Shu Kingdom has many immortal mountains, but Emei is unmatched. "Winter at Emei is breathtakingly beautiful! ☁️ When the white snow covers the Golden Summit, the sea of clouds churns beneath your feet, and the morning sun bathes Samantabhadra Bodhisattva in golden light, that moment of awe is truly unforgettable for a lifetime! 📍 Detailed Address: Huangwan Town, Emeishan City, Leshan City, Sichuan Province (Emei Mountain Scenic Area) 🚆 Transportation Guide: High-speed train direct to "Emei Mountain Station," then take the scenic area bus for 10 minutes to reach the entrance 🌈【Perfect 2 Days 1 Night Itinerary】 Day 1️⃣: ▶️ Arrive early at the foot of Emei Mountain ▶️ Take the scenic area bus directly to Leidongping (about 2 hours) ▶️ Challenge the thrilling "Deadly Slope" snow hike to Jieyin Hall (about 40 minutes) ▶️ Take the cable car for 6 minutes flying over the sea of clouds to the Golden Summit ▶️ Stay at the Golden Summit Grand Hotel (⚠️ book 1 month in advance) Day 2️⃣: ▶️ Wake up at 5:30 to wait for the sunrise and sea of clouds (winter sunrise around 7:30) ▶️ Worship the 48-meter-high Samantabhadra Statue at the Golden Summit ▶️ Take the cable car + bus down the mountain (about 3 hours) ▶️ Pray at Wannian Temple → enjoy the view at Qingyin Pavilion → explore Yixiantian → interact in the monkey area ▶️ Return before 17:00 🔥【Top 3 Must-Experience】 1️⃣ Golden Summit Sacred Light Spectacle 🌟 Wait overnight for the sunrise, watch the sunlight pierce through the clouds onto the Golden Buddha, a sacred scene of Buddha light and sea of clouds together—definitely worth the wait! Bring a telephoto lens~ 2️⃣ Snowy Monkey Fun Interaction ❄️ Along Deadly Slope, there are many wild Tibetan macaques! Buy a 5 RMB pack of monkey food and watch their cute bowing gestures melt your heart (⚠️ keep your phone and snacks safe) 3️⃣ Millennium Ancient Temple Zen Vibes 🕯️ The morning and evening bells at Wannian Temple (10 RMB entrance fee) are very healing. Remember to touch the relic pagoda of the Ming Dynasty beamless brick hall for good luck~ 📌 Practical Tips: ✅ Gear list: crampons + trekking poles + thermos (free hot water refill on the mountain) ✅ Monkey interaction: carry a backpack + avoid eye contact + pass quickly through the monkey area ✅ Accommodation tip: Golden Summit Grand Hotel standard room 800+ RMB, but includes floor heating, great value! ✅ Best season: December to February (sea of clouds appears over 80% of the time) This winter, come to Emei Mountain for a pilgrimage journey! Standing on the cloud peak, all worries will drift away with the wind~ ☁️🙏
