Wannian Temple, Buddhist temple in China
Wannian Temple, perched on Mount Emei, is a serene sanctuary shrouded in fog.
Although the current buildings date to the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Wannian Temple has been a spiritual site since the 4th century AD.
Embodying Mahayana Buddhism, the temple houses the precious Samantabhadra statue, cast in copper and bronze.
To visit, adventurers must endure a steep mountain trail or opt for cable car access.
The vegetarian cuisine served by the temple monks offers an authentic taste of monastic life.
