Qingyin Pavilion (清音阁), which means “Pavilion of Pure Sound,” was built in the fourth year of Emperor Xi Zong’s rule during the Tang Dynasty, in 877. It was so named because the structure was built on a rocky outcropping in the middle of a fast-flowing stream, from which emanate the pure sounds of rapid waters rushing down.

The splashing currents, isolated beauty of the pagoda, and emerald-colored twin arch bridges that lie partly hidden and partly visible through Mt. Emei’s vegetation all come together to bring you to a state of quiet contemplation, melting away the trivialities of the outside world and bringing you to intimate connection with Mother Nature..

Qingyin Pavilion is in the middle part of Mt. Emei. It is no exaggeration to say that the whole area of the pavilion is a fine picture with green hills and blue water. At its high point there are towering exquisite and refined pavilions. Two gloriettes stand in the middle of the region of Qingyin Pavilion. There is one stone bridge crossing on the Black Dragon River (The color of the water is dark green.) and the White Dragon River (The color of the water is ivory.) on each side of the gloriette. The two bridges are like a pair of wings, so a beautiful name was given to them: Double Flying Bridges. In the lower point, you can see the Black Dragon River on the right of the Cattle Heart Pavilion and White Dragon River on its left.

Mount Emei QingYing Pavilion

• The billowing waves strike the huge stone in the green pond giving out the roaring sound time and again and echoing around the surrounding valleys and woods.
• The water splashing in all directions like broken pieces of crystal pearls and jade and forms a series of water drops flying in the air and then drop into the pond. How amazing it is!
• In the night with full moon and soft wind, all is quiet and there is only the melodious sound of water resounding in the air.
• Listening to the clear sound, your heart will be in a state of quietness and you will forget the existence of yourself, as if you had introjected with the nature and hovered in the universe.
