preface

Sichuan has always been on our travel list,

A nice song "Chengdu" made me more fascinated and yearning for him.

Later, I accidentally went to Chengdu. Chengdu is indeed as beautiful as it is sung in the song. A trip made me feel satisfied with the Chengdu I yearn for. This year, I once again felt like going to Sichuan and visit Mount Emei. Take a look. This trip once again left a new chapter in my impression of Sichuan.

Day 1 Meet Mount Emei

Mount Emei is a famous Buddhist mountain and also the ashram of Samantra Bodhisattva. You will find various temples in Mount Emei,

Every step you take, you seem to feel the pious belief brought by Buddhism.

On Mount Emei, what cannot be ignored most is the scenery that presents different scenery all year round.

This is also an important reason why I chose to come to Mount Emei.

Mount Emei has a large area and a high altitude. Different scenery can be seen according to different altitudes.

Emei Mountain Scenic Area is divided into the foot of the mountain, low mountainous area, Zhongshan Area and high mountain area.

Foot of the mountain: Huangwan Town (with many B & Bs), real-life interpretation of "Only Mount Emei"

Low mountainous area: the line from Baoguo Temple to Qingyin Pavilion

Summer Resort in Zhongshan Area: Line from Qingyin Pavilion to Elephant Washing Pool

High mountain area: the first line from Leidongping to Jinding

This time I went directly to the high mountain area of Mount Emei. There is the Jinding, the landmark of the Mount Emei Scenic Area, at an altitude of 3077 meters. Only by standing here and overlooking the mountains under my feet can I appreciate the significance of "seeing all the mountains at a glance".

Looking down from the Golden Summit, you can see clouds and clouds like the sea, sometimes like rolling waves, and sometimes calm. It is truly magical and wonderful.

Here, you will feel the best echo between the profound meaning of nature and human civilization. On the top of the mountain stands a shining golden Buddha. It means that the boundless wishes of the Samanitan can fulfill all Buddhas and all living beings in all directions.

If you are lucky, you can still see the four major wonders on the Golden Summit-the sunrise, the sea of clouds, the Buddha's light, and the sacred lamp. However, the best time to view these scenes is in the early morning. They are magnificent enough to make you feel awe of nature.

Accommodation: Emei Mountain Hongzhushan Hotel

Coming down from Mount Emei, I stayed in a "hotel planted in the forest", which is also a century-old hotel-the Emei Hongzhushan Hotel.

There is a hot spring villa area and a huge hot spring pool in the hotel. Every corner is a scenery.

The hotel has a very high forest coverage, fresh and exceptionally peaceful air, and you don't have to worry about being disturbed.

As dusk approaches, it is romantic to soak in a rose hot spring bath accompanied by beautiful scenery.

The room I stayed in was the Zen Mountain Residence Hot Spring Forest Suite.

The room is big and spacious with its own hot spring. The decoration style continues the integration of Chinese style and modern style,

Give people a sense of physical and mental relaxation and enjoy nature wantonly.

Wake up in the morning to breathe the fresh air, feel the moist breeze from the forest, listen to the low singing of nature, and start the day in a good mood.

Playing at night to check in online celebrity "Only Emei Mountain"

On the way from the urban area to the scenic spot, I saw a unique building. Out of curiosity, I asked the driver. He introduced it that it was a popular tourist attraction in Mount Emei recently-"Only Mount Emei" drama fantasy city, eh ~ drama fantasy city? What a thing. After checking online, I found that it turned out to be the work of director Wang Chaoge. As long as you have heard of "Impression" series such as "Impression of Third Sister Liu" and "Impression of Lijiang", as well as "Seeing Pingyao Again" and "Seeing Dunhuang Again" series such as "Seeing Pingyao Again", you will know her. She has now created the "Only" series, which is also her first work, which is also a major innovation in the history of Chinese tourism performing arts. It is China's first immersive theater fantasy city. That definitely needs to be explored.

Its location is easy to find. It is located next to Huangwan Town, surrounded by green mountains and green waters. It is really a treasure land of feng shui. Moreover, it is reported that the theater of "Only Mount Emei" and the Jinding Samantabhadra look into each other from afar and echo each other.

