[Emei Impression]
Most people's impression of Mount Emei comes from the "Emei School" in martial arts novels, but what about the real Mount Emei? Mount Emei, one of the "four famous Buddhist mountains" in China, the dojo of Puxian Bodhisattva, the image of Puxian Bodhisattva is always riding a six-tusked white elephant, as a symbol of great willingness and complete merit, the bronze statue of Puxian riding an elephant in the Song Dynasty located in Wannian Temple in Mount Emei, the largest existing ancient bronze Buddha statue in China! The 48-meter-high golden statue of the Ten Directions is currently the largest and tallest statue of the Ten Directions in the world, and has also become a holy place for countless monks and believers to come from thousands of miles away to worship.
Mount Emei is beautiful in the world, and the world culture and nature are double heritage, "the clouds are green, the hair is far away, it is really like a moth eyebrow, thin and long, beautiful and gorgeous, so it is called Emei Mountain." It can be seen that the beauty of Mount Emei is extraordinary, the sunrise, the sea of clouds, the Buddha's light, the sacred lamp, and the four wonders on the golden dome of Mount Emei attract countless tourists all year round, but not everyone has the fate to see it.
traditional peak season of Mount Emei Scenic Area has always been summer, but I prefer Mount Emei in winter, the probability of encountering good weather in winter is the highest, watching the sunrise and the sea of clouds is basically not a problem, and the snow scenery of Mount Emei is really beautiful, who said that you must go to the northeast to see the snow, the snow scenery of Mount Emei is more full of aura, beautiful and moving!
In fact, in addition to enjoying the scenery of Mount Emei, there are many interesting ways to play, such as soaking in hot springs, picking tea and tasting tea, immersing yourself in watching dramas, skiing and camping... Mount Emei is now holding the 2022 Sichuan Ice and Snow Hot Spring Tourism Festival and the 24th Mount Emei Mountain Ice and Snow Hot Spring Festival, with real money and silver 5000W consumption coupons distributed, tickets, tickets, and ropeway tickets for 1 yuan flash sale, what are you waiting for for such an affordable activity, let's go and experience the different Mount Emei in winter.

[Only Mount Emei] "Only Mount Emei"
, which has been in mind for a long time, finally unveiled her mystery
As the pioneering work of director Wang Chaoge's new "only" series, after experiencing it in person, only the words "shock" and "novelty" came to mind
Different from the "Impression" and "See You Again" series, "Only Mount Emei" breaks the boundary between theater performances and live-action performances, the audience follows the actors, travels and shuttles in different types of theaters, watches the performance and actors interact with each other at close range, the audience and the actors seem to be integrated with the whole performance, this is really a new viewing experience, and you can feel all the emotions of the actors, as if they have also become one of them, staging a big drama to find their lives!
I have also seen some "walking and watching" immersive performances before; But the scale is relatively small, usually only a few dozen people, so when you first see the theater of "Only Mount Emei", it can only be described as shocking!
Thetheater on the clouds alone can accommodate thousands of people, so many audiences follow the actors to shuttle in different scenes, experience, and communicate with the actors up close, this scene is really amazing!
After watching the performance, I realized that many of the actors were local villagers, and I felt that some of the actors were a little immature but very sincere. It makes people feel that what they see in front of them is what they have experienced and experienced, and it can resonate
more
If you go to Mount Emei, you must not miss "Only Mount Emei", and you will definitely regret the series if you don't watch it!
The hot springs of Mount Emei have always been very famous, friends from Sichuan and even the whole country will come here, and Chengdu people regard this place as the first choice for soaking in hot springs in winter.
The water source of Mount Emei Hot Spring comes from the radon hot spring hidden 3,000 meters underground, and the geological attribute is the circulation and heating of the hot spring in the deep part of the Triassic Qilianglushan Fault under the Paleozoic, and about 2,500 years ago, it was known as the "Great E Divine Water" by the two gates of Mount Emei Road and Buddha. Hot spring water is rich in magnesium, metaboric acid, calcium, selenium, radon and other micromineral elements that are beneficial to human health. The radon content per cubic meter is 191.66-321.53BP, which can be called the best hot spring and has a variety of benefits for the body.
