Emei Mountain is the general name of Da 'e Mountain, Er 'e Mountain and San 'e Mountain. The mountains are winding, and the two mountains, Da E and Er E, look like a pair of beautiful eyebrows from a distance. They are named after "Emei, like a cicada's head, thin and long, beautiful and gorgeous". People usually refer to Mount Emei as Da 'e Mountain. The mountain consists of Paleozoic granite and metamorphic rocks, and the top is covered with a large area of basalt. Emei Mountain is located between Daliangshan Mountain and Qiongshan Mountain. Geologically, it belongs to "Emei fault zone" with many cliffs. In the long geological age, the mountain has gradually evolved into today's famous mountain with strange peaks and strange mountains through weathering, denudation, glaciers, running water and other natural force sculptures.
Because of the great temperature difference between mountains, the temperature difference from mountain to top is about 15℃, which provides good conditions for the growth of various plants. There are more than 3000 kinds of plants on the mountain, including rare tree species in the world. Dense forests, diverse tree species and green, green and dark green leaves everywhere make this mountain buried by thick green leaves. With the change of seasons, different mountains, towering old trees, waterfalls with flowing springs, and the noise of overcast, sunny, wind, rain, clouds, fog, frost and snow, the scenery of Emei Mountain is more beautiful and unique.

There is a Hall of Great Heroes on the Jinding, called Huazang Temple in ancient times. Huazang Temple was founded in the Jin and Han Dynasties, then called Puguang Hall, and later renamed Yuanxiang Hall, also known as "Bronze Hall". Because its roof is gold-plated, its tiles, columns, doors and windows are all made of copper mixed with gold, so it is named "Jinding" because it shines in the sun. On one side of Huazang Temple is Sleeping Cloud Temple, and on the left is sightseeing platform. Behind Huazang Temple is a 720-meter-high rock as steep as a razor. Looking from afar is Xikang Snow Mountain, facing a deep valley of more than 3000 meters. Standing on it, I saw clouds floating and sinking, unfathomable and shocking.
