Golden Summit of Mt.Emei

Emeishan_Sunrise_2.jpg

Overview
At the highest peak of the mountain, you will be amazed by the awe-inspiring view of Huazang Temple and witness the breathtaking sea of clouds if it’s sunny. The Golden Summit is the highlight of Mount Emei, an important attraction integrating the temples and scenic sites together. In 1983, it was classified as one of the national Han Chinese Buddhist temples. As a wondrous sight-seeing platform and the biggest pilgrimage centre of Chinese Buddhists, it has been crowned as a scenic masterpiece in the Chinese World.

It was constructed during the Eastern Han Dynasty and has been rebuilt several times after being struck by lightning. Golden Summit is in a height of 3,078 meters above the sea level. When standing here, tourists will find that clouds are lower than the peak which ensures to savor the exotic exciting scenes such as magnificent sunrise, clouds sea, mysterious Buddha rays, as well as the holy Saint Lamps.

What to See in the Golden Summit
Magnificent Sunrise: Standing on the Golden Summit with an extremely unique angle to appreciate the sunrise is a fantastic experience in the lifetime. The pre-dawn sky is wonderful. Gradually, God uses the sun to open a line of the sky. Float clouds are colored by the sunlight while some of them are even painted in the gold color. Just a few minutes, the sun is hanging on the sky and light up the earth immediately.

Clouds Sea: The fine day allows clouds floating in the clear sky freely. Rising from or just being around the countless peaks, clouds form into a white carpet covering on the ground without boundaries. When the breeze blowing and clouds drifting away, the peaks of the mountain turn into hundreds of small islands that being immersed in the sea of clouds. Sometimes there are clouds either above the horizon or in the sky, so people stand between two clouds layers, which make you feel like a supernatural being.

Buddha Rays: The special feature of the Golden Peak is 'mysterious Buddha rays', a natural phenomenon that can be observed several times a month and almost daily in October and November. O?n the top of the mountain, a circle of violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red lights may be observed in the clouds, and you may feel as if you were caught in the circle, which moves with your shadow. This is the famed "precious Emei lights" or "mysterious Buddha rays".
