It is said that a white snake and a green snake---Miss. Bai and Miss Qing were living in Emei Mountain before, where I had dreamed of visiting for long because of their kindness and unusual stories. My dream came true finally and I was ecstatic to go there at last.

It was at dusk when I reached Emei Mountain and saw the strip-shaped stone stairs extending along the Mountain to disappear. I found an accommodation to stay since it's getting late.

I climbed the mountain in the early morning next day. During the climbing, I came across the local inhabitants and talked with them. They were good at climbing this kind of stairs but I was not.

Entering the beautiful fairyland, I suddenly remembered the Qingfeng Cave where Miss Bai and Miss Qing lived in. Following this hunch, I went ahead and felt this travel had become quite different. Then I arrived in Holy Water Pavilion where the taps were running. The clean water of it was cold and I felt comfortable when applying it on my face.

Then I got to Qingyin Pavilion where there were many statues of the Masters like Sakyamuni, Manjusri and Samantabhadra. Beautiful landscapes, fragrant flowers and glasses, pavilions and stone steles there were charming. Many people worshiped on their bended knees, so did I: may my families and friends be safe and happy!

I continued to climb the mountain and reached Bailong Cave where was said to be the place Miss Bai cultivated herself in. But it was a pity that the pass of the cave was sealed because of the landslide, only left some reveries to me.

I started a new journey after a short rest. I went towards the Golden Top scenic spot after crossing the Jiuling Slope. Covered by age-old basalts, Golden Top scenic spot was a mountainous area in Emei Mountain scenic spot and it was very cold all the year round.

The next target-attraction of mine was Xi Xian gchi to which the path was quite steep and dangerous. But I was so tired that I stopped to take a rest. During the walking from Xixiangchi to Leidongping, I saw many flowers in different colors blooming beautifully. I worshiped the Buddha and continued my climbing. The firs standing on both sides of the road seemed just welcoming us.

Finally, I got to the Golden Top scenic spot where I could look down at the thousands-miles countryside which was lingered by Min River, Dadu River and Qingyi River; undulating rolling hills, Xiling Snow Mountain and Wawu Mountain were standing in the countryside; and the Gongga Mountain appeared to be touching the sky, seeming like the paradise. It was already the afternoon so I found another hotel to stay.

In order to appreciate the "Holy Light" which is one of the four marvels of Golden Top scenic spot in Emei Mountain, I climbed up the Shuguang Stand. Although the weather that day was not suitable for the appreciating of the light, the night scenery on the top was rare and amazing.
I heard the steps outside before I got up on the third day---they were climbing up the Golden Top to watch the sunrise. I got up hurriedly and climbed the top with the crowd. It was worthy to enjoy the sunrise although it was very cold on the top. I could even felt my heartbeat when the sun rose suddenly: extremely gorgeous!

After appreciating the sunrise in Emei Mountain, I began to get down the mountain. During the cable cars' running along the ropeway, I was attracted by the landscapes under the cliffs: with thickly dotted forests, the mountain was lively and green; the white mist floating at the bottom, I have an illusion that the valley was bottomless.

I left there reluctantly finally and wished that I could have another visit to Emei Mountain one day in future!
