Introduction to Leidongping: Leidongping is located on Lianwang Slope, 2430 meters above sea level. It was named Thunder Temple in ancient times and was reportedly built in the Han Dynasty. It was rebuilt during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. During the Daoguang period, the monk's heart was moved and rebuilt. During the Tongzhi period, the monk's garden was moved here and later destroyed. In 1992, it was rebuilt by the Emeishan Buddhist Association. In the middle of the first floor is a statue of Maitreya, with a simple and solemn shape. There is a pavilion on the right side of the temple. In front of the pavilion is a stone with three characters "Leidong Pavilion" engraved in seal script.
There used to be a no-noise iron monument erected on the side of Leidongping. Visitors were prohibited from making loud noises, otherwise there would be thunder, lightning, and violent storms. According to legend, there are seventy-two caves under the rock, where dragon gods and thunder gods live. When there is a drought, villagers come here to pray for rain and throw dead pigs, dogs, women's clothes, pants and shoes under the rock. Thunderstorms often occur. Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty once gave the imperial book the word "Lingjue".
