Mount Emei | Chengdu's Backyard Garden, 2-Day 1-Night Ultimate Guide

! You must visit Mount Emei when leaving Chengdu—it's absolutely legendary! 🤩
For those tired of Chengdu's city attractions, I highly recommend a trip to Mount Emei—it will blow your mind and make you scream with excitement‼️

📝 Sharing a 2-day 1-night in-depth travel guide with you~

🚗 Transportation Guide:
✔️ Self-drive: 2.5 hours from Chengdu directly to the scenic area's main gate/Zero Kilometer Parking Lot
✔️ High-speed train: Chengdu East → Emeishan Station 🚄 (1.5-hour ride)
There are direct buses to Leidongping inside the station—super convenient!

✨ Must-Visit Attractions:
【Must-See at the Foot of the Mountain】
🏮 *Only Mount Emei* Theater
This is truly a god-tier performance I’ve ever seen!! 🎭
Divided into three experiences: Below the Clouds / Amid the Clouds / Above the Clouds
From nostalgic folk villages to immersive stage plays—non-stop excitement!
Super lucky to catch the Ice & Snow Festival opening ❄️—over the moon with joy~

【Must-Visit on the Mountain】
⛰️ Golden Summit (Sunrise + Sea of Clouds + Snowscape)
Mount Emei is stunning in all seasons ✨
Rolling clouds on sunny days ☁️, snow-covered in winter ❄️
Plus, super cute (yet fierce) monkey buddies 🐒
Winter also offers skiing and snow activities ⛷️

🏨 Top Accommodation Pick:
Hongzhushan Zen Mountain Retreat Private Hot Spring ♨️
Private indoor & outdoor hot springs! The setting is ethereal~ Soaking in the springs with a view in the morning, sipping hot tea—this is the life! 😇

💡 Pro Tips:
1⃣️ Check the weather in advance and pack enough warm clothes 🧥 (big temperature difference at the summit)
2⃣️ Take the bus + cable car for ascent/descent—hiking in winter is risky ⚠️
3⃣️ The scenery along the way is amazing 📸—don’t miss out on epic life photos!
4⃣️ Bring some snacks, but beware of monkey "borrowers" 🐵
