E-mei Moun. & the Biggest Statue of Buddha

jinding << Jinding, the 2nd highest peak of E-mei Moun.
It is said that E-mei is the place of Buddha PU-xian. So the temple for Pu-xian was built on Jin-ding, the 2nd highest peak of E-mei, about 3048m high. The left photo shows this.

And the photo is taken when sunrise. How about it?
e-mei2 << The Meeting Site
There are a lot of tales about E-mei. e.g. the story about Bai Girl, who is become from a snake. She and her sister, also a snake in green, meet in the place where the left photo shows. Do you believe that?
Wan-nian-shi Temple >>
The right photo shows another temple with different style. And it was built in Jin Dynasty, thousands years ago. So the name of the temple means "Thousands of Years ". So great. It is said there is a cimelia in this temple. That is the cononet of the Buddha Statue, which is composed of gold and numerous diamonds. And around the big Statue, there are lots of small buddha statues which also built with gold. The cimelia makes the "Thousands Years Temple" become the biggest temple in E-mei Moun.
<< The Biggest Statue of Buddha in Leshan
This is the famous Le-shan Buddha Statue, which was regard as the biggest buddha statue in the world.There is another big buddhe statue, that is the whole Lin-yun Moun. And the Le-shan Buddha Statue is in the heart of the bigger statue flat. That means "buddha in heart". You also could feel "huddha also have love", when you look the bigger statue carefully. Here's no photo, you find it by yourself.

SUMMARY
As one of the four most famous boddhsim mountains, E-mei Moun. attracts turists from all over the world. Another feature about E-mei is the brutal monkeys. They would rub you for the foods. I also fighted with them for self-defence when I was there. But there is no photo evidences.

The Biggest Statue of Buddha in China is in Lin-yun Moun., 50 miles from E-mei. It is more than 80m high, and built on the bank of Ming River. I took this photo in the middle of the river, still hundreds metres from the bank. So you could image how greatful the Statue is.
