Emei Mountain

During summer, while most places are scorched by the blazing sun and on high temperature alert, Mount Emei feels like a gentle spring breeze, cool and refreshing. Although we often describe the weather changes and diverse scenery of Mount Emei with the saying 'one mountain hosts all four seasons, ten miles show different skies,' summer is when it's at its most beautiful. It's like climbing and playing in the water, sipping tea and practicing Zen, listening to cicadas and watching monkeys... all in a huge natural air-conditioned room—utterly delightful! The weather here changes on a whim, and the sky might suddenly start drizzling, breaking the calm of the lake surface, but there's no need to worry about the next day's photo opportunities. Little do people know, the lake after the rain becomes even more enchanting. A tranquil lake surface might suddenly be enveloped by a rising mist, twisting and turning, shadowy and dreamlike. The water here is ice-cold to the bone, completely free from the city's sweltering heat.

Emei Mountain travel guide, nanny-level guide for Emei Mountain travel📍 We arrived at Emei Mountain on the first day, stayed near Baoguo Temple station, strolled around, ate something, soaked in a hot spring (Lingxiu Hot Spring, the environment is quite good, both indoor and outdoor), went out for some late-night snacks and then went back to the hotel to sleep. The second day, we got up at 6:10 in the morning to pack up, wash and make up, left at 6.45 to catch the earliest 7 o'clock bus to Leidongping. When we got there, many people were already lining up, so if you want to go up the mountain early, you must leave early. After going down the mountain, we found a Niu Hua hot pot restaurant, paired with Emei Snow, a must-drink in Emei, lychee flavored, awesome👍 💙Travel guide 👉Baoguo Temple Station—Leidongping 07:00～09:00 About two hours by car 👉Walk 1.5 kilometers from Leidongping, about half an hour, to the cable car station to the Golden Summit 👉The cable car takes 100 people at a time, maybe because we went early, there was no queue, the cable car is very fast, about 5 minutes 👉After getting off the cable car, walk for about 15 minutes to reach the Golden Summit When you reach the entrance of the Golden Summit Hotel, there will be a fork in the road. I went up from the left and then circled around the Golden Summit. There are very few people on the left and it's very photogenic. Most of my photos were taken here. 👉We wanted to see the scenery when we went down the mountain, so we chose to walk, enjoying the beautiful scenery along the way, taking photos, playing in the snow❄️ It takes about 2 hours from the Golden Summit to Leidongping (if you choose to walk down the mountain, be sure to pay attention to the time, the last bus down the mountain is at 18:00, be sure to manage your time well) ⚠️If you want to see the sunrise, it's best to stay in Leidongping or directly on the mountain top. ❤️Things to bring ✅After snowing, waterproof shoe covers and ice claws are too important, you must buy them, you can buy them at the foot of the mountain, ice claws are 10 yuan, waterproof shoe covers are 20 yuan, it's more expensive to buy on the mountain ✅Mask (required to wear a mask on the bus, not required after getting off), sunglasses (to prevent snow glare, also looks good in photos), gloves (must wear gloves, otherwise your hands will freeze), hat (the wind is strong, wear a hat to prevent your head from being blown and hurt, it's best to cover your ears, I wore a beret, my ears were too cold in the windy places) ✅Outfit: I wore a thermal top➕knitted base shirt➕fur coat, pants were thermal pants➕fleece slit pants, shoes were snow boots with waterproof shoe covers, I wasn't cold at all during the whole journey, even sweated Cost💰 Scenic area ticket: 110/person Sightseeing bus: 90/person Upward cable car: 30/person Downward cable car: 20/person I went there on January 6, 2023. There was a discount for off-season tickets. Warm reminder⚠️Be sure to check the weather forecast before you go, choose to go on a sunny day, sunrise, sea of clouds, blue sky, white snow, it's really photogenic, every shot is a wallpaper. ❄️Our way of playing is relatively relaxed, staying at the foot of the mountain to soak in the hot spring, eating some snacks, going up the mountain by cable car the next day, walking down the mountain, seeing the same beautiful scenery, very relaxed

