Please arrange a trip to Mount Emei!

On December 7th, 1996, Mount Emei was listed as a world natural and cultural heritage by UNESCO, which shows that the culture and natural landscape of Mount Emei have special and worldwide value.

on August 2, p>3, my husband and I set off from Guiyang by train and went to Emei Mountain, which we have been longing for for for a long time. On the morning of August 3rd, I arrived in Chengdu. In the afternoon, I arrived at Baoguo Temple Tourist Center under Emei Mountain by bus, found a hotel to stay, and then visited the nearby scenery and temples.

This area belongs to the low mountain area of Emei Mountain Scenic Area, with an altitude of 45 meters, humid air, hot climate, the temperature of about 35 degrees, heavy fog, no sun overhead, and very lush plants. Most of the plants we can recognize are tall and sturdy, and the trees are undoubtedly very old, with lush foliage and dark colors like clouds. Lin Nakakoji is paved with non-slip bluestone slabs, and buses from Emei Mountain can reach Fuhu Temple all the way. The main temples in this area are Baoguo Temple, Fuhu Temple, Shanjue Temple and Luofeng Temple.

Baoguo Temple was built in the period of Shunzhi (after 1644) in Qing Dynasty, and it was not completed until 1928. Together with the * * * Five-fold Hall at the mountain gate, the buildings are all built on the mountain, layer by layer. The main hall is magnificent and spacious, with natural structure, exquisite and elegant accessories, against which Buddhist gardens set off. In the forty-second year of Kangxi (173), the Qing Emperor Xuanye gave the name "Baoguo Temple" to the temple. The temples in the temple are dedicated to tall statues of Maitreya, Buddha, seven buddha, Pu Xian, etc., and people burn incense and worship Buddha in an endless stream. There are many plaques in the temple, most of which express the thoughts of Buddhists. The moral principles of being strict with oneself in Buddhism are very enlightening, and the calligraphy is also very good. The temple has left the profound thoughts and artistic essence of predecessors everywhere. Opposite Baoguo Temple, there is a high-rise place called Fenghuangbao, where stands a gorgeous hexagonal pavilion with a large plaque of "Shengji Evening Bell" hanging on the forehead of the door. There is the largest bronze bell in Emei Mountain inside the pavilion. This clock was cast in the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, with a history of more than 4 years. The clock is about three meters high and weighs 25 thousand Jin. There are characters and patterns on the outside and inside of the clock. Among the cypress trees under the pavilion, more than 1 inscriptions in Wei and Jin Dynasties are particularly eye-catching.

Fuhu Temple, not far from Baoguo Temple, is said to have been built in the late Jin Dynasty. There are three Chinese characters "Bujinlin" hanging on the wooden Fang in front of the temple, which shows that the forest garden here is as beautiful as the "Bujinlin" mentioned in Buddhist scriptures. We feel that it is simply a kingdom of plants, with towering old trees and overwhelming green. Now all the people living in the temple are nuns (female monks), and the buddhas and bodhisattvas worshipped are similar to those in other places. There is a big Luohan Hall behind the temple, where the tall Maitreya and Guanyin are enshrined in the center, and there are 5 Luohan statues around it, each with its own name, different shapes and postures, all lifelike and of high artistic ornamental value. It is said that anyone can find a statue that is predestined friends with him here, and we will see people who worship Buddha in the mountains and ask the monks to crack it for them. Here, religious worship and tourism are mutually inclusive, tourism is rich and colorful because of religion, and religion is also publicized because of tourism. In such a place, people usually look at it with their eyes and feel it with their hearts, but never talk nonsense with their mouths.

