<dc:title>Jinding (Buddhist Huazang Temple)</dc:title>
<dc:subject>Immovable Culture Heritage</dc:subject>
<dc:description>The Jinding, elevation 3,077 metres (10,095 ft), is the main peak of Mount Emei, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Sichuan, China. It is also a common name for the Buddhist Huazang Temple built on the summit. Jinding is the highest Buddhist temple in traditionally Han areas of China and it is known for its &quot;four wonders&quot;: the sunrise, the sea of clouds, the &quot;Buddhist halo&quot;, and the &quot;divine light&quot;.

Jinding was originally built in 1377 during the Ming dynasty, but has been rebuilt multiple times because of fire. The most recent incident happened in 1972, when the temple was used for transmitting signals of a local television station. Flames caused by a power generator quickly engulfed the wooden temple. The fire burned for two days, destroying countless precious Buddhist relics as well as numerous trees. The only remaining relics are a bronze monument and a bronze doorway from the Ming dynasty, and a bronze statue from the Qing dynasty. In 2004, as part of the Jinding &quot;Revival and Renovation Plan&quot; by the Mt. Emei Buddhist Association, the Huazang Temple was rebuilt along with a 48-meter-tall stupa of the &quot;Ten-faced Puxian Bodhisattva&quot; (Samantabhadra). The rebuilt temple was officially opened on 18 June 2006. 300 notable Buddhist monks attended the grand ceremony, as well as 3,000 visitors.</dc:description>
