Mount Emeishan - Buddha's Aureole

A short distance from the Huacang Si Monastery and the Monastery of the Reclining Clouds lies the well-known Terrace of Beautiful Views (Duguang Tai), from where the visitor can enjoy ''the three magnificent views of Mount Emeishan'' - the Sunrise, the ''Sea of Clouds'' and Buddha's Aureole.

''Buddha's Aureole'' is the name given to a halo phenomenon, as a result of which a person looking out from the viewing terrace can see his or her own shadow a short distance away surrounded by a circle of light in the seven colors of the spectrum.
