A college student from Chengdu visited Mount Emei, took a photo of Qingyinping Lake, and later accidentally rotated their phone to discover that the mountain and its reflection together looked like the Monkey King. They believed it was a coincidence and also a special connection with Mount Emei.

The college student, named Yang Yang, said in an interview with People's Daily Online that this year is the Year of the Monkey and also his mother’s zodiac year. Since people born in the Year of the Monkey can enter Mount Emei for free, the two decided to visit the mountain during the Dragon Boat Festival holiday on the 10th to see the monkeys.

"Look how much this mountain looks like the Great Sage!" Yang Yang took a photo at Qingyinping Lake in Mount Emei and accidentally rotated his phone to find that the mountain and its reflection together resembled Sun Wukong. "My mom and I were stunned at the time." He believed it was a coincidence and also a special bond they shared with Mount Emei.
