Mount Emei Travel Guide — the golden summit of the sacred mountain - the 3,099-m Emei of the sea of clouds, the monkey lanes, the cliff temples and the dawn Buddha light
Mount Emei - the 3,099-m 'one of the four sacred Buddhist mountains of China' - rises from the Sichuan plain in a staircase of forest temples: the Baoguo and Fuhu monasteries of the foot, the Qingyin Pavilion's Twin Waterfalls, the Wannian Temple's beamless hall, and the Golden Summit at 3,077 m where the sea of clouds, the dawn light and the Buddhist halo have drawn pilgrims for 1,400 years. It is also a working nature park - the sacred macaques of the trail, the 60-km summit road, the cable cars, the 4,500-m walks between the monasteries and the ski runs of Leidongping in winter. This guide carries the ticket prices, cable and shuttle fares, walk distances, hotels, restaurants and phones from the field guide, so you can plan the climb yourself or have our team arrange it end to end.
