Emei Snow Bud Base

" I can't hold a bowl and send it to tea lovers. In this cool winter, you should always find a quiet place to drink a cup of hot tea, so that the worries of the whole year will dissipate in the aroma of tea.

Emei Xueya Organic Tea Production Base is a place of yearning for all tea lovers! Every year before the Qingming Festival, the spring snow of Mount Emei has not yet melted, and the monks in the mountains have begun to pick new tea on the snow, in order to taste the freshest spring tea at the beginning of the year, so that picking tea in the snow has become a wonder of Mount Emei, and the snow buds of Emei are named after it.

Emei Snow Bud is also known as one of the four famous teas in Sichuan, with a fragrant aroma, mellow taste and refreshing color. When you come to the Emei Mountain base, you must taste the fresh tea here, sit there quietly, and watch the professionals carefully operate each process: hot cups, tea placement, brewing, and pouring tea, as if the simple tea aroma has been given the aging of time, telling the past from ancient times to the present.

Friends who love to drink tea here buy authentic good tea and take it back to taste or give it to family and friends.

Wannian Temple

Wannian Temple is the first of the eight temples in Mount Emei, and it is also the oldest temple in the history of Mount Emei, which can be traced back to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, this temple has also experienced glory and depression with the change of history, but no matter what time and anyone steps into the temple, you can feel its quiet and magnanimous heaviness.

Li Bai once wrote here: "The guest heart washes the flowing water, and the aftermath enters the frost bell." It reflects the deep impression that this temple cleanses the soul and soothes people's hearts.

The stairs in front of the temple also seem to test the patience of those who come to pay their respects, and the stairs are long and require physical strength. The red walls and green tiles look more solemn and rustic against the background of tall trees, which can't help but be daunting. Wannian Temple has a strong Buddhist cultural heritage, it is said that there were seven temples here, and later only one beamless brick hall of the Ming Dynasty remained, the upper part of the beamless hall is a semicircular hollow dome roof, and the lower part is a square base, which means "the sky is round and the place is round". This special building, made entirely of brick, can be called a miracle in the history of ancient architecture. There is a famous "Wishing Building" behind the Wuliang Hall, which contains the three treasures of Wannian Temple: Buddha's tooth, Bayeux Sutra, and imperial seal.

People who believe in universal virtue light incense, kneel and pray in front of the temple, praying for blessings for their relatives and friends, and may all their wishes come true. This holy place has survived many earthquakes and is still unharmed, like an old man full of vicissitudes, everyone can come here to seek the pure land of their hearts.

Qingyin Pavilion

Qingyin Pavilion was formerly known as Niuxin Temple, which was built by monks in the Northern Song Dynasty. During the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, Guangji Zen Master Zen Yin, who had a close relationship with Zhu Yuanzhang, was involved in this, according to the natural style surrounded by mountains and rivers. After that, in order to harmoniously integrate with the pavilions and pavilions in the temple, the word "Qingyin" in the Jin people's "Zhaoyin Poem" was taken and the temple name was changed: Qingyin Pavilion. The terrain here is dangerous, condescending, and imposing. There is really an artistic conception of "natural creation, the unity of nature and man", which is a model of Buddhist temple garden architecture in our country.Ecological Monkey Area Friends who like to get close to small animals should not miss the Ecological Monkey Area, most of the monkeys here have been spoiled by tourists, so they are not afraid of tourists, but for the sake of safety, they must keep a good distance from the monkeys, and tighten their backpacks to avoid being snatched by the monkeys as food. The monkeys here are more wild, so it is uncertain when they will appear, occasionally lucky travelers can see monkeys standing quietly on the stakes, and the monkeys are quietly picking up on the stone pillars. Keep a good distance from them and you won't be robbed. The monkeys who stay there quietly are not as scary as everyone says, and their mischievous and cute nature is actually the best proof that the people living here live in harmony with nature.
