This is the temple where we spent the night on our 2-day hike of Mt. Emei (Emei Shan) in Sichuan, China.
The complex is pretty large and although the temple is not the most elaborate or picturesque on the mountain it did have decent rooms, a dining room and (drumroll!) hot showers. Our kids were happy just to stop.
The bathrooms deserve particular comment. They were the stinkiest that we’ve experienced not least because the water just washed the waste into a channel behind the temple where there was a nice build-up of months, maybe even years, of human waste. “Temple Toilets” is our new short-hand for the most basic and truly stinky category of facilities.
