The Jinding (Chinese: 金顶; pinyin: Jīndǐng; lit. 'Golden Summit'), 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 (Chinese: 华藏寺; pinyin: Huázàng sì) built on the summit. Jinding is the highest Buddhist temple in traditionally Han areas of China.
Jinding is known for its "four wonders": the sunrise, the sea of clouds, the "Buddhist halo", and the "divine light".
