This is a picture of the backside of one of the mountains surrounding Leshan, one of China's most important mountains. Way up in the highest alcove is the most important Buddha in the area. You can't take a picture of him directly, but from back here they said it was okay (but I still felt kinda weird about it).
The stairs there are super steep and small, so it was kinda stressful coming down onto this plaza! One of my friends who went there with me bet me 100 kuai I couldn't go all the way up then back down again, but when I tried to raise it to 150, he cancelled the deal. Should have done it when I had the chance.

The song is Tai Shan by the Canadian rock trio Rush.
it's been so long...and I've always been just awful with names.
Does this song describe this Mountain?
High on the sacred mountain
Up the seven thousand stairs
In the golden light of autumn
There was magic in the air
The clouds surrounded the summit
The wind blew strong and cold
Among the silent temples
And the writing carved in gold
Somewhere in my instincts
The primitive took hold.
I stood at the top of the mountain
And China sang to me
In the peaceful haze of harvest time
A song of eternity
If you raise your hands to heaven
You will live a hundred years
I stood there like a mystic
Lost in the atmosphere
The clouds were suddenly parted
For a moment I could see
The patterns of the landscape
Reaching to the eastern sea
I looked upon a presence
Spanning forty centuries.
I stood at the top of the mountain
And China sang to me
In the peaceful haze of harvest time
A song of eternity
I thought of time and distance
The hardships of history
I heard the hope and the hunger
When China sang to me...
When China sang to me.
