At 10:50, we arrived at the Leshan Giant Buddha Scenic Area. At this time, the parking space was full, and the road directly to the scenic area was also restricted. Under the guidance of the scenic area staff, we stopped the car and walked to the Leshan Giant Buddha Boat Station. The Leshan Giant Buddha is located on the side of Lingyun Temple on the east bank of the Minjiang River in Leshan City, Sichuan Province. It is located at the confluence of the Dadu River, Qingyi River and Minjiang River. It was built during the Tang Xuanzong period to reduce the water potential and protect the people. The Buddha is a sitting statue of Maitreya Buddha, 71 meters high. It is the largest cliff stone statue in China. There are two ways to visit the Leshan Giant Buddha. One is to walk up the mountain and take the "Jiuqu Plank Road" to see the Buddha up close. However, it is difficult to see the full picture of the Buddha because we are "only in this mountain"; we chose the second way to travel by boat. A long-distance tour. After waiting in line for about half an hour, we finally arrived at the dock. Unexpectedly, we were blocked. We were only one ship away from getting on to a ship. I was a little angry and repeatedly reasoned with the staff. Unexpectedly,"a blessing in disguise", the next boat will be the best and latest cruise ship in the scenic area. Since we were the first to board the boat, we chose the seat closest to the ship's side on the second floor and sat down. The vision was vast. Therefore, when you go out, you must be calm and have Buddha in your heart. As long as you are in a good mood, you will have a good scenery along the way.

The cruise ship moves forward slowly on the river. On the west bank, there are endless red mountains and greenery. The mountains are not high, but they have the air of fairy spirits. Especially when the Buddha comes into view, it is like the summit of the western heaven and the realm of bliss. It is magnificent and majestic. Looking from a distance, the Jiuqu Plank Road was filled with people and crowded. The crowd could only move carefully, but the tourists 'mood was not influenced by the crowded crowd at all. They shouted and waved to the tourists on the boat. It was a harmonious and joyful scene.

After feeling it, I wrote seven poems to remember it:

Ode to the Buddha

The three rivers gather people in vain, and a celestial beauty stands on the red rock.

A lost horse in disguise is a disaster. Miller smiled at the world.

The cruise time was about forty minutes. When we got ashore, we wanted to go to the city to eat the local specialty beef. Unfortunately, the road to the Urban area was too blocked, so we drove directly to Mount Emei. The journey from Leshan to Mount Emei only takes half an hour. Sichuan's tourism resources are not as rich as those in the country. The two world heritage sites are only a few miles away. I was going to eat crooked beef from a local restaurant called Koufu Laodian. Unexpectedly, after stopping the car, I didn't look at the sign and rushed towards the people. After I sat down and ordered all the meals, I saw Koufu Laodian. Across the road, I was really ashamed. The boss enthusiastically came forward to explain the unique way to eat Crooked Beef, and we made our mistake and ate in this store. Unexpectedly, everything was the best arrangement. Then we checked the old store named "Yunxiangyuan Crooked Beef" online. It is a must-eat classic when coming to Emei Mountain. Especially when you turn the tender beef in the soup pot a few times, the taste that melts immediately in the mouth is endless. It is also in line with the boss's words,"Eating my raised beef will be unforgettable for your life."

According to the established itinerary, we should take a sightseeing bus to Wannian Temple in the middle of Emei Mountain in the afternoon. However, considering our son's health, we decided to go to the hotel first and settle down before looking for a closer look.

The Hampton Inn we stayed at was a new store that had just opened by Hilton. The floors were relatively low, but the environment was very peaceful. We stayed in two queen beds next to each other on the first floor, and the hot spring soup pool in the hotel was right at the front desk. On the way to the room. In order to relieve our physical and mental fatigue, we took a short rest in the room and went to the Tangchi to soak in the hot spring. There are three soup ponds in the hotel, which are 37 ° C, 38 ° C, and 40 ° C. The temperature of 40° C is slightly warmer. The temperature of 37 ° C and 8° C is more suitable for children. More than half an hour of soup bath washes away the fatigue, but it makes people too lazy to move around. It was not until 6:30 in the evening that we decided to move on foot and staggered out.

If you have time, Baoguo Temple at the foot of the mountain is still worth a visit. At this time, Baoguo Temple has been completed and it is time to eat, so our destination is Jingqu Road where the Food Street next to the Visitor Center is located. After walking nearly 2 kilometers, we finally sat down at the invitation of a landlady. This is a six-star restaurant. The fish recommended by the owner is very expensive (88 pounds per pound), but it tastes good. Although it has many thorns, the meat is tender and tender. In short, the value for money in restaurants close to the scenic spots is still not satisfactory.

When I returned to the hotel in the evening, my son's stomach began to feel uncomfortable again. By 11:30 p.m., when I was already asleep, I received a phone call from my wife next door saying that my son was in severe pain and requested to go to the hospital for a checkup. I immediately put on my clothes and prepared to take my son to the hospital. Since it was too late and I didn't bother the driver, I took a taxi to Emei People's Hospital. Unexpectedly, the hospital's pediatrics department was in another place, so I took a taxi to the pediatrics hospital. Fortunately, the doctor said that the child might have eaten something bad, so the son was relieved when he knew that there was nothing serious. It was already 1 o'clock in the morning when he came back. After taking the medicine according to the doctor's advice, he comforted the child and went to sleep.