There are many hot springs in Mount Emei, and the more recommended ones are the yoga hot springs of the Emei Mountain Hotel, the forest hot springs of the Hongzhushan Hotel and the Lingxiu hot springs of the Emei Mountain Hot Spring Hotel, For accommodation, you can directly choose a hotel corresponding to the three hot springs.
There are restaurants in the hotel that provide Chinese food or buffet, the taste is good, the price is also reasonable, if you don't want to go out, you can eat directly in the hotel, and then soak in the hot springs. We chose the buffet dinner at Hongzhushan Hotel for the first night.
in time for Christmas, the strong festive atmosphere, the buffet is very rich, in addition to the more common dishes of the buffet, some local special delicacies of Mount Emei are specially prepared , very intimate.
I heard that Lingxiu Hot Spring also has an open-air hot spring barbecue, and I feel very comfortable when I hear it, and I will bring my family to soak in the hot spring to eat barbecue during the Spring Festival
[ In
the history of more than 4,000 years of civilization development since the written record of Emei Mountain, the history of Emei camellia and its tea culture occupy a very important position, and they form a grand view of Emei Mountain culture with Emei Mountain Taoism, Buddhism, Confucianism and Emei martial arts culture, according to the classical documents that can be studied, the history of Emei camellia tea activities can be traced back to the earliest primitive farming period in the Emei area of BC, which is roughly more than 3,000 years ago.
Due to the terrain, the middle of Mount Emei is cloudy and foggy all year round, which is especially suitable for the growth of tea, so the quality of tea in Mount Emei is very good. Emei Xueya Organic Tea Base is distributed in the valley of the mountains at an altitude of 1,000 meters in the core scenic spot of Emei Mountain, covering an area of 3,000 acres, surrounded by mountains, forests and seas like smoke, integrating tea production and processing, tea production visits, tea picking experience, and Zen space tea tasting, which is the golden tea garden at the core of Emei Mountain.
If you come to Emei in spring, you must go to the snow bud base to feel the tea picking and tea making, if you come here in winter, you can feel the special hot tea around the stove this year, Paired with organic tea from Mount Emei, it is naturally interesting.
tasted the organic green tea and black tea of Emei Xueya, it is really fragrant, sweet and delicious, although I don't know much about tea, but I can still feel that the brand of tea is very high, If you want to bring some specialties or souvenirs from Mount Emei home to give to relatives and friends, tea from Mount Emei is a very good choice.
【Wannian Temple】
Mount Emei is the dojo of Puxian Bodhisattva, there are many temples from the foot of the mountain to the golden peak, and the "Wannian Temple" located in the middle of the mountain is the oldest temple among them, and it is also the first of all temples.
From the Visitor Center at the foot of the mountain, you can take the bus directly to the parking lot of Wannian Temple in the middle of the mountain, then take the ropeway and walk for another five minutes to Wannian Temple
Wannian Temple was founded in the Jin Dynasty, and the Northern Song Dynasty was renamed Baishui Puxian Temple. During the Ming Wanli period, Ming Shenzong gave a plaque "Shengshou Wannian Temple". When Wannian Temple was glorious, the temple had 13 layers, and then it caught fire many times, the most recent of which was in 1964, and now the only remaining ancient building in the temple is the beamless brick hall built in the Ming Dynasty. The beamless brick hall was built by Ming Shenzong to pray for his mother's 70th birthday, all made of bricks, without a single wood, one pillar or one tile, which is an imitation of the Indian Gena temple building, which is a square dome-topped tower structure, which means "round place". 
Hall enshrines a bronze statue of Puxian riding an elephant, which has a longer history than the beamless brick hall, was built in the Song Dynasty, and is the largest existing ancient bronze Buddha statue in China! When the bronze statue of Puxian was cast, there was no brick hall, only a wooden statue pavilion. In 1599, the statue of Puxian was destroyed by fire.
