A scenic mountain area houses important Buddhist temples.
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

Spent one night here as part of an intrepid tour. Arrived in the dark after a full day's hiking, so really pleased to find this peaceful, unique lodging. Rooms were upstairs to one side of the prayer spaces. Some of the group were in larger dorm style rooms. Our room had two large canopied beds. Clean, basic, functional space. Expect to wake to chanting in the early hours! Communal showers are available - just used to rinse off. Toilets were a highlight! Slightly al fresco and of the traditional communal squat variety! All part of the adventure. Cats and stick insects were included in the stay. A privilege. Must recommend Hard Wok Cafe for food and drink, you pass it at the last set of steps - splendid food!

We reached this place with difficulty as it was winter and it was freezing with snow on the ground and slippery stairs/steps. Please bring enough winter clothing, snow boots, scarf and gloves. The golden buddha was very impressive and we feel that this is a place that was worth to visit.
