenery~
About Wanfoding. I went there with my friends on New Year's Day. It was worse than I thought and more beautiful than I thought. I don't know how to describe it. When my friends and I were looking at Wanfoding from Jinding, we suddenly had the idea to go and see it. I didn't expect to actually go. Wanfoding is not open to tourists. We walked a long section of the train track, which was scary for me because I'm afraid of heights😥 But the scenery was really great! Wanfoding did not disappoint me! It was super beautiful! I like Wanfoding, it's more beautiful than Jinding♡ヽ╯c╰
Laofuzi: "The past is over a thousand years·Jade Trees and White Flowers 6⃣️" - Snow Scenery of Mount Emei 17·Yuan·15 am "Bu Suan Zi·Silver Dressed in White" The jade is covered with rime, and the white flowers are like a cold mirror. The ice and snow are full of charming colors, and the shadows are graceful. The beautiful woman dances and looks back, and the mountains are connected to the sky. The graceful and refreshing, the magnificent style is awe-inspiring! The fourth day of the ninth month of the Dingyou year
What I can see in the distance is the Ten Thousand Buddhas Peak, but in order to protect the ecological environment, the fairyland I long for is no longer open to the public.
Pity.
It took nearly 2 hours to take a sightseeing bus from the foot of the mountain and then take a cable car to reach the Golden Summit, but it was worth it!
The best time to view the Wanfoding of Mount Emei is in autumn and winter, when the Wanfoding in the sea of clouds looks like a fairy mountain.
The scenery on the Golden Summit of Mount Emei is really nice
The highest peak of Mount Emei, Wanfoding, is 3,099 meters above sea level. It stands majestically on the top of the "Great Light Mountain" with steep cliffs and flat plains. It is the heritage site with the highest altitude and the best natural ecological protection among the four famous Buddhist mountains in China.
There is a copper temple on the top of Wanfoding, and the viewing platform on the side of the temple can be used to see the four wonders of the Golden Summit - sunrise, sea of clouds, Buddha light, and magic lamp. Every morning, looking down from the Golden Summit, you can see clouds and mist like the sea, sometimes rolling like waves, sometimes calm and peaceful, which is really magical and wonderful.
Just stop and look at the Ten Thousand Buddhas Peak, no need to say more, it is shocking.
This time I only looked at the Ten Thousand Buddhas Peak from the Golden Summit. One day I will climb it and experience another feeling of overlooking the mountains.
Wanfoding is a cliff on the right side of Jinding. It was developed before, but now it is forbidden to go there. You can see that the terrain is very majestic, and it is a perfect match with the sea of clouds.
You must reach the summit when climbing Mount Emei. Although I didn’t see the sunrise over the sea of clouds, fog can easily form on the mountain.
With a heart that wants to fly, it seems to cross the sky. Unfortunately, there is too little time.
The highest peak of Mount Emei, Wanfoding, stands at an altitude of 3,099 meters on the top of the "Da Guangming Mountain". It is the highest and best protected natural ecological heritage site among the four famous Buddhist mountains in China. There are scenic spots such as Wanfo Pavilion, Alpine Rhododendron Forest, Black Bear Valley, and Immortal Turning Back. Wanfo Pavilion is 21 meters high and majestic. The "Ancient Wishing Bell" hanging on the top of the building is solemn and majestic.
I can't go there anymore, but looking at it from afar, it still looks beautiful.
It is not open, and the Wanfoding in the distance looks a bit lonely.
The spectacular view is near the Golden Summit. You must go and see it when you arrive.
Going west from the Golden Summit is the Thousand Buddha Summit, and after the Thousand Buddha Summit is the Ten Thousand Buddha Summit. This is the highest peak of Mount Emei, with an altitude of 3,099 meters. Now, since the original sightseeing train has stopped running for some reason, most tourists will not visit the Ten Thousand Buddha Summit, which has become a place full of weeds and thorns. On the top of the mountain is the Ten Thousand Buddha Pavilion, which is 21 meters high and majestic.
It is really spectacular when the weather is good, it is worth recommending
It's so cold in the winter. The snow-covered Wanfoding looks even more majestic and steep.
The scenery is very good, and if you are lucky you can see the sea of clouds!
There is a copper temple on the top of Wanfoding, and the viewing platform on the side of the temple can be used to see the four wonders of the Golden Summit - sunrise, sea of clouds, Buddha light, and magic lamp. Every morning, looking down from the Golden Summit, you can see clouds and mist like the sea, sometimes rolling like waves, sometimes calm and peaceful, which is really magical and wonderful.
