Emei Mountain Ultimate Travel Guide: 4 Tailored Routes for Adventure, Leisure & Night Climbs
 
Unlock the magic of Emei Mountain—China’s UNESCO-listed Buddhist sacred site and natural gem—with our all-inclusive English travel guide. Whether you’re chasing adrenaline, craving relaxation, or dreaming of a starlit night climb, we’ve crafted 4 flexible routes (1-day to 2-day, plus a unique night hike) to fit your schedule. No more stress over confusing trails or transportation—we break down every detail of scenic buses and cable cars, so you can focus on soaking in Emei’s beauty.
Your Perfect Emei Route Awaits
 
Every traveler has a different style—our guide matches you with the ideal journey:
Trekking Route A (Challenge): Test your grit on the 9-Turn Trail via Hongchunping. Pass through wild monkey zones, tackle the grueling 99-Curves ascent, and reach the summit just before dusk for panoramic views.
Leisure Route B (Relaxation): Skip the tough hikes and hop between landmarks with ease. Take cable cars and shuttles from Baoguo Temple to Golden Summit, descend to Wannian Temple, and end with sunset at Qingyin Pavilion—perfect for casual explorers.
Night Pilgrim Route (Adventure): Depart at nightfall to hike 50km of ancient pilgrim paths. We’ll help you time your final push through Elephant Bathing Pool, so you catch dawn’s first light over the sea of clouds (headlamp tips and gear lists included—no fumbling in the dark!).
Balanced & Seasonal Route (Flexibility): Enjoy a laid-back pace with Golden Summit as your top priority, plus stops for local flavors (we share hidden Sichuan food spots!). In winter? Swap hikes for skiing at Leidongping’s snowfield by day, then soak in open-air hot springs under snowflakes—don’t miss the ice-encased Cable Car ride for aerial views of frozen waterfalls.
