Introduction

Xianairi is the nearest sacred mountain to the entrance of Yading Scenic Area. Its magnificent figure can be seen from afar at Chonggu Temple. The entire snow mountain presents a downward sloping shape under a circular ice funnel, so when viewed from both sides, the peak always faces us. The summit is covered with snow that will never melt, and the shape of the mountain resembles a giant Buddha lying on its back. When the sunlight shines on Xianairi sacred mountain, it emits golden light. If you want to admire it up close, walking is an option, but it requires sufficient physical strength. A better way is to ride a horse there.
