I went there alone and chose to hike Emeishan in one day, having already some experience in hiking chinese mountains (yellow mount,zhangjiajie...) It's really difficult but possible to do it in one day and plus you'll see no rude Chinese locals on your journey since they all take the bus+cable car. I started at 8:30 am from Wuxiangang and finished at 6pm on the Golden Summit. Rather hike on the left side than the right because you'll see more sceneries (but it's also 3x longer I'd say). During winter, witnessing the change from green at the bottom to white in high altitude is truly magical (be careful, it becomes slippery). I'd advise you to stay overnight at one of the many temples (50RMB/night) and wake up early to catch the sunrise. Unfortunately for me, it was too cloudy...…

It requires strong body to walk up the hill! Great in winter time! There is lifting up service for those have legs problems or tired and you have to pay. The very top is extremely windy, so mind your scarff.

A must see place if you are in this part of the world. One of the important Buddhist Mountains in China. If, unlike me you love walking uphill you can climb this on foot but it will take about 4 days. I settled for a full day trip. Wrap up warm in winter as the top will be a lot colder than the bottom. You can buy a combined ticket for 160¥ which will take you from Emeishan railway station up the mountain. The journey is not for those, weak of stomach as the road snakes up the mountain, contains a lot of chicanes, and the drivers don't hang around. There is a pee stop half way and the bus may stop to add snow chains to the wheels in winter. Once at the top bus station you have to walk for about 2km through the monkey reserve to get the cable car which will whizz you right to the summit. At the summit you may be rewarded with a spectacular view as well as a variety of temples, shops and restaurants to explore. You can stay in a hotel at the top so that you can see the sunrise, but its not cheap. Please note the last cable car is at 5.30 and the last bus home is at 6pm. Great day trip…

Went there in winter, mid Dec. Was snowing lightly but the forest already covered with snow & ice formed on the leaves. A very beautiful scene just like in the movie FROZEN. Never thought I can actually experience this. A must go is you are in Chengdu. A day trip is enough. Here's what I did.. Catch the earliest bullet train from Chengdu East Station to EmeiShan station at 6.20am. Reach EmeiShan at 730am. Take a shuttle bus from the Emeishan station to Leidongping(1hr). From Leidongping, take another private bus to the cable car station(1hr+). From here onwards, you will see the forest covered with snow & ice. Follow crowd or signboard to cable car station. Just watch out for slippery paths.…
