Xixiangchi, Buddhist temple on Mount Emei, China.
Xixiangchi Temple sits at roughly 630 meters elevation on Mount Emei, housing several halls devoted to Buddhist practice. The structures contain sculptures and objects used for religious ceremonies.
The temple emerged during the Ming dynasty and expanded significantly in the Qing period. This growth reflected a broader wave of religious construction activity on Mount Emei.
The halls contain Buddhist statues and religious objects that shape daily prayer life at the site. Visitors encounter sacred artwork that remains central to worship practices here.
Visits are possible daily, but weather at this elevation changes rapidly and can affect site conditions. Bring clothing suitable for shifting conditions.
The name refers to a pool where the Bodhisattva Samantabhadra reportedly washed his white elephant. This story gives the place deep symbolic meaning for those who visit.
