The golden eaves and iron-gray glazed tiles were supposed to be a solemn temple, but they looked particularly close after the snow.

Fluttering snowflakes, undulating mountains, white sea of clouds, and Mount Emei made of powder and jade are like a fairyland !

"The clouds embrace the snow of the half ridge, and the flowers spit out a stream of smoke" - Mr. Yu Guangzhong casually described the majesty and delicacy of a mountain, which is Emei.

Mount Emei Snow Bud Base

How can you not taste a cup of Emei Snow Buds when you come to Mount Emei, since ancient times, the famous mountains have produced good tea, and the snow buds of Mount Emei are famous far and wide, and the next day we will go straight to the Mount Emei Snow Bud Organic Production Base to gain an in-depth understanding of the unique charm of Snow Bud tea culture.

"One mountain, one tea, Emei Snow Buds", Emei Snow Buds have run through the cultural history of Emei camellia, and have become a royal tribute as early as the early years of the Tang Dynasty, and are listed as one of the top ten famous teas in China by the tea saint Lu Yu.

An

excellent location at 30 degrees north latitude, the temperature is suitable all year round, the snow cover slowly melts, seeps into the soil, and the snow water irrigation nurtures the tea trees. It has become a model of alpine forest tea, and the small tea contains not only the nourishment of the essence of the fairy mountain world, but also the precipitation of thousands of years of culture and time.

In the Emei Snow Bud Base, you can also experience picking tea, making tea and drinking tea, and seeing the modern tea-making process, but unfortunately the weather is not beautiful, and it rained drizzly when we arrived. Finally, it is also good to choose to taste tea indoors, brew tea lightly and slowly, chat and laugh with friends, and spend a holiday with the aroma of tea.

Cooking tea around the stove has been more popular recently, and you can also experience it here, putting snacks such as oranges, sweet potatoes, longan, peanuts and other snacks around the stove, every minute and every second is extremely comfortable, Experiencing such a slow life in addition to being busy is the right way to open up winter.

Wannian Temple - Bailong Cave - Qingyin Pavilion - Ecological Monkey Area - Wuxiangang (

walking). The Emei Mountain Scenic Area is very large, there are many choices of play routes, the physical requirements are not high, friends who don't want to run wild can be like me, take the ropeway to Wannian Temple, start hiking from Wannian Temple, pass through Bailong Cave - Qingyin Pavilion - Ecological Monkey Area - and finally walk to Wuxiangang Station to take a car, the total length is about ten kilometers, not particularly tiring.

After taking the Wannian Temple ropeway, there is still a short distance from Wannian Temple, along the wet stone steps and path slowly up, the simple red wall is quiet and long, Wannian Temple is the oldest temple in Mount Emei and the first of the eight temples in Mount Emei, so there are many reasons to visit.

Wannian Temple was founded in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and was renamed Baishui Puxian Temple in the Northern Song Dynasty. During the Ming Wanli period, Ming Shenzong Zhu Yijun gave a plaque "Shengshou Wannian Temple", at its most glorious, the temple had 13 layers, and later fired many times, except for the beamless brick hall, few ancient buildings survived, and there are mountain gates, Maitreya Hall, Prajna Hall, Pilu Hall, Wei'e Hall, Daxiong Hall, etc.

The whole temple is beautifully laid out, sitting west and facing east, the monks in the temple will chant scriptures and pray for blessings in the morning, if you come early, you can see the chanting scene, around the temple, the ancient trees are towering, and the trees are shady, The incense is vigorous, without any commercial atmosphere, and some are just mottled traces of history.

The most distinctive feature of the temple is the beamless brick hall, which is also the only dome-roofed building, the four-square-shaped dome-roofed tower-like structure implies the "round place", the hall enshrines the bronze statue of Puxian cast in the Song Dynasty, and on the walls on all sides, there are ten thousand Buddhas surrounded, which is extremely beautiful. In the twenty-eighth year of the Ming Dynasty (1600), the imperial court gave a lot of money to Mount Emei to build this beamless brick hall.

