- 【Mount Emei】Also written as "峨嵋山," its main peaks are Mount Da'e, Mount Er'e, Mount San'e, and Mount Si'e. Among them, Mount Da'e is the Emei Mountain Scenic Area. Due to the Himalayan movement, the main body of Mount Emei was strongly uplifted along the fault line, forming the current Mount Emei. Affected by the monsoon circulation, areas above 2,000 meters of Mount Emei are covered by ice and snow for about half a year, with no distinction between the four seasons, only winter and spring. Mount Emei has a profound cultural heritage. Buddhism, Taoism, martial arts, and camellia culture have flourished on Mount Emei, and many historical figures have left poems here. In 1996, most of the cultural relics of Mount Emei were included in the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage List.
- 【Emei Mountain Golden Summit】Located on Mount Emei, Leshan City, Sichuan Province, it is 3079.3 meters above sea level as of April 2007 and is the most concentrated area of temples and attractions on Mount Emei. In the scenic area, you can enjoy the sea of clouds and sunrise, and also worship the world's tallest golden Buddha, the Samantabhadra statue of the Four Sides and Ten Directions. Standing on the mountain and looking far away, you can sometimes see the Chengdu Plain and Mount Gongga. The scenic area includes attractions such as Huazang Temple and the Samantabhadra statue of the Ten Directions.
- 【Wan年 Temple】Located at an altitude of 1020 meters, the temple houses precious cultural relics such as Buddha's teeth, palm-leaf scriptures, and sariras. In the Han Dynasty, this was the place where the herbalist Pu Gong practiced in a thatched hut. During the Long'an period of the Eastern Jin Dynasty (397-401), the Puxian Temple was built here, and it was renamed Baishui Temple in the third year of the Tang Dynasty (876). In the Northern Song Dynasty, it was renamed Baishui Puxian Temple. During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Zhu Yijun of the Ming Dynasty ordered the construction of a brick hall without beams and bestowed the plaque "Sacred Longevity Wan年 Temple," and the name has been used to this day. Wan年 Temple was originally a grand scale, with 13 halls. Due to many fires, few ancient buildings survived except for the brick hall without beams. The existing mountain gate, Maitreya Hall, Prajna Hall, Pilu Hall, Wei'e Hall, and Daxiong Hall were expanded and renovated in modern times, covering a total area of 20,000 square meters and a total construction area of about 10,000 square meters. Wan年 Temple is one of the oldest ancient temples in Mount Emei. Li Bai climbed Mount Emei and lived in this temple, and the monk Guang Jun played the qin for Li Bai.
