Mount Emei - Qingyin Pavilion

Qingyin Pavilion is nestled in a valley, where a surging mountain stream cascades down from the canyon between towering cliffs, creating a breathtaking spectacle. It's also a popular destination for mountain hikers, with numerous hotels and farmhouses offering accommodations. Staying here allows you to explore the surrounding mountain scenery in your spare time. It's also close to the ecological monkey area, where you can see the playful and adorable monkeys. Furthermore, the nights here aren't as cold as in the high mountains, and the accommodations are much better, offering a much better value for money.

There are many tourists in Qingyin Pavilion, but few people continue to run in the mountains.

In Qingyin Pavilion, you can hear the sound of water. The mountain springs flow into the pools from the two bridges, and then flow clear and bright among the mountains.

"Leaving dirt" means washing away the worldly disturbances. The clear sound of the Twin Bridges can cleanse one's worries and the other's sorrows.

I had lunch at the vegetarian hall of Qingyin Pavilion. A bowl of vegetarian noodles cost 15 yuan. Because we arrived late, the dishes were all eaten up. I suggest that friends who plan to eat vegetarian food should go to the vegetarian halls of major temples at 11 o'clock.

Qingyin Pavilion, located at the foot of Niuxinling in Mount Emei, Sichuan, China, with an altitude of 710 meters, is also known as Woyun Temple. Although the pavilion is small, it is located in a dangerous area, overlooking the surrounding area, with an imposing aura. It is surrounded by mountains and water and has beautiful scenery. Its overall layout embodies the artistic conception of "natural creation and the unity of man and nature". It is a model of Buddhist temple and garden architecture in my country, and has "Double Bridge Qingyin", one of the ten scenic spots in Mount Emei.

Most temples have gates, walls, and multiple Buddhist halls, but the Qingyin Pavilion in Mount Emei has only one hall. However, it is surrounded by mountains and water, with beautiful scenery. The overall layout is high above, making it a model of Buddhist temple garden architecture. It is also a national key temple with a far-reaching reputation.

Qingyin Pavilion, located at the foot of Niuxin Ridge on Mount Emei, lies at an altitude of 710 meters. Originally named Niuxin Temple, it was built in 877 AD during the Tang Dynasty. During the reign of Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty, Zen Master Huitong of Jiangling renamed it Woyun Temple. In the second year of the Hongwu reign of the Ming Dynasty (1369 AD), Zen Master Guangji visited Mount Emei and renamed it "Qingyin Pavilion."

Who is listening carefully to the sound around them? It is the place where the Bodhisattva gives his lecture.

The scenery is beautiful. It is the confluence of the Heilongjiang River and the Bailongjiang River. It is also the place where Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing met and fought. After the confluence, it flows into Doulongba.

The quiet temple was originally a holy place for relaxation, but there are many farmhouse inns and B&B hotels nearby, which naturally attracts many uncles and aunts who solicit customers and hang around tourists.

It's just a temple, not much to see, but it can provide accommodation and vegetarian meals. It's worth considering if you want to hike.

It takes half an hour to walk from the entrance of Qingyin Pavilion Scenic Area to Qingyin Pavilion. The scenery along the way is also beautiful. There are dense woods on both sides of the long valley. The humid air is mixed with the fragrance of trees, and gurgling water flows at your feet. There are some distinctive farmhouses dotted on both sides from time to time.

The water in the Qingyin Pavilion area is very clear, like a touch of green jade.

It's still good, with quiet scenery. It's just that it's quite far to walk from Wuxiangang, because it's 1 kilometer from Qingyin Pavilion to Yixiantian and 3 kilometers to the monkey area, which means 6 kilometers round trip. So I gave up the monkey area. I didn't expect to see a group of monkeys on the way back to Wuxiangang. I was so lucky. These monkeys often come into contact with tourists and are not aggressive at all. They will follow you, stand on wooden stakes for you to take pictures, and even try to open a girl's backpack to find food.

