General presentation
Mount Emei
Wet forests, Buddhist temples and views from the Golden Summit mark one of China's major sacred mountains.
The discovery of Mount Emei is based on the Golden Summit of Mount Emei, Temple Baoguo and Qingyin Pavilion. The stay thus alternates between mountain reliefs, forests, heritage and natural spaces, giving a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place indismissible
Golden Summit of Mount Emei
The top carries temples and monumental statue over a sea of clouds, at more than three thousand meters above sea level. The distances, the weather and the condition of the accesses must be checked before departure; water, suitable clothing and the hourly margin remain useful, even during the most favorable season.
Temple
Baoguo Temple
This monastery at the foot of the massif serves as a historical and religious introduction to the routes of Mount Emei. The place remains culturally sensitive and discovers itself with discretion, without hindering local practices; timetables, outfit and photographic rules are to be checked on site.
Place indismissible
Pavillon Qingyin
A small temple occupies the meeting of two torrents in the middle of the forests, bridges and trails of the mountain. An early visit allows you to better observe the local usages and the details of the place, while avoiding part of the groups and the traffic.
