The main purpose of this trip to Mount Emei is to do worship and worship at Baoguo Temple. Living in the Gion Garden of Baoguo Temple, there is no wifi, clean, clean, the bathroom is a bit slow. Zhai rice is delicious, peanut paste porridge, steamed buns, not enough to eat every day, stayed for 3 days and 2 nights, originally stayed for 4 days and 3 nights, then came back to see the weather forecast in Shanghai thunderstorm weather, rushed back in advance. 3 days and 2 nights except for the lunch on the golden top, I didn't eat in the temple, and I all ate in the temple. After returning to Shanghai, I missed the fast food there. Not to the golden top, not the time to do the meeting, just drink tea and chat with the master, the ideological harvest is quite rich, the last day of the master also tied the hand string of Buddha beads to us, thank you. Finally, although the 4 hours of worship is tired, but the opportunity is rare, there is a great blessing.
