Travel Notes on Mount Emei: Exploring the Mysterious Charm of the Fairy Mountain

Mount Emei, this spiritual and beautiful mountain that stands in the land of Shu, carries thousands of years of legend and endless charm, like the same long scroll of mountains and rivers that slowly unfolds, attracting countless people to explore its mysteries. With the longing for this holy land, I embarked on this surprise and emotional trip to Emei. When I first arrived in Emei, the mountains were beautiful When we arrived at the foot of Mount Emei, the morning light was dim, and the golden glory sprinkled among the mountains, covering Mount Emei with a mysterious saree. Looking up, the rolling mountains are like the ridges of the earth, towering and magnificent. The mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist, like the dancing ribbons of fairies, and the looming peaks add a bit of ethereal beauty. The vegetation grew thicker along the winding mountain road. Tall trees block out the sky, and sunlight shines through the seams of the branches and leaves, forming patches of light, like a fantastic forest secret. All kinds of unknown wild flowers dot it, red like fire, pink like clouds, white like snow, gently swaying in the breeze, emitting bursts of fragrance, intoxicating. Clear sound fairyland, water rhythm melodious Not long after hiking, we came to Qingyin Pavilion. This place is known as "the first scenic spot of Mount Emei". You can hear the sound of gurgling water before you even reach the front of the pavilion. Walking into the Qingyin Pavilion, but seeing two streams rushing from the left and right sides, meeting under the Cow Heart Pavilion, hitting a huge stone, splashing countless crystal water splashes, making a crisp and pleasant sound, like a wonderful music played by nature. Standing on the double flyover, overlooking the stream beneath you, the fish swam merrily in the crystal clear water. It is surrounded by mountains, shaded by green trees, and dotted with pavilions and pavilions, like a beautiful ink painting. Close your eyes, listen to the sound of running water and birdsong, feel the breeze blowing on your face, as if all your worries disappear at this moment, and your mind has received unprecedented tranquility and baptism. Climb the golden top, the wonder of the sea of ​​clouds After a hard climb, we finally reached the main peak of Mount Emei - Golden Peak. Standing on the golden top, a kind of heroic feeling of "will be the top of the mountain, see all the mountains at a glance" spontaneously arise. There is a vast sea of ​​clouds in front of you, as if you are in a fairyland. The white clouds roll and surge underfoot, sometimes like a turbulent sea, sometimes like a docile flock, sometimes like a rolling snow-capped mountain, unpredictable and breathtaking. Surrounded by the sea of ​​clouds, the golden statue of the Bodhisattva of the Ten Directions shines brightly. The magnificent icon is 48 meters tall, made of copper casting and gold-plated craftsmanship, and shines a sacred and solemn glow in the sunlight. The holy image is beautifully shaped, with a kind face, holding Ruyi in his hand, sitting upright on a six-toothed white elephant, as if overlooking the world and praying for blessings for all living beings. Wandering around the icon, your heart is filled with awe and piety, as if you can feel the mercy and wisdom of the Bodhisattva. As time went by, the sun gradually set to the west, and the golden sunshine shone on the sea of ​​​​clouds, which was instantly dyed orange-red, like a burning flame, breathtakingly beautiful. The mountains in the distance were also covered with a golden coat, which complemented the sea of ​​clouds and formed a beautiful picture. I stood there quietly, immersed in this picturesque beauty, unwilling to leave. Emei at night, quiet and Zen When night falls, Mount Emei is enveloped in tranquility. I stayed in a temple in the mountains and felt the tranquility and Zen of the ancient temple. The temple's architecture is simple and elegant, with red walls and green tiles, which makes it look particularly solemn in the night. After dinner, stroll through the courtyard of the temple, the moonlight shining like water on the ground and the shadows of the trees. The melodious bells in the distance echoed in the night sky, calming people's minds. Walking into the Buddhist hall, the Buddha lamps are flashing, cigarettes are curling up, and the monks are reciting sutras devoutly. I sat quietly, listening to the recitation of scriptures, feeling the vastness and depth of the Dharma, and an unprecedented peace and tranquility surged deep within me. Lying in bed, the chirping of insects outside the window is like a lullaby played by nature. In this tranquil atmosphere, I gradually entered the dreamland, where the picturesque beauty and ethereal Zen of Mount Emei are still there. Farewell to Emei, keep your heart attached Early the next morning, wake up to the sound of birdsong, pull back the curtains, and the sunlight shines through the windows on the bed, warm and soft. After breakfast, I started to pack my bags and prepare to say goodbye to this beautiful fairy mountain. Walking down the mountain along the road we came from, my heart was filled with nostalgia and reluctance. Looking back, Mount Emei still stands there quietly, like a kind mother watching the wanderer leave. Although this trip to Emei is coming to an end, the beauty, Zen and tranquility of Mount Emei have remained in my heart forever. Mount Emei, it is not only a famous mountain of nature, but also a sanctuary of the soul. Here, I experienced the miraculous craftsmanship of nature, felt the breadth and depth of Buddhist culture, and found inner tranquility and peace. It is like a book that can never be finished. Every time you open it, you will have new discoveries and insights. I believe that one day in the future, I will definitely set foot on this magical land again and renew my indissoluble bond with Mount Emei. Mount Emei
