The walk to the temple is fairly easy, about an hour and not too much uphill climbing. Nice views along the way. The structure of the temple is different from that of most I have seen.

Harmonious budhist chants welcome you to this temple half way up mt emei.

We ended up staying in the accommodation there. Very unique experience to say the least! It was very foggy while we stayed there so very spooky but beautiful at the same time.
It was the most interesting sight in Emei Shan in my opinion, very beautiful, with a big buddha in the temple in an white elephant, very nice and very sacred for chinese. Although, as all the attractions in China, they make a circus of that. Unforgettable the awful sound of tne or twelve chinese goups and the guides talking to...
