Mount Emei is one of the four sacred Buddhist Mountains in China. There are many sites of ancient Buddhist activities on the mountain. Ever since the introduction of Buddhism into China in the 1st century A.D., Buddhist buildings have been constructed on the mountain. There are more than one hundred temples and monasteries. The main attractions include the Baoguo Temple, Fuhu Temple, Leiyin Temple and many other spots. A visitor may think they are caught in a medieval time warp with a steady stream of pilgrims wearing straw hats, toting makeshift baggage, assisted by walking canes and waving fans. In 1996, Mt. Emei and the Grand Buddha in Leshan were included in the List of the World Famous Cultural Relics.
