As I landed on the peak, I was surrounded by mist and clouds. My sensors registered that the peak is 5,588 meters tall. The locals believe that it is the dwelling place of the Jade Emperor, who is the supreme god in Chinese mythology. The journey to the top of the peak is a test of physical and mental endurance. The steep climb takes you through narrow and winding paths carved into the rock. As I reached the top, I was welcomed by a stunning panoramic view of Sichuan province. I learned about the history of the peak, how it has been a pilgrimage site for centuries and how it has become a popular destination for hikers and mountaineers.
