Introduction
The Elephant Washing Pool was just a small temple in the late Ming Dynasty, but it was expanded into a larger temple during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. It is one of the best places to enjoy the moon on Mount Emei, and the night moon over the pool is one of the top ten scenic spots on Mount Emei.
As soon as you arrive at the Elephant Washing Pool, the temperature drops sharply. At night, the surroundings are quiet, and a misty white fog fills the air. The bright moon hangs high in the sky, reflected in the pool, and the water and sky blend together.
The Elephant Washing Pool also provides accommodation services. Compared with the Xianfeng Temple and Yuxian Temple, the accommodation conditions are better and the prices are more affordable. For energetic tourists, it is recommended to walk to the Elephant Washing Pool and stay there on the first day.
It is important to note that, except for the monkey area, there are many monkeys around the Elephant Washing Pool. To avoid being attacked, tourists should be careful not to easily take out food and water. Address No.41 Mingshan South Road, Emeishan Scenic Area, Leshan City, Sichuan Province