Wannian Temple also contains the treasures of Zhenshan Mountain in Mount Emei, the "Buddha's Tooth", the Bayeux Sutra and the Wanli Golden Seal, which are usually not open
to tourists
[Qingyin Pavilion + Ecological Monkey Area]
Although I have been to Mount Emei more than ten times, including a hike from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, I have not seen all its beauty, that is because Mount Emei is too big, from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, the drop is about 2,500 meters, ten miles of different days, a mountain has four seasons, the scenery is different, and each has its own charm. But when you come to Mount Emei, you must check in, which is the Qingyin Pavilion and the Ecological Monkey Area in the middle of the mountain.
One of the ten views of Emei, "Double Bridge Qingyin", a pavilion with red eaves in the middle, there is a stone bridge on both sides of the pavilion, which spans the black and white waters, shaped like wings, so it is called Shuangfei Bridge. The black water on the right side originates from the Black Dragon Pool under the Jiulao Cave, around Hongchun Ping, the water is like a daisy, also known as the Heilongjiang; The white water on the left originates from the Sancha River under Gongbei Mountain, around Wannian Temple, and the water is white, also known as the Bailongjiang River. All year round, day and night, the sound of water echoes, this sound of water is single and clear, plus two bridges, so it is known as "double bridge clear sound".
Qingyin Pavilion, known as Niuxin Temple in the Tang Dynasty, was changed to Woyun Temple by Zen Master Huitong of Jiangling during the reign of Emperor Xizong of Tang; During the Ming Dynasty, Zen Master Guangji took the word "Qingyin" in the Jin Dynasty poet Zuo Si's "Zhaoyin Poem", "Why bother with silk and bamboo, the mountains and rivers have clear sounds", and changed the name of the temple to "Qingyin Pavilion". Historically, the pavilion caught fire three times and is now being rebuilt after 1917; Due to the limitation of the terrain, Qingyin Pavilion has only one hall, although the Qingyin Pavilion is small, but the terrain is dangerous, condescending, surrounded by mountains and waters, and the scenery is beautiful, converging into a picture of green mountains and green waters that integrate temples, landscapes and gardens. The
ecological monkey area is located near the "first line of sky" under Hongchun Ping and on Qingyin Pavilion, and is currently the largest natural wild monkey area in China, covering an area of about 10 square kilometers.
As long as the immortal mountain is a great place. The monkey buddies who grew up on Mount Emei were also stained with light because of this, and they were deeply influenced by the aura of heaven and earth. They are not only proficient in various climbing and jumping stunts, but also are not surprised by people and are good at playing with passers-by. So spiritual, no wonder it is called "Emei Spirit Monkey".
The spirit monkeys of Mount Emei can be said to be the best spokesperson of Mount Emei, and whenever Mount Emei is mentioned, the first image that comes to mind for many people is these stubborn monkeys, that is, they want to get close, but they dare not approach because of their notoriety. Indeed, in the past, when the management was not perfect, various tragedies caused by monkeys would occur on Mount Emei every year, and now, tourists are often snatched bags and bitten by monkeys.But in fact, as long as you don't make them feel like you will hurt them, they are still very docile and cute (reminder: don't carry small bags, plastic bags and the like in your hands, don't pretend to have food in your hands to deceive them, don't make aggressive movements, don't scare them with sounds or movements, etc.),
of the monkeys that tourists in the ecological monkey area can see are "seen in the world", and they are used to seeing people coming and going every day, and they just want to beg for a bite of food. Therefore, if people do not offend me, I do not offend others, show your kindness, and they will not hurt you.
Coming to Mount Emei so many times, the monkeys in the ecological monkey area are considered to be a more concentrated place in Mount Emei, and there will be more little monkeys, although on the way to the Golden Peak from Leidongping to the Jieyin Hall, occasionally encounter monkeys, but most of them are big and fat, and it is rare to see these elves and cute little monkeys, so the ecological monkey area is definitely the best place to watch monkeys in Mount Emei.
The
golden dome is the highest point and the end point of tourists visiting Mount Emei, at an altitude of 3077 meters, the golden dome of Mount Emei was built in the Tang Dynasty, the roof is covered by tin tiles, today's golden dome is different from the past, it can really be described as domineering, the most dazzling thing on the golden dome is this towering golden statue of Puxian Bodhisattva, you can see it shining in the sun from a distance.
