The former residence of the famous Tang Dynasty poet Du Fu when he lived in Chengdu. Du Fu lived here for nearly four years and wrote hundreds of poems, so it is regarded as a "holy place" in the history of Chinese literature, and today's Du Fu thatched cottage has been restored many times in the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties.
The former residence of the great poet in the thatched hut back then, the thatched cottage environment is quiet, there are several open-air tea gardens, small bridges and flowing water, plum garden bamboo forests, scattered, It constitutes a quiet and elegant picture.
The "Ten Thousand Buddha Tower" in Du Fu's thatched cottage is supported by 24 pillars, and the four-story tower stands in the nanmu forest to the east of the thatched cottage, which was rebuilt on the original site in 2005. It has restored the style of Chengdu, a famous historical and cultural city, with "Chongli Pavilion in the east and Ten Thousand Buddha Towers in the west".
Du Fu's "Quatrain" shows the beauty of the thatched cottage: "Two yellow peng singing green willows, a line of egrets in the sky. The window is filled with snow from the western mountains, and the boat from Dongwu is docked thousands of miles away."
Climb Mount Emei and meet the snow on the top of the mountain, an unexpected surprise!
Thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow, the scenery is unique here!
Mount Emei is one of the four famous mountains of Chinese Buddhism, and it is also the dojo of Puxian Bodhisattva, and there are many monasteries in the mountain, which makes it full of magical atmosphere. The scenery in the mountains is also very beautiful, and each season has its own characteristics. In early spring in March, I met Ruixue on Mount Emei, and the auspicious star shone high.
Although it was snowing lightly on the day of going up the mountain, the fog was also very large, and the visibility was about 100 meters, when you stepped on the steps to walk towards the Golden Dome Buddha, You will feel the big Buddha slowly emerging from the fog and walking towards you, the shock is indescribable!
The Golden Dome Golden Hall is a copper hall created by Zen Master Miaofeng during the Ming Wanli period, and the Wanli Emperor Zhu Xugou is inscribed "Yongming Huazang Temple", and the name of the golden dome comes from the "Golden Hall" The Emei Golden Dome is the place with the highest concentration of temples and attractions in Mount Emei, and has been listed as a national key temple of Buddhism in the Han region.
Golden Peak of Mount Emei, elevation data: 3079.3 meters. On windy and snowy days, you can only rely on hiking sticks and crampons to carefully descend the mountain.
As a famous Buddhist mountain, Mount Emei is far more than Buddhism. Mountains can be divided into low mountains, middle mountains, and high mountains, with different scenery. Tourists can choose to hike or take a bus and ropeway up the mountain, and we chose the ropeway due to time constraints.
Wannian Temple is an ancient temple, with a long history, compared with the Golden Peak and other attractions, Wannian Temple is not many tourists, there is a Wannian parking lot nearby and Wannian Temple has a ropeway connection, so many tourists who come to Mount Emei to travel take Wannian Temple as one of the starting points for official mountain climbing from the bottom up, and some tourists use this as the end of the mountain tour.
Most of the buildings of today's Wannian Temple were rebuilt in 1953. Founded in the 28th year of the Ming Dynasty, the Wuliang Hall was given by Emperor Shenzong to the "Shengshou Wannian Temple", which has been called to this day, and there are 24 Buddha niches in the lower part of the inner wall of the hall, and each Buddha niche has an iron Buddha statue. There is also a bronze statue of Puxian in the beamless brick hall, which is shaped like Puxian Bodhisattva sitting on a golden lotus throne on the back of a six-tusked white elephant.
White Dragon Cave, also known as White Dragon Temple, was founded by Zen Master Bechuan during the Ming Jiajing period, rebuilt in the early Qing Dynasty, and the Qing Kangxi Emperor once gave scriptures and characters to the temple. There are two halls in front and behind, the front is the three holy halls, which are dedicated to Amitabha Buddha, Dashi Zhi Bodhisattva, and Guanyin Bodhisattva in the west; Behind is the Hall of Great Nobility, which houses the three saints of Shakyamuni, Manjushri Bodhisattva, and Puxian Bodhisattva.
On the hillside of the Gongdelin Forest, there was originally a deep hole, which is said to be the place where the White Lady (White Snake) practiced Taoism, and later due to landslides, the cave was sealed. Only some reverie was left for people.
Qingyin Pavilion is an important temple in Mount Emei, built by Zen Master Huitong during the reign of Emperor Xizong of Tang, and the temple enshrines Shakyamuni, Manjushri Bodhisattva, Puxian Bodhisattva, etc. Although Qingyin Pavilion is small, the terrain is dangerous, condescending, surrounded by gurgling water, surrounded by mountains and water, pavilions and pavilions,
One of the ten views of Mount Emei, the "Double Bridge Qingyin", the clear stream crosses two small bridges, and the black and white streams under the bridge impact the boulders shaped like cow hearts in Bitan, splashing and making a sound like the sound of a piano, and there is a cow heart pavilion built on the stream. Its overall layout reflects the artistic conception of "natural creation, the unity of nature and man", and has become a model of Buddhist temple garden architecture.
Surrounded by mountains and rivers, the scenery is very beautiful. There are farmhouses nearby that can provide room and board.
When I left Mount Emei, I finally saw the playful and cute monkey, perfect!

Although I have seen the Leshan Giant Buddha many times, when I arrived at the scene, I was still deeply shocked by the huge body of the Giant Buddha!
In the first year of the Kaiyuan era of the Tang Dynasty, Monk Haitong felt that the three rivers were confluent here, the water was turbulent, and there were often floods and shipwrecks, so he vowed to build a Maitreya Buddha statue to bless all living beings. Monk Haitong presided over the construction of this cave for 8 years, and later generations erected a statue here to commemorate him.
