Mount Emei actually includes four mountains: Da'e, Er'e, San'e, and Si'e; but when people often refer to Mount Emei, they mainly refer to Mount Emei. The mountain extends from north to south, stretching for 23 kilometers, covering an area of about 115 square kilometers. The highest peak, Wanfoding, is 3,099 meters above sea level, while the plain area below the mountain is only more than 400 meters above sea level. The relative height difference is more than 2,600 meters, far exceeding many famous domestic tourist mountains such as the long-renowned Five Sacred Mountains and Huangshan Mountain.
Mount Emei is not only rich in natural heritage, but also known as the "Kingdom of Plants", "Animal Paradise" and "Museum of Geology". It is also praised as "Emei is the most beautiful place in the world". It has profound cultural heritage and is one of the four famous Buddhist mountains in China. It is famous for enshrining Samantabhadra Bodhisattva. At present, with Buddhist culture as its core, there are about 300 monks and nuns in the mountain, and nearly 30 large and small temples. The famous temples include Baoguo Temple, Fuhu Temple, Wannian Temple, Qingyin Pavilion, Huazang Temple, etc.
It is precisely this kind of mystery, richness and depth that makes Mount Emei "higher than the Five Mountains and more beautiful than any other nine states". This is why the eternal poem "Emei is the leader of the mountain; Samantabhadra is the eldest son of the Buddha", which is leisurely and fascinating.