I walked down from the Golden Summit of Mount Emei, an hour's walk to the Leidongping parking lot (you can also take a 3-minute cable car from the Golden Summit to the Jieyin Hall, then a 20-minute walk to the Leidongping parking lot). From there, I took a sightseeing bus to the Wuxiangang parking lot (40 yuan). A 5-minute walk brought me to the Qingyin Pavilion archway and into the Qingyin Pavilion scenic area. The Qingyin Pavilion is on the same road as the One-Line Sky and Monkey Area; just keep walking until you pass these attractions.

One of the main temples in Mount Emei, the incense is very good, many tourists transit here, or come to see, there is a small pavilion to rest, very close to the monkey area and the line of sky

There is a temple on the mountain, it is very popular and you can go for a visit!

The scenery of Qingyin Pinghu and Shuangqiao in Emei Mountain is actually very ordinary, perhaps because of its long history and allusions.

A must-see for monkeys, with many people burning incense. It's antique. I just looked outside.

I went to Mount Emei in early March. The air was fresh and the scenery was pleasant. Here is a guide on what to wear.

It is a completely different type of scenery from the top of the mountain. The mountains and rivers of Emei are displayed here to the fullest.

The steps down the mountain are quite steep, and the sound of people could be heard halfway up. We arrived at Qingyin Pavilion at 4:02 PM (a 52-minute hike). It was indeed packed with tourists, like a supermarket. This is a hub for the Emeishan hiking route, very close to the Wuxiangang parking lot (Route C), and the A and B routes also split here. Nearby attractions include Yitiantian (One Line Sky) and the monkey area, which is particularly popular with tourists. The monkeys on Mount Emei are particularly wild due to the habituation of tourists, and there are frequent reports of tourists being injured. I even consulted travel guides to ensure safe passage through the monkey area. Perhaps it's this mixture of love and fear, coupled with the monkeys' natural closeness to humans and their proximity to the parking lot, that contributes to the high number of visitors. Accommodation is also very affordable.

Qingyin Pavilion, with an altitude of 710 meters, is also known as Woyun Temple. It was named Niuxin Temple in the Tang Dynasty (the current Niuxin Temple is Hou Niuxin Temple). In the early Ming Dynasty, the monk Guangji changed its name to "Qingyin Pavilion". Qingyin Pavilion has only one hall, and there is "Jiewang Pavilion" in front of the pavilion. It has "Double Bridge Qingyin", one of the ten scenic spots of Mount Emei.

Qingyin Pavilion is a beautiful place in the Emeishan Scenic Area. It has beautiful natural scenery and many pavilions and towers, making it suitable for leisure and sightseeing.

This pavilion is not big, but it is very lively. It was deserted along the way, but here many people gathered, some to burn incense and pray for blessings.

The Qingyin Pavilion Scenic Area is one of Mount Emei's four major scenic areas, home to a temple called "Qingyin Pavilion." Located in the Zhongshan District, the Qingyin Pavilion offers pleasant accommodations, but the weather isn't particularly cool, given its elevation of only a few hundred meters. Most travelers who stay there are casual travelers who don't plan to hike much. Park your car at the Wuxiangang parking lot, the closest to the Qingyin Pavilion, and then take the walking path past Qingyin Lake to reach the pavilion. The hotel is a bit pricey, but that's understandable given the scenic area.

Although Qingyin Pavilion is located halfway up the mountain in Emei, it takes more than an hour to climb up from Wuxiangang. Qingyin Pavilion, also known as "Woyun Temple", is one of the eight major temples in Emei. People who go up the mountain to worship will pass by here. The terrain where the temple is located is dangerous. Due to the limitations of the terrain, Qingyin Pavilion only has one hall, but this is also a model of Chinese Buddhist architecture.

The essence of Mount Emei lies in the fact that there is no rain when hiking in the mountains, but the green air wets people's clothes.

The environment is really beyond imagination, very beautiful, suitable for self-cultivation

Qingyin Pavilion is small, but surprises can be found everywhere. Whether it is the vigorous, round, or flying calligraphy on the steps before entering the temple, or the lucky charms carefully tied and hung under the window beams, they all make people feel refreshed and warm.