On clear nights without moonlight, sometimes there are glowing lights, sometimes bright and sometimes dim, of varying sizes. This is the wonder of Emei Mountain - the magic lamp. The most magical is the "Buddha's light". When the wind is calm and the sun is bright, after 2 or 3 o'clock in the afternoon, if you lean over and look down from the Jinding Sheshen Rock, you will sometimes see a colorful halo floating in the clouds, with your own shadow in the halo, and the shadow moves with you, never losing sight of each other. No matter how many people there are, people will always see their own shadow.
The scenery is beautiful, with distant mountains and clear boundaries between clouds, beautiful
The scenery here is really amazing, the sea of clouds is very shocking, and the weather was really good when we went there
The view from the top of the mountain to watch the sunrise is worth it. Please keep warm and avoid slipping.
This is the most unforgettable place. The hikers I met on the road and I went there by the small railway track. The highest point of the small railway track should be 5 meters above the ground. It is 40 cm wide and there are no protective measures. For people who are afraid of heights, it is quite exciting. However, there was a 70-year-old man who said that he had lived in Wanfoding for decades. He had to go back and forth many times every day. Now he can walk very fast on it. I was pulled by a boy with a bamboo climbing stick, otherwise it would be difficult to move forward.
The ink-and-wash landscape and the Golden Summit are in the distance
Wanfoding is the highest scenic spot and natural ecological protection area among the four famous Buddhist mountains in China. It is also the highest world natural and cultural heritage site in China. It is worth visiting when you come to Emei.
The most beautiful scenery is on the top of the dangerous mountain, and you can be bold enough to "break the rules" once in a while.
After the 512 earthquake, Wanfoding became a forbidden area and can no longer be visited.
After all the hard work, those who can see the sea of clouds are lucky. I have been up there twice and I was lucky both times.
Standing on it and looking at it, it's all sea of clouds, very spectacular!
We went up there on the afternoon of the 9th. The weather was not good and it was raining heavily, so we drove the car to the zero-kilometer parking lot, then took a sightseeing bus to Leidong Cave, and then took the cable car to the Golden Summit.
There were not many people along the way. In the cable car, there were only four of us in the whole passage, and the bus was also empty. It was in stark contrast to the Jiuzhaigou I just visited two days ago, which was packed with people.
After arriving at Jinding, we stayed at Xianghuaili Hotel. After putting down our things, we went to take a look at Jinding. Everything was covered in clouds and mist and we couldn’t see anything. We took a few photos in the clouds and mist and then went down. The air was full of fog and water vapor and it was very cold, so it was just right to wear a thin down jacket.
The distant mountains are visible in the clouds, and the top of the Thousand Buddhas is looming, which adds a bit of artistic conception to it, and it is really beautiful!
Wanfoding has been closed after the Wenchuan earthquake and can only be viewed from afar from the Golden Summit.
Take the cable car to the Golden Summit, watch the sunrise, and then visit the Ten Thousand Buddha Peaks, which is a very spectacular sight. You can also see the Gongga Snow Mountain.
The Ten Thousand Buddha Peak alone has a stronger humanistic atmosphere. It is spectacular.
After getting out of the Jinding cableway, you can see the place. At this time, I opened my phone to check my altitude, which was already 3,000. In cold weather, you can only take care of yourself with scarves, gloves, hats, and even masks. . . .
Wanfoding, the highest peak in Mount Emei, is 3,099 meters above sea level and is quite beautiful.
The Golden Summit gives people a sacred feeling, purifies the soul, and makes people feel so insignificant in nature. You can see the four wonders at the Golden Summit - sunrise, sea of clouds, Buddha light, and magic lamp. Because we hiked for 10 hours the day before, we were too tired the next day, so we didn't see the sunrise, but we were very happy to see the sea of clouds. It was a spectacular sight. The blue sky and white clouds are completely different from the scenery under the Golden Summit. It was really foggy below, but the sun was shining above. Especially when you take the cable car up, you can more clearly experience the two extreme weather conditions. Mount Emei is really worth the trip. Like
It was my first time seeing the sea of clouds. It was so beautiful! I concluded that it had rained for a few days. Even if there was fog in the morning, as long as the weather forecast said it would clear up, I would have a chance to see the sea of clouds if I went up the mountain in the afternoon.