on the morning of 4th, we took a bus to Wuxiangang at Baoguo Temple Tourist Center. It is planned to hike from Wuxiangang to Leidong Ping under Jinding, passing through Hongchunping, Xianfeng Temple and Xixiangchi Scenic Resort, with a total distance of 42. 5 kilometers, it is planned to take two days to walk. At 7: 3, we bought tickets from Wuxiangang to enter the mountain, and each person got 8 yuan. If we have an old-age card, a teacher's card or a student's card, we can get half price. We are both old people and teachers, of course, it is half price. After buying the ticket, the staff immediately took photos of us with the computer and printed them on the ticket face. Everyone who enters the mountain has information, which is good for management. If anything happens on the way, you can call for help with your mobile phone. The mobile communication signal in the mountain is not bad. We began to enter the mountains with backpacks full of necessities on our backs, each bearing more than ten kilograms. The mountain road is winding, all paved with stone slabs, surrounded by green, with good scenery and good mood, and we arrived at Qingyin Pavilion unconsciously. Sakyamuni Buddha is enshrined in the pavilion, and Manjusri and Bodhisattva Bodhisattva are on the left and right. Manjusri gives wisdom to others, Pu Xian gives wishes to all beings, and Sakyamuni is omnipotent. For those who don't want to climb mountains hard, it is very good to worship Buddha here. Black and white water meet under Qingyin Pavilion, and the water hits the big stone below, making a crisp and pleasant sound. Go ahead and come to the first sight. This is a unique spring gorge landscape in Emei Mountain Scenic Area. Below it is the flowing water of Heilongjiang, with cliffs obliquely inserted into the sky on both sides. A path in the middle is two or three meters wide, and a plank road with a length of more than 1 meters has been built at the dead end. Looking up at the top of your head, there is a ray of skylight, which is really "how can you know the width of the world if you don't get out of it?"

after a day, I walked into the ecological monkey area. This area is densely forested, and there are many kinds of wild animals, especially monkeys, all elves, who stop in the road to ask tourists for food. Today, there are many tourists and pilgrims, about 1 people in succession, but some local people come to Doby for monkeys. Going further inside, passers-by are becoming scarce, and sometimes you can't meet a person when you walk three or four miles, which is very different from Huangshan and Taishan. When there is no one, we will shout loudly at the distant mountains, and the echo will shake the valley. On the way, I met several foreign girls who hurried past us with towering backpacks and said hello, knowing that they were Norwegian. There are also young couples who come to climb mountains with middle school students or college students. However, when this section of the road is not a test, we walked 9 kilometers in more than two hours and arrived at Hongchunping at 9: 4. Hongchunping is an ancient temple, which was built in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, formerly known as Qianfo Temple. It is located among the peaks in Zhongshan District, surrounded by lush ancient trees and fresh air. In the morning of spring and summer, the mountains are filled with mist that is not easy to dissipate, so it has become one of the ten scenic spots of Emei Mountain. Walking into the temple, we went upstairs from the wooden ladder on the side of the Hall of Great Heroes and watched the Thousand Buddha Lamps.

Look, it's still early. It's not a problem to get to Xianfeng Temple today, so I took a rest and continued on my way. All the way downhill, uphill, downhill, and finally down to a relative valley bottom, a mountain spring jumped from a height and then disappeared in the distance along the valley. There are many spring waterfalls in Emei Mountain. There is a saying: The water is as high as the mountain. There is water at any height. A bridge was built above this spring, named Shouxing Bridge. I think the meaning of that name is probably: the person who can walk here and climb the mountain in front must be a long-lived person, which has increased a lot of courage for a while. There is a pair of couplets on the small pavilion on the bridge, which is very philosophical and intriguing: the benevolent Leshan wise man enjoys water, and he reads history when he is soft. After crossing the bridge, you will take the ninety-nine turn. The mountain peak wall is steep, the road turns left and right, and the trees around it cover the sky. As long as you turn a turn, the people behind you can't see the people in front. We stopped to see that the opposite peaks were all under our feet, only to see the clouds floating with the mountain wind, and the verdant peaks were hidden from time to time, just like Penglai Fairy Island, and the real valley bottom was unfathomable. We stop and go, stop and go, panting and sweating, and sometimes a porter comes forward and asks if he wants to take a slide, but we all refuse. Take a rest when you are tired, while enjoying the wild flowers and plants you have never seen before, listening to the tinkling and birdsong of the mountain spring, and of course, never forgetting to take pictures of the beautiful scenery along the way. Two young men with backpacks came up behind them. They probably admired us a little and wanted to praise us, so they asked us how old we were. According to the habits of foreigners, you should answer him it's a secret! However, China people are introverted, and his answers made him a little embarrassed. The young people were very boring and hurried to the front of us. After passing the tea shed, there was a vendor selling water and food in the shed. Five or six tourists stayed there for a short time, and we also wanted to have a rest here. As soon as I sat down, several little monkeys approached me tentatively. I opened my backpack and took out the food prepared for them in advance-peanuts. The monkeys boldly came over and scared me to throw the food out quickly for fear of being scratched by them. Everyone was happy to watch the monkey eat food. Suddenly, the vendor shouted loudly, and we were frightened again. Looking behind, a big female monkey was approaching my backpack, and I quickly moved the backpack to the front. It seems that monkeys are very clever. They know how to deal with people. We started on the road, and several monkeys squatted on the road more than ten meters ahead to see us off. Sometimes we slapped a pedestrian on the calf, but we ignored them and walked past them carefully. When we arrived at Xianfeng Temple, the road was gentle, and we finally arrived at Xianfeng Temple at two o'clock in the afternoon. We've gone 22 today. 5 kilometers, the altitude here is 1752 meters, which is more than 12 meters higher than Wuxiangang. The result is not bad, but I can't be too tired, so I decided to stay in Xianfeng Temple and continue climbing the mountain the next day.