The Qingyin Pavilion in the drizzle is a different scene, fresh, exuding the smell of trees and soil, clean, leisurely, and a paradise on earth.

Only by visiting here early in the morning or in the evening can you appreciate its true beauty.

Located in the core area of Mount Emei, it connects to Hongchunping and Xianfeng Temple on the left and Bailong Cave and Wannian Temple on the right. It is a must-see for pilgrims and sightseeing. It was named "Qingyin Pavilion" after the poem "Why silk and bamboo, mountains and rivers have clear sounds" by Zuo Si, a poet in the Jin Dynasty. Scenic spots include the Qingyin of the Twin Bridges and the Niuxin Stone.

Located halfway up Mount Emei, it is a completely uninteresting attraction and I don’t even want to go in.

It was named Niuxin Temple in the Tang Dynasty (the current Niuxin Temple is Hou Niuxin Temple). In the early Ming Dynasty, the monk Guangji changed its name to "Qingyin Pavilion"; Qingyin Pavilion has only one hall, and there is a "Jiewang Pavilion" in front of the pavilion; although Qingyin Pavilion is small, it has a dangerous terrain, is high above, and is imposing. It is surrounded by mountains and water and has beautiful scenery. Its overall layout embodies the artistic conception of "natural creation, harmony between man and nature". It is a model of Buddhist temple and garden architecture in my country, and has "Double Bridge Qingyin", one of the ten scenic spots of Mount Emei.

Fortunately, if you go to Mount Emei, you can stop by and see it.

Walking past Qingyin Pinghu, not far away is Qingyin Pavilion, home to the famous Qingyin Twin Bridges. Mount Emei is known for its unparalleled beauty, and the beauty lies in the area around Qingyin Pavilion. My phone simply can't capture its charm. The lotus flowers picked by mountain residents... they look like chili peppers to me. Embarrassing... "Why bother with silk and bamboo? Mountains and rivers possess pure sounds." Birds chirp in mountain streams, clear springs gurgle. These are the most beautiful sounds nature has bestowed upon us. In the mountains, Qingyin Pavilion is free from noise and worldliness. Here, offer sincere incense and prayer.

Qingyin Pavilion is very popular because many tour groups will take tourists along this route. Why? Because there are more scenic spots concentrated along this line, such as the Monkey Area, Yitiantian, Niuxinting, etc.

When I came here at night, I couldn't see anything clearly. When I left early in the day, I thought the scenery was really good.

As soon as I got there, I could smell a strong religious atmosphere. Although I had never been inside, I could still feel the strong incense.

It can be seen that Qingyin Pavilion is a place with beautiful mountains and clear water. It will be very cool if you come here in summer. You can also play in the water next to it. It is also a place with many tourists.

Qingyin Pavilion is located at the confluence of the Black and White Rivers at the foot of Niuxinling in Mount Emei. It was named Niuxin Temple in the Tang Dynasty. During the reign of Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty, Zen Master Huitong of Jiangling changed it to Woyun Temple. During the Ming Dynasty, Zen Master Guangji took the word "Qingyin" from the poem "Inviting Recluses" by the Jin Dynasty poet Zuo Si, which says "Why bother with silk and bamboo, when mountains and rivers have clear sounds", and changed the name of the temple to "Qingyin Pavilion".

Qingyin Pavilion is a relatively large temple and the fork in the road between two hiking routes.

I personally like the scenery here at Qingyin Pavilion, with mountains, water and suspension bridges.

The Qingyin Pavilion is clear, elegant and quiet, it is really beautiful.

Historically, the pavilion has caught fire three times and is now rebuilt after 1917. Due to the limitations of the terrain, Qingyin Pavilion has only one hall, which enshrines the Three Holy Ones of Huayan: Sakyamuni Buddha in the middle, Manjushri Bodhisattva on the left, and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva on the right.

