The ninth day of Chengdu tour on October 23, 2020
We got up at around 4 o'clock in the morning and had a quick bite to eat in the hotel. At around 5 o'clock, someone from the travel agency picked us up and went to the meeting point to prepare for a two-day trip to Mount Emei and the Leshan Giant Buddha. The two-day tour costs about 200 yuan per person, including food and accommodation.
Departing at 6:30, when I first put my luggage, I thought the tour guide was a little boy. When I got on the bus, she introduced herself. When I heard her voice was that of a girl, she had a boy's short hair, and she was smart and capable.
I got in the car and started to sleep. I woke up too early. I was tired from traveling all day long. It was very hard! It was almost noon. The tour guide’s surname was Li. She spoke very quickly and acted very quickly. Her butt cracked with eggshells. She said, “I guarantee you will eat better than Jiuzhaigou and stay in a villa-type hotel.” We were dubious, and the lunch was indeed very good. I was finally full.
We had local protection when we went to Mount Emei. Director Li could not accompany us, so we had to use a local tour guide. She booked a hotel for us, arranged meals for the night, and even treated us to a show for free, with a ticket costing more than 200 yuan.
We were led up the mountain by a local tour guide named Li, and then we took a scenic bus for more than an hour before we reached the foot of Mount Emei. The entrance fee and the cableway fee were 120 yuan. Director Li chatted with us enthusiastically about her daily life. I asked if the entrance fee was free, and she said it was not free. I said that Guizhou and Shanxi and Hubei were free of entrance fee. She asked me where I had been. place……
Arriving at the Golden Summit of Mount Emei, the Big Golden Buddha is noble and gorgeous. Mount Emei is the dojo of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva. Religious culture, especially Buddhist culture, constitutes the main body of Mount Emei’s historical culture. All buildings, statues, ritual instruments, etiquette, music, paintings, etc. Showing the rich flavor of religious culture. There are many historic sites and temples on the mountain, including Baoguo Temple, Fuhu Temple, Xixiang Pool, Longmen Cave, Sheshen Cliff, Emei Buddha Light and other scenic spots. It is one of China's tourism, rest and summer destinations.
Mount Emei is located near 30° north latitude, in the southwest of Sichuan Province and on the southwestern edge of the Sichuan Basin. It is one of the "four famous Buddhist mountains" in China. It has steep terrain and beautiful scenery. It is known as "Emei is the most beautiful place in the world". The Ten Thousand Buddhas Summit on the mountain The highest, with an altitude of 3099 meters, more than 2700 meters higher than the Emei Plain. "Emei County Chronicles" says: "The clouds are emerald, and the black hair is far away, just like the eyebrows of a moth, thin and long, beautiful and gorgeous, so it is named Mount Emei."
There are four famous Buddhist mountains in China: Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou, Mount Wutai, Mount Emei, and Mount Jiuhua in Shanxi. I have been to all but Lingyin Temple.
Mount Emei is located at the intersection of a variety of natural elements, with complex flora, rich biological species, and numerous endemic species. It preserves a complete subtropical vegetation system with more than 3,200 plant species, accounting for approximately 1/10 of the total number of plant species in China. Mount Emei is also the habitat of a variety of rare animals, with more than 2,300 animal species. There are many monkeys along the mountain road, and they often form groups to beg for food from tourists, which is a major feature of the mountain.
This time we went up and down the mountain and only saw two monkeys. We were afraid that the monkeys would snatch our things and tie our bags to our bodies.
Besides, this tour guide helped us take pictures and refused to let me enter the incense hall. He said the incense there was very expensive and asked me to rest and stop being tired. I feel like the people are really nice nowadays.
When I come to Sichuan this time, Sichuan has a great preferential policy for tourists who come to Sichuan for the first time. Each person will be given a subsidy of 200 yuan. Of course, the money will not be given to you, but the travel expenses will be reduced by 200 yuan.
When it was time for us to go down the mountain, there was a guide Wang who greeted us when we signed up. He helped us book a hotel and contact us for a car. I felt that the people in Chengdu were very nice. Director Wang called and said, Sister, what you said was recorded by the director and sent to the travel agency. The headquarters said that since this is not your first time in Sichuan, your subsidy will be gone and you have to pay 200 yuan. I was stunned. I looked at the director’s face and asked her why she did this. She said no, I don’t understand what you are talking about. They sent her the recording and asked her to listen. She blushed and turned pale. , sorry to look at me.
In fact, I wrote a lot, but I deleted it again. I didn’t want to commit the crime of speaking. After thinking about it, maybe I offended others. Think about the past, when I was framed by others and only hated villains. Now think about it, people don’t know how to do it. There is no reason. Sometimes we speak unintentionally and listen with intention. We don’t know which words have offended others. We still need to find the problem within ourselves, or we should keep our mouth shut and be ourselves.
I prefer to be frank and honest, God will give me justice. No more gossip!
After coming down from Mount Emei, Director Li said that the hot pot arranged for you in the evening has not been eaten properly for three days. The hot pot is so delicious. I ate until the end and ate everything in the pot. It was so enjoyable! I’m done!
After dinner, we watched the show. To be honest, it was really good!
After watching the show, on the way back, a deaf-mute person played the role of Sun Wukong. He might also be able to read faces, but he looked stupid to us. He came over and insisted on taking a photo with us. After taking the photo, he took out the QR code and gestured for money. The deaf-mute and disabled person took out the money again and gave it. With great virtue and wealth, my sister is very lucky.
When we arrived at the hotel, it turned out that the villa was actually used to receive foreign guests. Director Li said that we were lucky enough to stay in the villa due to the epidemic. The hotel is really luxurious. It has a small backyard where you can drink tea and admire the moon. As soon as you step into Emei Leshan, you feel like you can be anywhere. ,Feel comfortable.
There is also a foot massager in the hotel. I went to the front desk to ask for mineral water. I said: Is your foot massager free? , the waiter said yes. A guest nearby who was checking in looked surprised and exclaimed when he heard that someone was massaging his feet for free! I joked: Sir, you are overthinking this. It is a machine massage. Do you still want someone to coax you to sleep? The gentleman burst out laughing.
The hotel is really comfortable. I fell asleep with your name in my arms, and happiness was etched on my face!