Add a picture description

This time I came to Wannian Temple, and I was fortunate to see the three treasures of Zhenshan in Emei Mountain, "Ancient Buddha's Tooth, Wanli Golden Seal and Bayeux Sutra", which is said to be never exhibited to the public, especially this "Buddha's tooth", which is 1.28 feet long and weighs 6.5 kg, which was paid by Sri Lankan monks during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. According to legend, Shakyamuni was cremated after Nirvana, and his whole body became a small relic, with only his teeth intact, which has a history of 200,000 years and is quite precious.

Through thousands of years of history, in the morning bells and evening drums, after the vicissitudes of the world, Wannian Temple still stands in the majestic mountains of Mount Emei, and feels the great rivers and mountains of the motherland and the long history and culture.

Coming out of Wannian Temple, you will go all the way down the mountain to the direction of Qingyin Pavilion, and you will pass by a white dragon cave in the middle, and there is a couplet in the temple that reads "The white dragon of the ages has passed on a good story, and the seven-fold treasure tree is planted by the clouds", this couplet praises a story of Bai Suzhen's cultivation here, that is, the Qingfeng Cave often mentioned in the "Legend of the New White Lady", the White Dragon Cave is not too big, but the two alders in it are very famous, and it is said that walking around the altar twice will live a hundred years.

Qingyin Pavilion is one of the eight major temples of Mount Emei, where the mountains and rivers are surrounded by beautiful scenery, the two streams meet in front of the temple, and the stone bridge across the two streams and the sound of gurgling water have created one of the ten views of Mount Emei "Double Bridge Qingyin", and the Jin Dynasty poet Zuo Si once wrote "Why bother with silk and bamboo, the landscape has clear sound". It is a relatively smooth route from here to the ecological monkey area, at an altitude of about 710 meters.

The Emei Mountain Ecological Monkey Area is located under Hongchun Ping, near the "first line of sky" on Qingyin Pavilion, is a large natural wild monkey area in China, friends who like to see monkeys must come here, the little monkeys of Emei Mountain are notoriously cute, mainly Tibetan chief monkeys, relatively mild, so this place has also become a living landscape on Mount Emei.

It is recommended that in the ecological monkey area, try not to carry food and other things to go, the monkey laymen here are very enthusiastic, will take the initiative to find tourists to play, not afraid of strangers at all, may run to you and take a photo with you.

Walking to Wuxian Gang, even if this part of the journey is over, I also went to see "Digital Tour Emei" on the way back, and experienced a 5G+ immersively High-tech technology presents a simulation effect consistent with reality, allowing your whole person to perceive a "real" scene from hearing, sight, and touch.

Baoguo Temple - only Mount Emei

The Baoguo Temple at the foot of the mountain is the first temple to really enter Mount Emei, the Buddhist Association and Buddhist Activity Center of Mount Emei are here, the temple was built in the Ming Wanli period, is one of the eight famous temples in the mountain, formerly known as "Huizongtang", in the forty-second year of Kangxi, the Kangxi Emperor took the meaning of "serving the country and the lord's grace" in the Buddhist scriptures, and the imperial title "Baoguo Temple" plaque has been used to this day.

Before entering the temple, I saw the incense from a distance, and it was said that the incense of Baoguo Temple was very effective, so don't miss it if you come.

The

buildings in the temple are simple and elegant, surrounded by green forests, and the mountain gate hangs the three characters "Baoguo Temple" written by the Kangxi Emperor himself, and you can also enjoy the only cultural landscape among the ten views of Emei——" The Holy Evening Bell".

Before

I came to Mount Emei, I heard how shocking the drama fantasy city of "Only Mount Emei" directed by Wang Chaoge was, from the theater to the set, lighting to the actors' performances are all amazing. I heard that "Only Mount Emei" will resume its performance at the end of this month, and I am looking forward to it!

Precautions:
