<title>Bluesky: Wannian(Long Life) Monastery</title>
<link>http://www.china-travel-tour-guide.com/forum/article865.htm</link>
<description>Bluesky: This monastery is the oldest surviving Emei temple(reconstructed in the 9th century). It&#039;s dedicated to the man on the white elephant, the Bodhisattva Puxian, who is the protector of the mountain. This 8.5m-high statue is dated from AD 980, cast in copper and bronze and weighs an estimated 62,000kg. If you can manage to rub the elephant&#039;s back, good luck will be cast upon you.
The statue is housed in Brick Hall, a domed building with small stupas on it. When the temple was damaged by fire in 1945, Brick Hall was the only building left unharmed. There is also a graveyard to the rear of the temple.