I have seen countless performance shows before, but the entire scenic area is full of theaters, and there is a performance show everywhere I go. I have never seen it.

The director used the sea of clouds on Mount Emei as a creative point and divided the theater into three performance theaters: "Above the Cloud","In the Cloud" and "Under the Cloud". At the same time, he also pioneered the integration of real-life performing arts with the surrounding primitive villages.

The daily performance time of "Above the Cloud" is 19:00-20:40, the performance time of "In the Cloud" is 18:30-18:45 (free), and the performance time of "Under the Cloud" is 20:00-21:20. You can choose which drama to watch based on your travel time.

I also made some understanding of their differences:

The "Above the Cloud" Theater is a more modern indoor theater. There are six performance spaces in the theater, telling the story of what happened on Mount Emei. The stage, lights, and scenes are very grand and shocking.

The "Cloud Center" Theater is an open area and there is no charge, but there are really many people taking photos and videos. The looming feeling makes it difficult to tell whether it is a performance in a dream or a real performance.

This is also the performance that all tourists can't resist taking out their mobile phones to take photos. No matter how to take pictures, it is beautiful and has become a check-in point for Internet celebrities in Emei Mountain.

The "Under the Clouds" real-life village theater is the first theater in China transformed from a real old village. It has a strong sense of time and a realistic scene design. There are nearly a hundred official introduction of drama performance sites, mainly telling the story of what happened in Gaohe Village in 1980.

Walking in the old village, you can see countless small theaters slowly performing here. This interpretation method is quite novel and worth looking forward to. Since I have seen countless indoor performances, this time I chose to watch the outdoor "Under the Clouds" Theater.

The "Under the Clouds" Theater has nearly 100 scattered dramas and courtyard dramas. You can imagine how huge its story line will be, and the diverse drama performances can also satisfy audiences of different appreciation levels and ages.

Looking at the "old village" of "Only Emei Mountain" from the perspective of the sea of clouds on Mount Emei, there is a family living under each eaves, and a story is played in every courtyard, as if travel and watching a drama are perfectly integrated together.

The story of the "Under the Clouds" Theater comes from what happened in Gaohe Village when Shenzhen's No. 3 Construction Company came to recruit workers in this village in 1980. It tells of many things that happened in the village that day. Two brothers turned against each other, one mother Bao Nan grew up overnight, one village widow outwitted Director Zhang, and many...

When you see such a theater, you will have an immersive feeling of live theater broadcasts, as if they are shooting a movie in front of you. Because the scene comes from 1980, it is quite like watching an old movie. The taste, the quaint house and countless old objects are reminiscent of the years back then.

Using 395 rooms to create a 90-minute real-time movie, the "Only Mount Emei" and "Under the Clouds" theater has achieved it and is a unique existence. 100 people have seen it and will have 100 feelings.

Some people will recall their childhood and nostalgia, some people will recall the old scenes and Chinese spirit of China, and some people may just be shocked by this creative interpretation that no one expected...

When you encounter "Only Mount Emei" in Mount Emei, everyone can find a memory of themselves and Mount Emei.

Emei Mountain Cuisine

The thing I remember most is tofu pudding. This Gaoji tofu pudding is an Internet celebrity shop in the downtown area.

We also have tofu pudding here, but Emei tofu pudding gives me a different taste.

I hardly ate soy products before, but when I stepped into this store, I could smell the aroma of tofu pudding from a distance, which changed my taste of tofu pudding again.

The most special thing is the tofu pudding with mandarin duck eggs here. Mandarin duck refers to steamed beef and fat sausage.

When the boss lady gave it to me, she felt the enthusiasm and solid weight of the Sichuan people.

The landlady said that she must stir it evenly before eating it will taste better. The hot soup, solid beef, and smooth egg blossoms are particularly enjoyable to eat and have endless aftertaste.

A cloud of clouds in Mount Emei, a summer retreat in the mountains, and a performance of "Only Mount Emei",

It allowed me to see the most beautiful appearance of Mount Emei. For two days and one night, I didn't want to leave for a short time.

Mount Emei is very big, and I think I will come here again to explore.