DAY3 Emei climbs to the top

Mount Emei is the second destination of this trip, and it is also the attraction that I am most looking forward to during this trip. I have never heard that Mount Emei is one of the four famous mountains of Buddhism and the ashram of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva. The incense is prosperous and lasting. I have also heard that the ten statues of Samantabhadra on all sides are tall and majestic and shining with golden light. Coupled with the legends of Guo Xiang and Zhou Zhiruo of the Emei Sect written by Jin Yong, the mystery of Mount Emei makes me even more fascinated.

Although we went through the middle of the night, we still got up at 6:30 on time. The breakfast at Hampton Inn was much better than that at Jinyuan. However, during breakfast, my son still ran to the toilet several times to vomit and couldn't eat anything. I had a simple meal and took my son to the front desk to check out. Just in time for the lucky draw that day. The child was very excited and turned the lucky wheel. It was a lucky prize. The lobby manager saw that the child was not feeling well, so he gave it another gift. This time, he won the second prize of a panda doll. His son was very excited and forgot the pain. We left the hotel at 7:40 and arrived at the visitor center at 8:00. Fortunately, we didn't have to wait in line and got on the sightseeing bus heading for the mountains. There were traffic jams and bumps along the way. Fortunately, my son managed to persevere smoothly. The vehicle traveled through the clouds for nearly two hours before reaching Leidongping. The altitude climbed from more than 400 meters to 2500 meters, and the temperature also changed from 20 degrees to below 10 degrees. When we first got off the bus, the fog was shrouded in clouds and the cold wind was biting, so we went to the roadside store and bought three pieces of windproof clothing (130/piece). Of course, there are also clothes for rent nearby, which is about 50 yuan/piece, but it will affect the effect of taking photos. Therefore, if you go up the mountain in spring and autumn, thick clothes are still necessary.

After getting off the bus, you can walk for half an hour to reach the Leidongping Cableway. There are two cableways, one is circular and the other is round-trip. The circular one is closer to the drop-off point, but there are also more people going up. There are a total of 31 cable cars, each with a limit of six passengers. When we arrived at the cableway ride, there was a long line outside. It looked like the line was not particularly long, so we followed behind, but the cross-section of the line was large (there were about 7 or 8 people in a line), and the closer we went, the line became narrower, so the speed of progress was very slow. Unexpectedly, after half an hour, we came to a sign that said,"It takes about 90 minutes to get on the bus here." We suddenly felt devastated, but considering hiking up the mountain would take an hour and a half, and it was above 2500 meters above sea level. I had a little altitude reaction, and my feet felt floating and my breathing was a little rapid, so I resolutely insisted on continuing the cableway journey to the end. After waiting for about another hour, we finally got on the cable car. As soon as he sat down, he was pushed out by a huge gear, as if he was soaring. At this time, the sky suddenly cleared up, or it may be because he had risen above the clouds. His wife was afraid of heights and didn't dare to open her eyes. The two children were so excited that they couldn't close their mouths. They looked down at the white clouds at the foot of the mountain and looked down at the scenery at the top of the mountain. They felt uncomfortable. After driving for five minutes, I climbed more than 500 meters and got off the car at the top of the mountain.

In the spring of March, the Golden Peak of Mount Emei had just snowed the day before. It was covered in silver, which was more solemn and delicate. Looking up, a strand of golden light pierced into your eyes. It was the ten statues of the Samannah in the four directions. The white snow reflects the sun and reveals a little red, making people feel relaxed and refreshed. Ten minutes on foot, we arrived at the Jinding Scenic Area of Mount Emei. The four directions of the Jinding are shining with gold, and everyone looks up and admires it. We are also catching up with the rare sunny days of the year on the top of the mountain, and we feel the Buddha's light shines brightly and golden light shines!

My wife went to ask for a set of incense, and immediately found a local tour guide. Under the guidance of the tour guide, we burned incense and worshipped in front of the statue of Samanxian, the Daxiong Hall and the Guanyin Hall in turn. Before each worship, we lit two candles, and then used the candle to ignite the three long incense pillars. Although I do not believe in Buddhism, I am still impressed by the boiling incense and pious etiquette. I pray to bless the safety of my relatives and the prosperity of my country. Just as we were about to climb the summit after praying, the entire Golden Summit was once again covered by clouds and mist. The cliffs were also covered with thick fog, and the scenery at the foot of the mountain was hidden in the clouds.

I can't help but write a poem with emotion:

Emei Golden Summit

In March, the snow is floating in the sky, and the golden roof is decorated with green and green powder.

Children are playing in the fog, unaware of being in the auspicious clouds.

I am willing to burn incense and worship before the Buddha without taking advantage of wealth or fame.

The Buddha's Buddha shines on all directions to welcome the prosperity!