#chinatrip The attack on Mount Emei is so complicated. Before leaving, I read a lot of attacks on Xiaohongshu, and my eyes were dazzled with confusion. After going there, I realized that the journey was actually very simple. The main routes up the mountain were completed in two ways: O Baoguo Temple, Fuhu Temple, and Qingyin Pavilion (you can take a car to Leidongping in the nearby Wuxiangang parking lot), Wannian Temple (you can take a car to Leidongping in the nearby Wannian Temple parking lot), oneb Leidongping (you can take a car to another station/you can take a cableway to Jinding), and one Jinding (you can claim a way to Leidongping). Q Baoguo Temple, Fuhu Temple, and one Qingyin 99. The road turns one in one, Leidongping, and Jinding (if you depart from Huangwan Tourist Center, you can directly connect to Qingyin Pavilion, and if you drive to zero kilometers, you can directly transfer to Leidongping). Before deciding to hike, you really need to think clearly. There is not a single attack that is so easy to write. It takes an ordinary person about three hours to escape and stop from Baoguo Temple to Qingyin Pavilion. For those who travel from Baoguo Temple to Wannian Temple for only two to three hours at most, they should be shot to death

Next is staying at Leidongping, where there are many hostels (budget hotel level), and you have to leave for the Golden Summit at six in the morning. Additionally, every temple on the mountain offers accommodation, which requires a ☎️contact. ❓Can you take a bus directly up the mountain at Mount Emei Station? No. But there is a 🆓shuttle bus inside the station that takes you to Huangwan, about 15 minutes. ❓Is it better to walk up or down the mountain? Taking the cable car up the mountain saves energy, it takes about 3 hours to climb up, but only 3 minutes by cable car. Walking down the mountain also takes 2 hours, if you don't have the physical strength, it's recommended to take the cable car both up and down. Although walking down the mountain is hard, the snow scenery along the way is very beautiful. ❓Can you take the cable car directly up the mountain from Leidongping? No. You have to walk 1.5 km of mountain road from Leidongping to reach the cable car station, which is very difficult to walk on in winter due to ice, about half an hour. ❓Do you have to queue for 2 hours for the cable car? For the round-trip cable car, it's about a 20-minute queue, 100 people per trip; for the circulating cable car, there are fewer people, basically no queue, just a little more walking. The price is the same. ❓Is it better to drive or take a bus up the mountain? Taking the bus is better, it stops at a rest station about every hour, where you can use the restroom and get food supplies. If you drive, you can only go to zero kilometers, and you still have to take the bus up the mountain. ❓Can you hike up Mount Emei? Of course. It takes about 13 hours to hike up from Baoguo Temple. ❓Is it necessary to buy ice grips? In winter, the mountain roads are all icy, and you definitely need them, otherwise, you'll slip every ten steps. Leidongping has them for sale everywhere, 10💰. ❓Is there food on the mountain? There is food for sale all the way up, and Huazang Temple at the summit also has vegetarian meals. There are many restaurants in Leidongping, all of which taste good, and 🦘 is very cost-effective. ❓Is it cold on the mountain? It's not cold, the mountain is very sunny, a down jacket is enough. But it's very cold watching the sunrise in the morning, so put on a hat and gloves. ‼️Check the weather forecast before going up the mountain, you can't see anything on the Golden Summit on non-sunny days.

A must-see! It's so beautiful that it will make you cry😭|||As soon as winter comes, the north is covered with heavy snow again, which makes the children in the south envious! I believe that no child in the south can resist the temptation of snow, but I want to say that when it snows in the south🌨, it is also stunning enough to everyone. This winter, you don't have to go to the north to play in the snow, you can also travel proudly in the ice and snow kingdom in the south.