Xianfeng Temple is a temple with a mixture of Buddhism and Taoism. Its front hall is dedicated to the God of Wealth, the middle hall is the Ursa Mahayana Hall, and the back hall is the relic hall. The stupa it worships is the only magic weapon of Mount Emei. There are five or six monks living in the temple, aged between 2 and 4; Two handymen, in charge of cooking and so on; Two waiters are in charge of accommodation and the like; There are also several security guards in police uniforms. We'll get a room in the temple service office, and the two of us will be in 12 yuan. It's no use bargaining. The waiter took us through the temple of wealth, went to the back and went upstairs to enter the wing of the Hall of Ursa Major. There are more than ten rooms on both sides of the tall Sakyamuni, including single rooms, double rooms and rooms for more than ten people. When we walked into our room, we saw that there was nothing in it except two beds, and the bedding was very wet and gave off a musty smell. The moisture in the mountains was too heavy.

put down our backpacks and washed our faces. We went downstairs and walked out of the hall. The incense in the big incense burner in front of the temple is booming. From time to time, people come to burn incense, bow down and kowtow in front of the tall god of wealth in the front hall, and pray for prosperity. There are fewer people entering the Hall of Great Heroes. And some tourists only take a short rest here, and then continue on their way. Not long after, a foreigner came, and he also opened a room. This is the first traveling companion who stayed in Xianfeng Temple today. We greeted him and knew that he was from Sri Lanka. He seems to be particularly interested in Buddhism, walking around the temples and constantly taking pictures. After dinner, it was still early. He found a seat in the snack bar opposite and sat down to write something. It is estimated that this is a travel enthusiast. When it was getting dark, a group of people came down from the mountain, farmers, men and women, some carrying a pot of vegetable oil weighing two or three pounds. They also stayed in the temple. When asked, they stayed in 1 yuan, and 5 yuan ate whatever he wanted. We are unbalanced. Why are we so unfair? One of them, a middle-aged woman, told me that they are laymen, with preferential treatment, and they don't have to buy tickets to enter the mountains. She looks very proud. The so-called lay people are people who believe in Buddhism at home. It is said that there are many such lay people in Sichuan. I told her that I should be a layman, too. She said no, I have to study. Then, another group of students, about ten people, came, and the temple was full of excitement.

it's getting dark, and the mountains are dark. The temple uses a diesel engine to generate electricity, and the faint light lights up the ancient temple in the dense forest. It was impossible to read and write, and there was no TV to watch, so we went to bed early. Although the lights in the Ursa Major Hall are dim, they don't go out all night, and Sakyamuni, who is almost as high as the top of the hall, sits there forever. For the first time in my life, I slept next to Buddha and Bodhisattva, separated by a partition, very close, very close. What was the feeling? I seem to have made a bhikshuni myself. Sleeping until midnight, my husband suddenly said that he was not feeling well, and his pulse was a little fast. I think he might have a fever. There is no hospital, no road, and when you go out at night, you can't find anyone to lift the pole. Even if you can find someone to lift it, it will take you five or six hours to get out of the mountain. It's really anxious. Fortunately, we brought our own medicine, drank a lot of water and went to the toilet several times before getting better. No wonder ordinary people dare not climb Mount Emei on foot, and this special landform of Mount Emei makes it far away from the world and its original natural resources are well preserved.

