In the well-known Buddhist sacred land in Southwest China, the Jingyin Temple on the mountaintop enjoys excellent popularity among devotees. The melodious chant here can drag people out of earthly trifles.

The skyscraping stone trail with nearly 800 steps is as steep as a ladder against the cliff, like a ribbon that floats down the mountain and hangs on the peak.

Walking through the monastery, you can indulge yourself in the rapidly changing world when overlooking from the edge of the cliff. The scenery is especially imposing when it snows.
