Mount Emei Tour Guide

Real coordinates · smooth curved route
Mount Emei is one of China's four sacred Buddhist mountains, topping out at 3,079 m on the Golden Summit. The park splits into three belts: the low zone opens with the Baoguo and Fuhu temples, the mid zone holds Qingyin Pavilion, One Line Sky, the monkey area and Wannian Temple, and the high zone climbs from Leidongping by cable car to the summit. Classic two-day route: Day 1 enter at Baoguo Temple, take the shuttle to Wuxiangang, walk Qingyin Pavilion, One Line Sky and the monkey area, then ascend Wannian Temple and stay mid-mountain; Day 2 ride the cable car from Leidongping for the sunrise, sea of clouds and Buddha's halo, then ride back down. Trekkers can take the left branch via Hongchunping and Xixiang Pool.
