Emei Mountain lies seven kilometers southwest of Emeishan city and represents one of the four mountain ranges in China that Buddhists consider sacred. It was included in the UNESCO World Heritage list in 1996. The mountain stretches more than 200 kilometers from north to south. Its main peak, Wanfo Crest, is 3,099 meters above sea level.

Since ancient times Emei Mountain has been described as "Beauty under Heaven". Temples were built as early as the Eastern Han Dynasty (25-220) and Buddhism was introduced to the mountain during the Jin Dynasty (1115-1234). In the Ming and Qing dynasties (1368-1644) there were more than 150 temples.

A legend claims that the mountain is where Samantabhadra gave lectures on Buddhism, and most temples house a statue of Samantabhadra. The main scenic spots on the mountain include the Baoguo Temple, Wannian Temple, Fohu temple, Qingyin Pavilion, Heilongjiang Tunnel, Hongchun Platform, Xianfeng Temple (Jiulao Cave) and Xixiang Pond.

Rare rimes turn Gobi desert into fairyland

Published on Jan 11, 2017
Rare rimes and snowflakes have made a Gobi desert resort in northwest China's Gansu Province a fairyland.

The Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Spring resort in Dunhuang City saw this year's first snowfall on Monday. Then rimes appeared on early Wednesday, to the great delight of local residents and tourists alike.

"It seldom snows in Dunhuang, so this kind of rimes are even harder to come by. I went out this morning to take photos. It's so beautiful," said a local resident.

Known to the world as "the first spring in desert", the Crescent Spring is situated at the foot of Mingsha Mountain and is surrounded by sand dunes. Seen from afar, the Crescent Spring resembles a crescent moon, hence its name.
