One of the most iconic markets in the country. I could spend a month here. Be sure to check out Mee Sum Pastry, Gourmet Dog Japon and the Oriental Mart Grocery and Kitchenette.
The first Buddhist temple in China was built here in Sichuan Province in the 1st century A.D. in the beautiful surroundings of the summit Mount Emei. One of 41 World Heritage Sites in China!
I remember standing at one of the lookouts after walking to "the top" of the wall and thinking to myself, Wow, on one side is Mongolia and to the other is China and I literally felt as if I had the whole world to myself. It was truly awe-inspiring. Nothing like it.
