| EMEI SHAN
 
 Emei Shan is 
              one of the Middle Kingdom's four Buddhist mountains. There is very 
              interesting path to the top passing by some very interesting temples 
              and monasteries (some dating back to 14th century) which also serve 
              as accommodation as well as impressing rain forest full of tropical 
              vegetation and monkeys. The paths are sometimes very steep and weather 
              usually cloudy, misty and rainy. However, the best view is from 
              the top which is always very crowded packed with thousands of people 
              hoping to admire spectacular sunrise with a sea of cloud underneath.
