Was raining when I was there as well! Amazing sight , well worth the suicidal bus trip up/ down 🙂

YMAA (the “old” and respected publishing company of Dr Yang Jwing Ming here in America) has several Emei kung fu resources I have studied, including a Baguazhang style. Still, it seems like a much smaller and less prolific (or less surviving) martial tradition than the other mountains. (But that’s also something to like about it).

It took me 11 hours hiking from Baoguo temple to the golden summit🥶

Is Emei Shan still Daoist also or is it 100% Buddhist now. But from the video It looks more like tourist place anyhow.

[@MonkeyStealsPeach]

As far as I know, it's been mainly a site of Buddhism for a good thousand years. Daoism is more Qingcheng Shan which is a few hours away. And yes, it was quite touristy. Didn't have the atmosphere that Wutai Shan had. That said, it's quite a large area, and I'm sure there are temples more focused on genuine practice away from the eyes of prying tourists.

OK! Fake Kung Fu, or just dancing (Wu Shu) non Martial (Arts) 😳🤗😬😏

[@zetareticulan321]

Are you going to start investigating Emei martial arts?

[@frankmartinez4856]

Think 🤔 this is where Fung Duc Do, Abbot of the Southern Siu Lum (Shaolin) Temple! Set up based, after escaping the Ching’s attack in the Fujian (Fukien) Temple 😳🔥along w/ Jee Shim Shin Shee, P’ai Mei, Ng Mui, & Mew Hin (Fang Sai Yuk, grandfather) 😬

[@MonkeyStealsPeach]