This Buddha statue is 48 meters high (representing Amitabha's 48 wishes) and is the largest and tallest statue of the Ten Directions and the center of the Golden Dome of Emei. The ten heads of Puxian are divided into three layers, with different demeanors, representing the ten mentalities of the world. The first layer on the back of the elephant is the four-headed statue and two-faced body of the Bodhisattva; the second layer is the four-headed statue of Puxian Bodhisattva; The highest level is the head of the Bodhisattva before and after. The statue is a 484-square-meter Buddha nave, dedicated to a bronze statue of Amitabha Buddha, surrounded by white jade carved Buddha statues. Looking at it emitting golden light, awe arose spontaneously.
The Golden Dome Huazang Temple is built on the mountain, and there are three halls distributed on the central axis from low to high. The Maitreya Hall, the Daxiong Treasure Hall, the Puxian Hall (Golden Dome), and the entire Huazang Temple are also golden, emitting golden light under the sunlight, echoing the golden statues of the ten directions beside them.
I have climbed the Golden Peak almost ten times, this time it is the biggest one under the snow, even the Bodhisattva of the Ten Directions has been covered in silver, and everything he sees in front of him has been covered with snow, There is another unique scene, the beauty is indescribable.
In the Golden Peak, if you are lucky, you can see the four wonders of Mount Emei, sunrise, sea of clouds, Buddha's light, holy lamp, sunrise and sea of clouds are relatively easy to see, and it will be easier in winter. The Buddha's light really depends on luck, and the holy lamp is even more difficult, but there is no absolute in everything, believe in yourself, and all good wishes will come true.
Further away from the Golden Peak is the Thousand Buddha Peak and the Ten Thousand Buddha Peak, the Ten Thousand Buddha Peak is the highest peak of Mount Emei, 3099 meters above sea level, the cliff volleys, the flat fields protrude, standing majestically on the top of the "Great Guangming Mountain", there is a post-restored Ten Thousand Buddha Pavilion on the top of the Ten Thousand Buddhas, although it can be seen from a distance in the Golden Peak, but it is still far away, the road is not easy to walk, there will be people to challenge in summer, but in winter the road will generally be closed, and the road is slippery and dangerous.
[Leidongping Ski Resort + Starry Sky Camp]
After enjoying the snow at the Golden Peak, if you feel unhappy, you can go to the ski resort in Leidongping to experience the winter of Mount Emei in a more intimate way. Founded in 1998, Leidongping Ski Resort is the first ski resort in Sichuan and is now the preferred ski destination for tourists in the surrounding area in winter
.
The ski resort is built on the mountain, the equipment, functions and supporting facilities are very complete, very suitable for the whole family to ski, this year it has also upgraded the Children's Dream World Paradise, There are many projects suitable for children to play, and children can also play in the snow here and feel the fun of playing in the snow that they can't usually feel.
Different from other indoor ski trails, the ski resort of Mount Emei is alpine skiing embedded in the forest, and it is also very friendly to ordinary tourists, whether you can ski or not, you can find your own stage on this 300-meter slide, the risk factor is very low, whether it is rushing forward, or trembling, people turn over on their backs, it belongs to winter, belongs to the unique memory of Mount Emei.
Leidongping Ski Resort next to the starry sky camp, camping in the past two years can be said to be very popular, many friends like to find a place with beautiful scenery and cool climate in summer to camp, Escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, in fact, coming to Mount Emei Starry Sky Camp in winter to enjoy the snow, skiing, and starry sky is also another experience.
In the starry sky camp, independent yellow huts are hidden in the snow, like a fairy tale world that has been accidentally broken into.
Living in the starry sky camp, you can stagger the peak of the flow of people, choose a little early in the morning or a little in the late afternoon when there are no big waves of tourists, enjoy the ski resort next to you and all the beautiful scenery in front of you alone, wait for everyone to go down the mountain, enjoy the warm leisure time in the hut, everyone chat together, and watch the stars and enjoy the moon together in the dead of night, which is definitely a comfort and beautiful scenery that many camping bases do not have.