The highest peak of Mount Emei, Wanfoding, is 3,099 meters above sea level. It stands majestically on the top of the "Great Light Mountain" with steep cliffs and flat plains. It is the heritage site with the highest altitude and the best natural ecological protection among the four famous Buddhist mountains in China.
It is the Emeishan primitive forest ecological tourism area, with scenic spots such as the Ten Thousand Buddha Pavilion, alpine azalea forest, Black Bear Valley, and Immortal Turning Back. The Ten Thousand Buddha Pavilion is 21 meters high and majestic, and the "Ancient Wishing Bell" hanging on the top of the building is solemn and majestic.
Wanfoding Scenic Area has lush vegetation, towering ancient trees, wild vines around trees, and many birds and animals. The original landscape is well preserved. Climb to the top and look out, the sky is high and the clouds are light, the peaks are undulating, the silver tip of Gongga Snow Mountain pierces the sky, and the big and small Wawu Mountains lie across the clouds; looking back at the Golden Summit, it is steep and majestic, the cliffs are thousands of feet high, and the Huazang Temple is magnificent. Watch the sunrise and sunset, feel the rotation of the world, and only I stand still; watch the sea of clouds and the Buddha's light, and experience the fairyland on earth and the endless dreams. The scenery is different throughout the year: watch the azalea in spring, hear the birds in summer, watch the red leaves in autumn, and enjoy the jade trees in winter.
Although I didn't see the golden light at the top of Wanfoding, it was still worth it to appreciate the sea of clouds at Emei Mountain. It seems that I have good luck, but my phone is too bad, so I can't capture the majestic sea of clouds at that time!
It was so beautiful. I could only hear: It was so beautiful, wow, ...
Wanfoding is the highest point of Mount Emei. But it was not open when we went there in 2012. We were not allowed to go there. I saw a cliff in the distance. I really wanted to jump off it, haha
Looking at Wanfoding from the Golden Summit, the clouds and mist in the distance really make it feel like a fairyland. It reminds me of the scene when I was a child where the Jade Emperor lived when Sun Wukong made trouble in the Heavenly Palace. It's so beautiful!! You can also take a small train to Wanfoding, but it's a pity that the train is closed because it is under repair. It's so unpleasant!!! I can only take a photo in front of the station as a souvenir, so I give the service a so-so rating.
The highest point in Mount Emei. Few people go here, it is very quiet, and it is also a good place to watch the sunrise. There is a small railway and stairs leading to the Golden Summit.
There used to be a small train leading to Wanfoding. The scenery along the way was very beautiful. I don't know why it is closed now.
This is a good place for true meditation. There is no noisy shouting, only the clear chirping of birds. The heavy fog makes this place even more mysterious.
That's Wanfoding, and it's more than 5 kilometers from Jinding. So I didn't go there. But from this angle, the name of Wanfoding is really worthy of its name. You can see all the mountains at a glance. Standing on the top of the cliff, the mountains are like thousands of Buddhas surrounding you.
A very fairy-like temple. Due to the snow, the road to Wanfoding was blocked by snow, so we could not get through and could only look at it from afar.
The platform is not big, but it is the highest peak of Mount Emei. Perhaps, now, apart from hikers, few people come to see it. The door is closed, and there is a Bodhisattva enshrined inside.
Wanfoding is the highest peak of Mount Emei, with an altitude of 3,099 meters. On the top of the peak is the 21-meter-high Wanfo Pavilion, which is the tallest temple building in Chinese Buddhism and a good place to enjoy the four great views of Mount Emei. There was originally a small rail train connecting to the Golden Summit, but it was later discontinued for various reasons. There is no mountain road between the Golden Summit and Wanfoding. I have seen some hikers walking on the small train track about a foot wide on the Internet. I feel dizzy when I see those pictures. The beauty is precious, but life is more precious.
The sea of clouds, sunrise, and rime in winter are all very beautiful. We went there in winter and caught the sunrise, which was very beautiful. The sea of clouds was also spectacular.
Arriving at the top of the Ten Thousand Buddhas, the sun has just broken through the clouds, and all the troubles in life will suddenly become clear when you see these scenes.
Unfortunately, when I went there, the train to Wanfoding had stopped running, so I couldn't go there. But the view of Wanfoding from Jinding was also quite great, especially when there was a sea of clouds.
This place is beautiful no matter how you take pictures of it, but there was no sunshine when I went there, so I felt depressed...
Remember, the highest point of Mount Emei is at Wanfoding, not at Jinding.
