Both known as the "First Mountain," what sets Mount Emei and Qianling Mountain apart?

Why are the monkeys on Mount Emei avoided, while those on Qianling Mountain are adored by tourists? The appeal of Qianling Park isn't just the adorable antics of the monkeys, but also a shift in lifestyle preferences. City walks and hiking offer both physical fitness and a cool escape on Qianling Mountain. You can also enjoy free wildlife viewing, with even a chance to spot pandas! During your climb, you'll encounter a stone inscription proclaiming "First Mountain." Mount Emei bears a similar inscription. Qianling Mountain's title refers to its status as the highest peak in southern Guizhou, a designation closely linked to the Hongfu Temple within the mountain. Mount Emei's "First Mountain" title stems from Buddhist tradition. It's said that after visiting Mount Emei, the Indian monk Baoshang exclaimed, "Higher than the Five Sacred Mountains, the most beautiful in the Nine Provinces, truly the first mountain of China!" This accolade cemented Mount Emei's reputation as the "First Mountain." However, the title "First Mountain" isn't about competition, but rather a reflection of the combined natural beauty, historical significance, and tourism appeal of each mountain.
