What’s the difference between Mount Emei and other Buddhist mountains in China, like Mount Putuo?

Why is Emei special enough to be a dual cultural/natural heritage site?

Emei is unique because it blends incredible nature (5,000 plant species, 2,300 animals, including the rare golden snub-nosed monkey) with 2,000 years of Buddhist history. Unlike Mount Putuo (focused on one bodhisattva), Emei is linked to Samantabhadra, with temples dating back to the Han Dynasty. Its "Golden Summit" is the highest Buddhist worship site in the world, and the natural landscapes—cloud seas, sunrise views—are unmatched. That’s why it’s both a cultural and natural UNESCO site!
