When visiting Mount Emei, you can't miss the solemnity and tranquility of Baoguo Temple. This itinerary, following the route from Baoguo Temple to Youhu Temple, allows you to experience both the pilgrimage atmosphere and the unique blend of natural and cultural landscapes. Mount Emei boasts not only historical sites, but also the lush green hills and crimson rocks between the temple buildings, exuding a true Zen spirit—especially in rainy or sunny weather, each scene resembles an ink painting, vibrant and tranquil. Recommended Scenic Spots 1. Baoguo Temple Baoguo Temple is the largest temple in Mount Emei. Just outside the main gate, you can see the large red rock inscribed with the characters "Buddha's Spirit." Surrounded by lush greenery, it acts as a natural shield around the temple. The temple's architecture embodies a distinctly Chinese aesthetic, nestled within the mountains and forests. Visiting on a rainy day enhances the Zen atmosphere. Inside, you can worship Buddha statues, admire stone carvings, ancient architectural features, and various cultural relics. Pilgrims often pray earnestly near the temple, creating a simple and peaceful atmosphere. 📍Address: Within the Emeishan Scenic Area, Huangwan Township, Emeishan City, Leshan City, Sichuan Province ⏰Opening Hours: - May 1st - September 30th, 7:00 AM - 6:00 PM - October 1st - April 30th, 7:30 AM - 6:00 PM 🎫Admission: 40 RMB Tips: Baoguo Temple is vast, allowing for a leisurely stroll and a quiet experience. It's recommended not to rush. If it rains, the temple becomes even more tranquil; strolling around with an umbrella is a truly relaxing experience! 2. Youhu Temple Compared to the grandeur of Baoguo Temple, Youhu Temple is quieter and smaller, often bustling with visitors amidst the surrounding lush greenery. Not only does it offer a chance to experience Buddhist culture, but it also hosts frequent small events, making it a perfect spot for those who enjoy the fusion of nature and culture. The temple is shaded by trees, perfect for a break and photo opportunities. On sunny days, passing Youhu Temple, the sunlight filtering through the treetops onto the red walls and yellow tiles creates a truly beautiful scene. 📸Recommended Instagram Spots - "Buddha's Spirit" red stone carving: A must-photo at Baoguo Temple in Emeishan, the greenery in the background accentuates the rocky theme. - "Ancient Tea Trees" outside the temple: Several century-old tea trees stand near Baoguo Temple, creating a perfect spot for photos that perfectly capture the temple's tranquil atmosphere. Food Recommendations Outside the temple, snack stalls offer many Emeishan specialties, such as guokui (rice cakes), tofu pudding, and bamboo shoot chicken soup. We recommend the vegetarian dishes at "Buddha's Fate Restaurant" (near the main temple entrance). They are light, non-greasy, generously portioned, and affordable. Transportation Guide Baoguo Temple is located within the Emeishan Scenic Area. You can take an Emeishan city bus or taxi to the scenic area entrance (Huangwan Township). From there, you can walk to the temple. The temple trails are mostly stone slabs, so non-slip sneakers are recommended. Mount Emei Tips - The lush vegetation surrounding the temple creates a unique photo atmosphere whether it's sunny or rainy, with the rosy glow or mist creating a natural filter. - Due to the varying elevations within the temple, comfortable shoes and rain gear are recommended (Emeishan is prone to light rain). - While circling the temple, you can quietly appreciate the natural sounds and bird songs, so don't rush. If you want to experience the natural Zen atmosphere and the Buddhist charm of the green mountains, Baoguo Temple in Emeishan is definitely your top choice. Next time you visit, even if you just take a leisurely stroll or sit quietly, you'll be able to feel the profound meaning of the three characters "Buddha's Spirit." #EmeishanGuide #BaoguoTempleCheck-In #SichuanTemple #TravelReal ...
