As the years pass, I have reached the age of knowing my destiny, and I have always had a wish to climb to the top of Mount Emei on foot. This year's National Day wish became stronger and stronger in my heart, and I made up my mind to arrange 2 to 3 days to plan to walk step by step from Baoguo Temple to the Golden Peak.

After all, more than 1,500 kilometers away, the take-off time from the location to Chengdu Shuangliu Airport is 23:20 at midnight, and the landing time is already 1:40 a.m. the next day, not when I was young, I will spend the night at the airport, settled in Chengdu Civil Aviation Dragon Hotel, this hotel is very close to the T2 terminal, and it is only 15~20 minutes of walking distance, and I am very satisfied with this hotel on this trip: clean and hygienic, breakfast time is 5:30, and the car delivery time is accurate and fast. It takes as little as 2 minutes to get to T2 Terminal. There are many and fast transportation options to choose from from Chengdu to Mount Emei, and since you live near Shuangliu Airport, start from Shuangliu Airport.

High-speed rail "Shuangliu Airport" to "Emei Mountain". Taking the high-speed rail from Chengdu to Mount Emei should be the fastest and most convenient choice, by the way, the city of Chengdu is really ingenious and very user-friendly to set up a high-speed rail station at the airport. The high-speed rail Shuangliu Airport Station is located on the lower level of the T2 terminal, the elevator goes up and down, and the C6273 departs from Shuangliu Airport Station at 6:51 in the morning and arrives at Emei Mountain Station at 7:54. Mount Emei is located in the southwest of the Sichuan Basin, and to the east are Emeishan City and Leshan City, both very close. Several place names should be clear, Chengdu is the first stop from outside Sichuan Province, which is like Kunming, Yunnan, which is a transit station. The station name of the high-speed rail to Emeishan City is "Emei", and the station name to the Emei Mountain Scenic Area is "Emei Mountain", although the distance between the two stations is extremely short, only a few minutes apart. From Mount Emei Scenic Area to the Leshan Giant Buddha, you can take bus No. 601 to the "Leshan Giant Buddha" station or bus No. 602 to the "Leshan Giant Buddha Tourist Service Center" station at the Emeishan Tourist Passenger Transport Center.

Day 1

Baoguo Temple is the starting point of visiting Mount Emei, founded in the Ming Dynasty, the plaque is the imperial pen of the Qing Kangxi Dynasty, the square in front of the temple is wide and tidy, the green mountains behind the temple are stacked, and the surrounding is hundreds of years of ancient trees, which can't help but make people awe-inspiring.

Coming out of Baoguo Temple, go up about 1 kilometer along the road or along the stream, and cross the three bridges of Huxi to Fuhu Temple, which was built in the Tang Dynasty, hidden in the jungle, and the nanmu trees in front of the temple are towering , The environment is quiet, the roof is spotless, which can be called the "dirt garden".

After leaving Fuhu Temple, if you walk forward, you can reach Qingyin Pavilion. Considering that the mountain is high and the road is far away, I am afraid that I will not be able to support my physical strength, so I turned back to Baoguo Temple and took a sightseeing bus to Leidongping at the Huangwan Tourist Service Center, even if I went by car, this mountain road must be mentally prepared, about 2 hours of seven turns and eight turns of the mountain road, it is noon to Leidongping. The road from Leidongping to Jieyindian should be the most densely populated road in Mount Emei, those who go up the mountain by car, those who go up the mountain on foot, those who go down the mountain by cable car, those who go down the mountain on foot, and those who go down the mountain on foot all gather on this mountain road, bustling and full of tourists, on the one hand, there are many shops, and on the other hand, there are often monkeys, but fortunately, the road is wide and the slope is gentle, like a market in the sky, which is only more than half an hour's journey. It can take up to 2 hours to walk from the Guiding Hall to the Golden Dome, or just a few minutes by cable car. The golden peak on October 1, one moment is cloudy and misty, the sky is high and the clouds are light for a while, it is really ever-changing, unpredictable, like a fairyland on earth.

Near evening, staying at Jinding Villa, this hotel is also commendable, although on the top of the mountain, clean and hygienic, the room is spacious, the night is quiet, and suddenly I hear the rustling sound of rain outside the house, exactly" lying down at night and listening to the wind and rain".

In the early morning of

the next day

, according to the hotel's reminder, the sunrise time is about 6:45, wear the thick clothes you brought with you, and arrive at the Golden Peak early to welcome the sunrise, the bright moon, the starry sky, the breeze, and the coolness...... At this time, tourists living outside the Golden Dome also gathered at the Golden Dome one after another, and the weather was good, and people held up their cameras and mobile phones, excitedly communicating with each other. Seeing the sunrise and sea of clouds on the golden peak of Mount Emei, it is beautiful! It's really fortunate!

After breakfast, take the cable car to Leidongping with the flow of people, walk through the clouds and mist, like rain but not rain, not confused, not wet clothes, take a car down the mountain in Leidongping to distinguish the stations you want to go to, there are Huangwan , Wuxiangang, Baoguo Temple, Wannian Temple;

We took a sightseeing bus to Wannianji Station, and then took the cable car to Wannianji Temple. Wannian Temple was founded in the Jin Dynasty, and the beamless brick hall and the bronze white elephant rosette statue of Puxian Bodhisattva in the hall highlight the uniqueness of this temple.

Walking down the mountain from Wannian Temple to Qingyin Pavilion, I thought that I might encounter monkeys on the way, and bought 10 yuan of dates and a bamboo cane in the square in front of Wannian Temple, and sure enough, walking to the vicinity of the White Dragon Cave, a group of monkeys roared over, hurriedly threw a bag of dates in their hands to the monkeys, the monkeys were not willing to give up, and quickly snatched the oranges in the backpacks of the tourists and the bottled milk that the children drank, but fortunately, the administrators and volunteers on the side waved the big broom in their hands to drive away the group of stubborn monkeys. It takes less than 1 hour to walk to Qingyin Pavilion, which is a place where tourists are more concentrated, the mountains are verdant, the streams are gurgling, and the Emei world Xiuguo is truly famous.

After visiting Qingyin Pavilion and Yixiantian, you can go down the mountain and walk to Wuxiangang Station to take a bus back to Baoguo Temple. So far, I visited the main temples of Mount Emei, Baoguo Temple, Fuhu Temple, Golden Dome, and Wannian Temple, and saw the most magnificent sunrise sea of clouds at the Golden Peak, and experienced the verdant beauty of Emei all the way, and was happy physically and mentally.
