The sunrise at the Golden Dome of Mount Emei is famous for its unique geographical location and spectacular natural landscapes, with the following special features:
High-altitude perspective: Jinding is located at the highest point of Mount Emei, 3077 meters above sea level, providing an excellent viewing platform, overlooking the sea of clouds and distant mountains, and watching the sunrise is more vast and magnificent.
Sunrise over a sea of clouds: Watching the sunrise at the Golden Dome is often accompanied by a beautiful view of the sea of clouds. At sunrise, the sun penetrates the clouds, creating golden beams that illuminate the sea of clouds and create a magnificent picture.
Buddhist cultural background: The Golden Dome is the core area of the Buddhist holy land of Mount Emei, with a 48-meter-high statue of Shifang Fuxian, a golden hall with resplendent gold, and a bronze hall and a silver hall with a collection of cultural relics. At sunrise, these Buddhist buildings become even more sacred in the light of the rising sun.
