E’Mei Mountain

Noted by the UN as one of the greatest legacies of ancient culture and natural landscape, Emei Mountain is situated 160 kilometers away from the southwest Chengdu. The mountain extends more than 200 kilometers and the epic reaches 3099 metres above the sea level. For tourists they can reach 3077m above the sea level. It was said that there is and old man called Old Pu in the 6th Wing Ping year of the King Ming in East Han Dynasty. One day, he saw a magic deer so he followed it to the Golden Top. The deer disappeared suddenly. Old Pu asked BaoZhang, a monk, all about it. The monk told him that Puxian Buddha has changed into a deer. Since then, Old Pu beacame a monk and worshipped Pusa. In Emei Mountain its features are craggy, the cliffs are layered and the trees are a lush green-that is why there is a Chinese saying that “Emei is the most beautiful place in the world”.
