In the afternoon, at the foot of the Sheshen Rock, every place is full of pure white clouds. Then an aura the color of red, orange, yellow, green, black blue, blue and purple extends within a radius of around one to two meters (about 3 to 7 feet). It looms and shines in the center like a mirror. Back against the sunlight from the west, sometimes you can find your own shadow in the aura. And your every action is followed by the figure in the aura, as if you were facing a bright mirror. To your most surprise, even if millions of people were viewing at it or two persons hugging each other were enjoying it, they could only see themselves. And this is the magic Buddha rays, which are rare in other places but appear in Mountain Emei frequently.

The Chu Hall, 1,740 meters above the sea level, is dedicated to Sakyamuni, the god of Wisdom, the god of Universal Benevolence, the Goddess of Mercy and the Guardian of Earth. The natural and beautiful scenery is so unique and marvelous for eyes. The white clouds arise here everyday and fly toward Camel Mountain, then touch down slowly. Therefore, it gets the name “Clouds Nest”. During winter, everything is white but the Clouds Nest. Rabbits, squirrels and birds all come here for food. The beautiful scenery is known as Clouds Nest without Snow.

The Archway of “No.1 Mountain under The Sun”, measuring approximately 17.8 meters in height and 22.2 meters in width, is one of the largest archways in China. The archway, in the traditional architectural style of the late Ming and Qing Dynasties, has upturned eaves looking both sophisticated and elegant. Mr. Guo Moruo, a very famous writer in modern Chinese history wrote a beautiful inscription on its face in 1959, and Mr. Zhao Puchu, the chairman of China Buddhism Association, inscribed the Chinese characters “Holy Land of Buddhism” on its back side.

The beautiful Bell pavilion on the phoenix village is located opposite to the Nation-dedicating Temple. In the area, there stand groups of tablets with inscriptions of several famous authors and philosophers, such as Lee Bai, Kang Youwei, Liu Guangdi and many more. As you wind your way up the mountain, you can see a lovely hexagonal pavilion with two layers of eaves and red pillars. That is the Bell Pavilion. A tablet on its face tells some character “Evening Bell of Shengji”. Evening bell of Shengji was once one of the 10 scenic spots of Mountain Emei. The bronze bell, made during Ming Dynasty, measures 251 meters in height, 204 meters in diameter and an amazing 125 tons in weight. It, as a valuable relic, is known as the King of the Bell in Sichun Province and is a very valuable relic.

Turning left at Clear Sound Pavilion and passing by a stone bridge, visitors can find the hundred-meter cliffs on both sides join unexpectedly with only a small gap between them. Looking through this gap, the blue-sky turn into a straight line suddenly, hence the name Line of Sky. Sunlight from this gap makes the Black Dragon River simply glistening. An ancient twisted plank goes twists along the cliff, above this river. Walking up the hundred-meter plank trail, you will feel quite refreshed with the cool wind blowing all around you.
