Stars of the Big Dipper and constellation Leo shine above a temple of Mount Emei in China

Northern stars of the Big Dipper and constellation Leo shine above the Wanfo Summit at the World Heritage site of Mount Emei in China. Mount Emei is a place of historical significance as one of the four holy lands of Chinese Buddhism. And for the meaning of Wanfo, is the house of the mountainas patron deity, Bodhisattva Samantabhadra. As well as the other 30 ones at Mount Emei, this temple is in local traditional style, making full use of the terrain. The advanced architectural and building techniques are the quintessence of Chinese temple architecture

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the ethereal beauty of the night sky above Mount Emei in China. The stars of the Big Dipper and constellation Leo shine brightly, illuminating the sacred temple below. As one of the four holy lands of Chinese Buddhism, Mount Emei holds great historical significance. The Wanfo Summit, where this temple is located, is a World Heritage site that showcases traditional Chinese architecture at its finest. The temple's design seamlessly integrates with the natural terrain, showcasing advanced building techniques that are quintessential to Chinese temple architecture. The meaning behind Wanfo goes beyond mere aesthetics - it represents the abode of Bodhisattva Samantabhadra, a patron deity revered by locals. This sanctuary is just one among 30 others on Mount Emei, each following local traditional styles. As you gaze upon this photograph, you can't help but feel a sense of spirituality and awe. The celestial backdrop against which this ancient structure stands creates an atmosphere that transcends time and space. It serves as a reminder of both our earthly existence and our connection to something greater than ourselves. Jeff Dai's expert photography skillfully captures not only the architectural beauty but also highlights the clear night sky above. This image transports us to another world - one where nature and human creation coexist harmoniously under a starlit canopy.
