The first way: take the high-speed rail to Mount Emei tourist route guide

On the first morning, take the high-speed rail from Chengdu to Mount Emei, pay special attention to getting off at Mount Emei, not at Emei Station, the difference of one word is that many people get off at the wrong station, Emei Station is in the urban area, and has not yet arrived at the scenic spot. After getting off at the high-speed rail station, there is a scenic ticket window in the lobby of the high-speed rail station, where you can buy tickets and scenic sightseeing tickets, take the sightseeing bus directly to the scenic spot, and get off at Leidongping or Jinding

Remarks: Another advantage of staying in Leidongping is that it can avoid the peak flow of tour groups, because the tour groups live at the foot of the mountain, and they arrive at the mid-levels around 11/12 noon. And at this time, the guests staying in Leidongping have already finished playing the top of the mountain and returned
from the mountain

the next day you can ask the owner of the Leidongping hotel to call for breakfast service, It takes about half an hour to climb 1.5 kilometers from Leidongping to the ropeway entrance of the Jieyindian, and about 3 minutes to reach Jinding

Remarks: You can choose to take the ropeway up and walk down, of course, the golden top to see the sunrise and the sea of clouds is to see the weather and luck of the day, after watching the sunrise and the sea of clouds, then go around and take pictures, and then walk slowly down the mountain to Leidongping.