At 5: 3 in the morning on the 5th, the bell rang in the temple, and then the drum sounded. A young Buddhist monk sat in front of Sakyamuni and sang the Brahma with the rhythm of the drum. This is a ceremony to pay homage to the Buddha, with a solemn and quiet tone, and the life of all monks in the temple began. This is what people often say: morning bell and dusk drum. Tourists pilgrims quickly got up to wash their clothes, had breakfast in the fast hall, and started a new journey. Ordinary tourists like to ride up the mountain from the back mountain and then walk down the mountain through the front mountain, thinking that this is very labor-saving, but we are the opposite. Therefore, most of the people staying here are going down the mountain, and there are not many people with us, so we deliberately dawdled for a long time and started from Xianfeng Temple at 8 o'clock. All the way down the hill first and then up the hill, surrounded by endless forests, firs are tall and straight, rhododendrons are swaying under the wind, pines are surging, monkeys are jumping around the trees, sometimes they make strange calls, and all kinds of birds show off their euphemistic voices. Our footsteps were brisk, pointing and laughing all the way, and we came to two restaurants on Jiugangzi. This is the confluence of Qianshan Line A and Line B, so there are more tourists. A middle-aged monk wearing gray clothes and leggings bowed forward: Amitabha, how can I get to Wannian Temple? I thought it was fun, and I answered him, Amitabha, just go this way. He said thank you and quickly disappeared in front of my finger. Emei Mountain is one of the four Buddhist shrines in China, and it is the Dojo of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva. Monks from all over the country often come here to exchange and study. The man who just asked for directions is probably not a local monk. I rested for a while, walked on, walked a flat road and went uphill. There is a very steep slope here called Diamond Sky Slope. As the name implies, it is going to climb the ladder of diamond sky. However, with the experience of the first ninety-nine turns, my heart is very calm. Up to the middle of the slope, some tourists came down opposite, warning us that the road up was extremely steep, and we just laughed. A young couple came down from the mountain empty-handed, carefully and trudging. A worker walked briskly in front of them with a backpack on his back, and his little daughter was riding on his shoulder. We just shook our heads. It is false to say that you are not tired when you climb Mount Emei. The local people tell us that you suffer from tracheitis when you climb Mount Emei and arthritis when you go down Mount Emei. No matter whether you go up or down, there is no doubt that you are tired. However, the infinite scenery is on the dangerous peak, and the scenery is always in no one's place. It is worthwhile to repay you.

We landed in Xixiangchi Scenic Resort at 12: 2, and walked for 12 hours in more than four hours. 5 kilometers, the altitude here is 27, and it has entered the high mountain area, and the temperature has dropped a lot, which is not as sultry as the foot of the mountain. By the time we arrived, the laymen we had met in Xianfeng Temple had already got there before us. In addition, several Taoist priests wearing green hats in Tsing Yi were also resting there. Two of them, a man and a woman, were very young, and they became Taoist priests in Wudang. We asked them how they came to worship Buddha in the mountains, and their answer was that Buddhism and Taoism were originally a family. Two monks in this temple are playing chess leisurely on a half-moon stone platform, and many tourists are watching the battle around them. From time to time, someone came out of the hall with a bag on his back. I thought it was someone staying in Xixiangchi Scenic Resort who set off down the mountain. When we went in, it turned out that the only traffic artery had to pass through the temple. It can be said that it was and while one man guards it and ten thousand cannot force it.

Xixiangchi Scenic Resort is a key temple, and the buddhas and bodhisattvas enshrined in the temple are similar to those in other places. Its back is backed by mountains and dense forests, its front is open, firs are tall and straight, and the peaks below overlap, showing beautiful colors everywhere. A moonlit night
