Only have one day? You can still fully enjoy Emei Mountain! This guide is precise down to the hour, perfect for those who want a worry-free and complete experience~

🚌 Transportation Route:

▪️ High-speed rail station → Direct shuttle to the scenic area (10 RMB/person) → Baoguo Temple entrance

▪️ Tickets 160 RMB + Sightseeing bus 90 RMB, it’s recommended to buy them online in advance!

▪️ Morning: Qingyin Pavilion → Yixiantian → Monkey Area; Afternoon: Wannian Temple → Golden Summit, the loop route is designed to avoid backtracking!

🐒 Monkey Area Tips:

Just take photos from a distance! Don’t bring plastic bags, monkeys will snatch them! Stay calm and walk quickly if you encounter a monkey group~

🌄 Must-See at the Golden Summit:

Sea of clouds and Buddha’s light are rare and unpredictable, but the chance is higher between 2-4 PM! If the weather is bad, it’s okay to skip and leave some regret for next time~

🍱 Dining Suggestions:

Qingyin Pavilion’s vegetarian meals offer great value, or bring your own snacks to save time. After descending, go to Niumantang for foot-soaking beef, and take away the sweet-skinned duck—absolutely delicious!

💡 Notes:

1️⃣ Sightseeing buses run frequently, but the Golden Summit cable car line can be long, so reserve 1 hour for it

2️⃣ Travel light uphill! Pack only essentials; there are small shops along the way to refill water

3️⃣ Wear non-slip shoes! Stone steps can be mossy, be careful not to slip on rainy days

✨ One-Day Tour Essence: Focus on the highlights!

Wannian Temple cable car + Golden Summit cable car are must-rides to save time and effort; quickly pass through the Monkey Area and Yixiantian, and save your time for the mountain top scenery!