The so-called "clear sound" comes from a line by a Jin Dynasty poet: "Why bother with silk and bamboo, when mountains and rivers have clear sounds." It describes the beautiful sound and scenery of the Black Dragon Creek and the White Dragon Creek of Mount Emei converging at the Qingyin Pavilion, where the sound of water gurgles all year round.

Qingyin Pavilion was first built in the Northern Song Dynasty and has a history of more than 1,000 years. The pavilion has been burned down three times and was rebuilt after 1917.

This place is relatively quiet and very relaxing.

Qingyin Pavilion was called Niuxin Temple in the Tang Dynasty. During the reign of Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty, Zen Master Huitong of Jiangling changed it to Woyun Temple. During the Ming Dynasty, Zen Master Guangji took the word "Qingyin" from the poem "Inviting Recluses" by the Jin Dynasty poet Zuo Si, which says "Why bother with silk and bamboo, when mountains and rivers have clear sounds", and changed the name of the temple to "Qingyin Pavilion".

I finally understand why Qingyin Pavilion is called that. I sat here for a long time, listening to the sound of water. It was so relaxing. Suddenly, it dawned on me: this is what listening to pure sound is all about. It's so beautiful and purifies the soul.

I spent my first night in Emei Mountain at the Qingyin Pavilion residence. The owner was quite nice. The place I stayed at was called something like "Mountain Villa." I won't advertise it. From the base of the mountain to Qingyin Pavilion, we had a car and accommodations included. It cost 160 per night. Everyone should choose a place that suits their budget. The residence is quite poor. There are plenty of other places to stay.

In front of the pavilion stands the "Jiewang Pavilion." The "Emei Monastery Record" states: "There used to be a Jiewang Pavilion under the pavilion. The "king" referred to was the first-class imperial guard, Haiqing Wuge." This indicates that when Prince Haiqing Wuge, under the order of Emperor Kangxi, made a pilgrimage to Mount Emei, the monks, to welcome him, "demolished the old pavilion and rebuilt a new one, naming it 'Jiewang Pavilion.'" High above, an exquisitely designed pavilion commands the view. In the center, the red-eaved building houses the Jieyu and Central Pavilions. On either side of the pavilions, a stone bridge spans the black and white waters, resembling wings, hence the name Shuangfei Bridge.

In the foreground, the Black and White Rivers merge beneath Niuxin Pavilion. The Black River on the right originates from the Black Dragon Pool beneath Jiulao Cave and flows around Hongchunping. Its water is dark blue and is also known as the Black Dragon River. The White River on the left originates from the Sancha River beneath Gongbei Mountain and flows around Wannian Temple. Its water is whitish and is also known as the White Dragon River.

The confluence of the two rivers hits a huge rock in the shape of an ox's heart in the Bitan Lake. Despite the surging black and white waters, it remains motionless, forming a unique environment of temples, mountains, waters and gardens.

Liu Guangdi, one of the "Six Gentlemen of the Wuxu Reform", also cleverly summarized the two bridges and one stone as: "Two bridges, two rainbow shadows, and one ox heart for eternity."

This picturesque "Double Bridge Clear Sound" is one of the "Ten Scenic Spots of Mount Emei"; all year round, day and night, the sound of water echoes everywhere. This sound of water is simple and clear, and with the two bridges, it is known as "Double Bridge Clear Sound" and has become one of the ten scenic spots of Mount Emei.

Qingyin Pavilion is located in the core area of Mount Emei Scenic Area. It connects to Hongchunping and Xianfeng Temple on the left, and Bailong Cave and Wannian Temple on the right. It is a must-see place for pilgrimage and sightseeing.

It looks like a very ordinary temple, nothing special. The only difference is probably that there are more people!

The air is very good and the popularity is high. There are mountains, water and stories along the way.

I went there early in the morning, there were not many people, it felt great

Zhongshan District is a must-visit place to see the monkeys, it's great.

The sound of running water here is very loud and can be heard clearly in the temple. The water is very beautiful.

The scenery is beautiful and the air is fresh. The only drawback is that there are too many people. Maybe it's because it's close to the entrance. It's good to go there early in the morning when there are fewer people.

