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.
