Shi Bao Shan is famous for its buddist temple and grottoes. It is 100km south west of Lijiang. 130km from Dali old town. Just 20 km from Shaxi old town. The grottoes reflect religious and culture of Nanzhao kingdom. There are cluster of buddist temple build along cliff rock.  

Sanqing Mountatin consists of three main summits: the "Yujing Mountain", "Yushui Mountain" and "Yuhua Mountain", among which the Yujing Mountain is the highest. The rocks are very unique and the mountain is not extremely crowded and noisy like other famous mountains. There is also a cable car to take the tourists up to 1600 meters high.

It is called "the eighth wonder of the world" and is listed as the world cultural heritage by UNESCO. In March, 1974, when local farmers were digging the irrigation well, they found the underground army by chance. The warriors and horses had over 2200 years old, and 8000 pieces have been discovered in the three pits. They are not only tall in shape, but also were made precisely with accurate model and advanced techniques. Ten of thousands of unearthed real weapons which fall into complete categories are proved to be superb in technique.

I' m sure there must be a big marketing team for Mt.Emei since the mountain is run by a listed company,and became a

huge money making machine . I have seen so much exaggerated advertisement about Emei.

Unfortunately my personal opinion about Emei is rather negative,and have stopped offering tour to this mountain since September 2012.

Emei Shan or Mountain Emei,located in the western of Sichuan Basin and 160 kilometers away from Chengdu, said to be one of the 4 most sacred Buddhist Mountains in China(not many people in China are real Buddhist or know what Buddhism is) . It was listed as the World Culture and Nature Heritage by UNESCO in 1996.

1.The entrance tickets is very expensive,CNY185/PP,plus CNY90/PP for the mountain bus,plus CNY100/PP for its 5 minutes

cable car ride.

2. Extremely  touristy and crowded, each day ten thousands of domestic tourists visiting this mountain in the name of  pilgrimage,but I find few of them are real Buddhists, Chinese People are definitely not Buddhist, they are much more Confucius or Taoists.

3.The main scenery there are forest and Buddhist Monasteries,which were rebuilt in the past 30 years,the old ones were destroyed during the Culture Revolution.And I personally just think they were over built,too much monasteries,get bored to see so much because they are mostly the same. I think a real Buddhist should learn from the Buddha's philosophy and act following his good teaching.I'm sad to see Buddha's teaching is completely distorted.

4.The weather in the mountain are always wet,cold,foggy and cloudy,don't expect to see the scenery as you see in the the pictures,you might notsee anything in a whole day tour in the mountain except for some temples or monkeys(some of them are very aggressive,be caution).

The positive points of this mountain is that thesummit of the mountain is covered by heavy snow during December until middle  March of the next year. For the people(mostly are people from south China or South Asia) who want to see snow ,it's might be a place to go.

The Emei has became a famous mountain since 1980s is mainly because of  Jin Yong's Kongfu novels/movies, for his fans,they just want to say I have been to Emeishan.

So whether it's worth going to this mountain,really depends on what you expect there. Do get a overall information before going,

for most European or American tourists,China is so far away and costly,you might only travel to China once in a life time.

Fuxing Park, literally Renaissance Park, is located in the former French Concession, near Nanchang Road. The park, about 10 hectares in size, is designed in the French style, with a central lake, fountains, flowerbeds, pavilions, corridors, rockeries. Early morning, the park is filled with dancers, group singers, card and chess players, sport lovers, and Taichi practitioners and artisits.

Fuxing Park is a perfect place for spending a slow time in (or out of) the sun, as there are many shady areas and benches. When night falls, it turns to be favorable for night life. A many dainty restaurants, featured shops and mind-blowing bars scattered in the nearby Yandang Road, Sinan Road and Huaihai Road render it the most attractive public park in the city.
