Summer: Cool and beautiful

Time: 14th August, 2015

Summer is the best season to enjoy the cool, tranquility and uniqueness in Qingyin Pavilion, Hongchunping, Jiulao Cave and Xixiang Temple. Tourists can explore the tranquility along the routes on which the experts from UNESCO had left foot prints when they examined the natural and cultural heritages in Mt. Emei.

The mountain, from its foot, is covered in lush green. Rays of sunshine are cast into the dense bushes. Everything around you is green: the mountain, the water, even the paths, sunshine and air are green, deep or light, forming a green space, like a landscape painting, spilling out the breath of youth and life, and relieving your heat.

Niuxin Stone (Ox Heart-Like Stone), the witness of history and life for more than 200 million years, stands still amid the converging breaks of the Black River and White River. "Two bridges span over the rivers, thousands of years stand the ox heart", the verse vividly describes the view. The path wind through Yixiantian (A Strip of Sky), leading to a secluded quiet place. And morning rains in Hongchunping sometimes feel like rain drops and sometimes like fogs, clear and misty. The clouds in Huayan Peak drift in the pine forest, dancing and floating; while mists and clouds in Leidongping arise from the valley, or drift across the azure sky. The ever-changing shapes well present the attractiveness of the clouds in Mt. Emei.

At midsummer night, the bright and clear moonlight pours to the earth, and the sky and earth are silver with peace, tranquility and quietness. The moonlights in the midsummer night are much more beautiful than they are at other time. Look, in the tender moonlight, the mountain is showering in the moonlight, like veiled in the rain and mists. In such a night, accompanied by the clear moon and light, the worldly cares are far away.

Standing on the Golden Summit, you can see the Mount Gongga glittering like a translucent panel, or a holy Kha Ta for the climbers. When the sunlight shines on top of the Buddha's pagoda, auspicious light is reflected from the gold Buddha, embroidering the clouds sea with gold edges, with the Golden Palace, Silver Palace and Brass Palace glistening.
