Fast buses that make you feel this is your last day on Earth, throngs of Chinese tourists, long line-ups for cable cars, unpredictable wait times for buses and unfortunately for us thich fog from top to bottom. In saying all this a great adventure and one I do not regret so it is somewhat of a 50/50 split. More

We got lucky with the weather and it was a sunny day. Went with tour group. Tour bus dropped us at a big carpark, and thereafter, we had to switch to a minibus taking us up the mid-section of Emei Shan. Minibus trip takes about 45 min. Verdant view but drivers go really fast up and down the mountain, so... More

Lush green vegetation on the 3 hour drive rather dissappointing.Nothing to rave in reaching the prime site.Can be spent more pleasantlyelsewhere in china.It is now more a tourist gimmick More

Emei is by far the best trip I have ever been on. The summit is the most spectacular view I have seen, and I will probably struggle to beat it in my future travels. But I was lucky to get perfect weather when I went. I have seen photos from friend's travels and they had terrible visability. The town and... More

We took the 8am bus fr Chengdu Xinanmen bus station to Emeishan (44yuan).Just before reaching the Emeishan bus station, our bus stopped at a row of shops and a woman got on. She told everyone "going to emeishan get down here" repeatedly. As it was our first time, we got off. They will then squeeze u 7 in a car... More

If you are thinking of going for the day forget it. The bus ride up is expensive by european standards and extortionate by chinese standards, you then have a further charge to enter the park and a further £6.50 to be packed with 99 other people in a cable cattle truck to reach the summit.And further charge to return. We... More

I visited Emeishan during the winter. Was very very cold and lots of snow. Taking the bus up and down the mountain can be a life changing (or ending) experience. The mountain is beautiful and the golden Buddha was invisible until miraculously (according to my friend) the clouds parted and it came into perfect view. As mentioned in other reviews... More

I had visited Emeishan in early March 2012 and really find this mountain amazing. Proposed you take a cable car ride up to the top and after some walking distance, you will reach a very beautiful Emeishan mountain. During my visit, the whole mountain is full of snow and it is very beautiful and really worth the visit. A few... More

The road to golden summit is filled with litters. Too touristy with temples charging entrance fees and cable cars costing RMB 60 average per trip. I personally think the management should do a better job cleaning up the place, given the type of price they are charging. More
