Mount Emei 2-Day 1-Night Highlights Tour｜Golden Summit Sunrise and Sunset

It takes about ten minutes from Leshan to Emeishan Station, and costs 10 yuan. There are three routes to Emeishan: lazy version, sightseeing version, and hiking version. Considering that it will cost 370 yuan per person to take the cable car, we chose the low-intensity Plan 2, which is to take a car to Leidongping parking lot and then hike up the mountain, so there is no need to take the cable car. But I also listed the easy version of Plan 1 (lazy guide for one-day tour) for your reference (⁎⁍̴̛ᴗ⁍̴̛⁎) Plan 1: Take a car directly to Leidongping → take the cable car to Jinding → hike/take the cable car down the mountain after sunrise, and visit Baoguo Temple and Fuhu Temple. We chose Plan 2, which takes two days: Day 1: Low mountain area + Golden Summit sunset Morning: Arrival and foot of the mountain tour 7:00 Depart from Chengdu (New South Gate Station/self-driving, about 2 hours by car) 9:30 Arrive at Mount Emei Visitor Center (Huangwan), buy tickets and take the sightseeing bus to Wannian Temple parking lot 10:30 Hike/cable car to Wannian Temple (ticket price 10 yuan, one of the oldest temples in Mount Emei) 12:00 Eat vegetarian food in or around the temple Afternoon: Qingyin Pavilion Ecological Zone 13:00 Hike to Qingyin Pavilion (about 1 hour, passing Bailong Cave) 14:00 Visit Yixiantian and Ecological Monkey Zone (pay attention to the safekeeping of items and avoid teasing monkeys) 16:00 Return to Wuxiangang parking lot and take the sightseeing bus directly to Leidongping (about 1.5 hours by car) Evening: Climb the Golden Summit to watch the sunset 17:30 Hike from Leidongping to Jieying Hall (30 minutes), transfer to Jinding Cableway 18:30 Arrive at Jinding, visit the Ten-Directions Samantabhadra Statue and Huazang Temple, and wait for the sunset and sea of ​​clouds 19:30 Check in to Jinding or Leidongping Hotel (accommodation in Jinding is scarce and expensive, so reservations are required in advance) Second day: Sunrise at Jinding + Hike in Zhongshan District Early morning: Sunrise and sea of ​​clouds 5:30 Get up and go to Jinding Observation Deck (if staying in Leidongping, you need to leave at 5:00) 6:00-7:30 Watch the sunrise and sea of ​​clouds (weather-dependent) 8:00 Return to the hotel for breakfast and check out Morning: Hike down the mountain to Xixiangchi 9:00 Hike down the mountain via Taiziping and Jieying Hall to Xixiangchi (about 3 hours, steep stairs but great scenery) 12:00 Have a simple meal at Xixiangchi (temple vegetarian) Afternoon: Return or play more 13:00 Continue down the mountain to Jiulinggang and return by sightseeing bus or Take a sightseeing bus to Baoguo Temple and visit the foot of the mountain museum/Fuhu Temple (optional if you have enough time) 15:00 Return to the visitor center and end the trip Plan 3: The entire 64-kilometer hike takes 14-16 hours 🗓️tips: Accommodation: Prioritize Jinding (convenient for watching the sunrise) or Leidongping (cost-effective). Equipment: non-slip shoes, warm jackets (large temperature difference on the top of the mountain), raincoats, trekking poles. Monkeys: Do not carry plastic bags, pull your backpack tightly, and avoid looking at monkeys.
