Wan Fo Ding, literally ten thousand Buddha summit, is the highest peak of EMei Shan topping 3,099 meters. It's said to be the living quarters of Buddha and thus named. With great varieties of plants and animals this is a wonderful place to enjoy primitive and natural beauty as well as a splendid bird's eye view of the whole mountain. A 21-meter-high pavilion is built here called Wan Fo Ge (Ten Thousand Buddha Pavilion) with a grand bell hanging from the ceiling. The rule of hitting the bell is very special here. Everyday the monks hit the bell twice-at dawn and at dusk. Every time they hit it for 108 times with 18 hitting at a fast speed, 18 at a slow speed and another 18 at a moderate speed and then repeat it one more time. The 108 times represent 12 months, 24 Chinese solar terms and 72 Hou (every 5 day is one Hou), meaning the happiness of the whole year round. It is also said that it can get rid of 108 types of worries in life in Buddhism.
