Emei Shan
The mountain was named for two of its high adjacent peaks, whose outlines conjure the image of two long, thin, graceful eyebrows.
Once richly endowed with both flora and fauna, this sacred Buddhist mountain is still home to 10% of China\\\'s plant species; fauna have fared less well. Altitudes on the mountain range from 500 to 3,099m and therefore the temperatures vary significantly from one part of the mountain to another. Bring layers of clothes, and adjust them as you climb and descend.
