At 3,077m, Emei Mountain’s sacred peak glows with golden temples, ancestral whispers, and sunsets that set the clouds on fire.
✨ Why You’ll Love It
🌟 Golden grandeur with the 48m Samantabhadra Buddha shining against endless mountain waves.
🏯 Temple beauty awaits as you explore crimson pavilions perched above the clouds, their bells ringing in the wind.
🕯️ Ancestral Wall: Stroll through a quiet corridor lined with centuries-old urns, each holding stories of devotion.
🌅 Sunset magic happens after 6 PM when the sky turns the temples into silhouettes.
📍 Your Journey
From Chengdu: Take a bullet train to Emeishan Town (2h), then a shuttle bus (90min).
Final climb: Choose the cable car from Leidongping (5 mins, 65 RMB) or hike (2h, stone steps).
Ticket: 160 RMB (Apr–Nov) / 110 RMB (Dec–Mar).
⚠️ Smart Tip
Temperatures drop fast—bring layers (the summit is 10°C colder). A jacket is essential for those sunset chills!
A place where heaven feels close enough to touch. Perfect for: Temple lovers · Sunset chasers · Those seeking stillness