Qingyin Pavilion is located at a relatively high altitude and you have to climb up, but the building is still very unique.

It is a must-see attraction when hiking up the mountain. You must pass through here to reach Yixiantian and Wannian Temple.

The scenery is very comfortable, especially when you hear the sound of water, it really feels like you are in a fairyland.

Good scenery and wireless network, Xiao Jiuzhaigou, small parking facilities, many scams around

Qingyin Pavilion is the first popular scenic spot on the hike. It is said that the monkey area is close to here, but in fact the monkeys are still far away. Qingyin Pavilion itself is not big. You can burn incense. There are porters and some snacks around it.

I have been to Mount Emei many times. The Qingyin Pavilion will be the most beautiful next month.

The main hall of Qingyin Pavilion is a steep stone staircase. Don't be afraid of getting tired and go up to worship. The master will ring the bell to bless your prayers.

It looks ordinary, nothing special. I was just passing by.

The foot of the mountain is a good scenic spot with a deep impression.

It's really beautiful... Especially the flowing water... Many people stopped there to take pictures... If it were summer, I would really want to drink a sip of water...

I feel that this place is average, no different from Qingcheng Mountain. The scenery is still better on the mountain.

The beauty of Mount Emei cannot be surpassed by that of Qingyin Pavilion. It is certainly beautiful, but there are too many people to savor the mystery of the beauty.

The people I met were very nice, the scenery was beautiful, and it was not a very tiring trip, suitable for the elderly. However, the monkeys in the monkey area were really unpleasant and very dangerous.

I stayed in a villa near Qingyin Pavilion for two nights, and fell asleep to the sound of water every day.

The temple closes at night, so if you're staying at the temple, make sure to check in before dark; you won't be able to enter if you're late. The next day, we hiked down from the Golden Summit and reached the Qingyin Pavilion at 7:30. It was already dark, and we, exhausted, rested in the pavilion. From there, we could see the Buddha statues within, shimmering golden in the darkness, a majestic sight. At that moment, the temple bells rang, their melodious tones filling the valley with a stillness. It was a different kind of experience, truly beautiful.

It looks like a nice attic with many Buddha statues inside. I even encountered a group of monkeys there.

Qingyin Pavilion, with its left access to Hongchunping and Xianfeng Temple, and its right access to Bailong Cave and Wannian Temple, lies at the heart of Mount Emei's ascent and descent. Historically, it was a must-see for pilgrims and sightseeing. The location offers a commanding view from its perilous position, imposing awe-inspiring scenery. Surrounded by mountains and water, the Black River on the right originates from the Black Dragon Pool beneath Jiulao Cave and flows around Hongchunping for 15 kilometers. Its waters are a vibrant shade of black, earning it the nickname "Heilongjiang River." The White River on the left originates from the Sancha River beneath Gongbei Mountain and flows around Wannian Temple for 15 kilometers. Its waters are a vibrant white, earning it the nickname "Bailongjiang River." The two rivers converge at the Bitan Lake, above which stands the Niuxin Pavilion.

Shuangqiao Qingyin, the scenery is very beautiful, you can consider staying here! ~

Qingyin Pavilion, also known as Woyun Temple, is named after the Jin Dynasty poet Zuo Si's line: "Why bother with silk and bamboo? Mountains and rivers possess pure sounds." It is located at the confluence of the Black and White Rivers at the foot of Niuxinling on Mount Emei, at an altitude of 710 meters. Built by Zen Master Huitong during the reign of Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty, it houses statues of Sakyamuni, Manjusri, and Samantabhadra.

A few meters away from Qingyin Pavilion

There are places to play in the water

Starting from Qingyin Pavilion in the early morning, the clear flowing water and the quiet sound of flowing water are very beautiful.

Above Qingyin Pavilion is the ecological monkey area. I heard that the monkeys are very ferocious, so the two of us women didn’t dare to go there. So after a brief look at Qingyin Pavilion, we continued to Wannian Temple.
