Don't live up to

winter, it's finally open! Travel can be said to be gone, and you will have some regrets at the travel level in the past three years, right?
What will be your first travel destination after liberalization?
In short, don't let this winter down!
I flew to Mount Emei, Sichuan with my friends as soon as possible, to go to an Emei snow together!
It is said that in winter, ice and snow are the eternal topic of Mount Emei.
This is so attractive to children in the south that when they reach the top of the mountain, they have to take a big breath of fresh and sweet air despite the cold. I guess that's what freedom tastes like!

room and board recommendation

When you come to Mount Emei, you must plan in advance, and it is best to book the itinerary and food and accommodation in advance. This time I stayed at the Emei Mountain Hotel at the southwest gate of the scenic spot. There are many hotels around here, and the price grades are also high and low. Because tourism has not fully resumed now, and there are many winter activities, with the same budget, you can now live better than before.

There are also many people to eat outside the scenic spot, Sichuan is rich in food, and the snacks in Leshan are even more absolute, and my favorite is the beef. This time I came to Mount Emei and ate a seafood buffet in the Hongzhushan Hotel, which left a deep impression on me. Because before I came, I never thought that mountain attractions could have such fresh and rich ingredients, probably thanks to the convenient transportation of Mount Emei. Coupled with the blessing of Sichuan's local taste, it is called a delicious taste. The buffet is open to eat, so you can climb the mountain!

Practical information

Mount Emei will implement off-season tickets in winter. From December 15 this year to January 15 next year (December 15, 2022 - January 15, 2023), the price of the scenic spot ticket will be adjusted to 110 yuan/person (original price 160 yuan/person). The uplink of the Wannian Ropeway is adjusted to 30 yuan/person (original price 65 yuan/person), and the downlink is adjusted to 20 yuan/person (original price is 45 yuan/person). The uplink of the Golden Peak Ropeway is adjusted to 30 yuan/person (original price 65 yuan/person), and the downlink is adjusted to 20 yuan/person (original price 55 yuan/person).Is there a whole set that can still save money for a hot pot meal?

In addition, there is also a large distribution of 50 million consumption coupons in the scenic spot recently, and I participated in the lottery after purchasing tickets. The prizes include tickets, sightseeing tickets, ropeway tickets, hotels, ice and snow, performing arts, tea and other consumption coupons, which can be directly deducted when purchasing products. Because the Chinese New Year was approaching, I bought some Emei Xueya tea leaves to take back to my relatives and friends.

Let's just make a brief statement, many people may not know that Mount Emei is also one of the oldest tea birthplaces in China. It is said that the Emei camellia incident "began in the Western Zhou Dynasty, originated in the Qin and Han dynasties, and was famous in the Tang and Song dynasties". Emei Snow Buds are better than ordinary green tea in terms of efficacy and taste, so if you want to buy specialties, it is recommended to buy Emei Snow Buds, which has face. Moreover, tea is light in weight and small in size, and does not take up much space in the suitcase.

how to get there

Mount Emei is located in Leshan City, Sichuan Province, I came from Jiangsu to take a plane to Chengdu Shuangliu Airport, and then directly transferred to the intercity high-speed rail at Shuangliu Airport Station to reach Emei Mountain Station, which is less than 2km away from the Emei Mountain Hotel where I stayed. If you are flying to Tianfu Airport, you can take the subway to Chengdu East Railway Station, and then transfer to the intercity high-speed rail to arrive.

Then here is a key point: Mount Emei has Mount Emei Station and Emei Station, only one word apart! But Emei Station is farther away from the scenic spot, so don't make a mistake when buying tickets. There are also intercity trains to and from Chengdu, and the number of trains passing through Shuangliu Airport Station is relatively small, so those who want to transfer conveniently must grasp the time, otherwise they can only go to Chengdu East Railway Station.

you are like me and are also coming to climb Mount Emei for the first time, it is recommended to take the ropeway to Wannian Temple to start hiking, then take the White Dragon Cave to Qingyin Pavilion, pass through the first line of sky and then go to the ecological monkey area to watch the monkeys, and finally take the car back to the Wuxiangang parking lot. This classic half-mountain hiking route of Mount Emei allows you to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Emei along the way, as well as the profound historical and cultural heritage, and of course, you can also get up close and personal with the Emei monkeys. The whole hike is about 8.5 kilometers, and the number of steps is about 2w+, and tourists with a little exercise foundation can walk down very comfortably. If you are tired of this road, then you have to come to experience even more!

Wannian Temple is located at the foot of Camel Ridge, at an altitude of 1,020 meters, and it is also one of the oldest ancient temples in Mount Emei, and many literati and political celebrities have visited it. Really! Li Bai, the great poet who loved to write poetry and traveled everywhere, also once climbed Emei and lived in this temple. The most special thing about Wannian Temple is that it hides a rare ancient Buddha's tooth, the Bayeux Sutra given by the King of Siam in the Ming Dynasty and the imperial seal of the Wanli Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, which is regarded as the Three Treasures of Zhenshan Mountain in Mount Emei. As for the origin of these three treasures, I won't go into too much detail, if you are interested in hunting, you can search for it yourself.

As an important scenic spot in the middle of Mount Emei, Wannian Temple is also a good transportation hub, which leads to the Golden Dome and descends to the mountain pass. Here is a road map of Mount Emei for everyone, you can play according to your own situation. The route we took was the classic mid-mountain hiking route mentioned above, after all, in addition to the snowy scenery, the first time we came to Mount Emei and we were looking forward to meeting the Emei monkeys.

When it comes to Mount Emei, many people and I must have the first impression of the Emei monkey. The monkeys here often appear on hot searches because they have done something out of the ordinary. In fact, the biggest feeling I felt about this visit was that most of the monkeys on Mount Emei have seen the world.

The Emei Mountain Ecological Monkey Area is our country's largest wild natural ecological monkey area, its range is distributed in the mountains and mountains at an altitude of 800 meters to 2400 meters, according to survey statistics, there are a total of 15 communities in relative concentration, and the number is about 500. With so many monkeys, I was also careful before coming, and made a lot of measures and plans to protect my photography equipment. Unexpectedly, as long as they prepare a little food, these Emei monkeys can actually cooperate very well to take pictures with people. I think this is the true state of most of the Emei monkeys, right? As long as we don't provoke them, generally speaking, we won't attack people. After all, to "receive" so many tourists a day, how can you love to fight so much!

After watching the Emei monkeys, this day's hike was a successful end. We planned to go the next day at the Golden Dome. Mount Emei is really big, it is not easy to come here, it is not recommended to walk around and enjoy the flowers. It is the most comfortable to be able to spare 2~3 days to play.

Golden Dome view

The golden peak of Mount Emei is 3,079 meters above sea level, which is the highest point of Mount Emei, the end of the mountain. Although the Golden Dome is high, it is now easily accessible by round-trip ropeways. It's better to take the car to the ropeway station first, when I was about to arrive at the ropeway station, it was already very beautiful, and I was able to encounter the snowy scenery, so I didn't come in vain this time. As soon as you get off the bus, you can't wait, and after getting on the cable car, you are even more attracted by the surrounding scenic spots.

Reach the Golden Peak! Despite being at the top of a mountain, it is still full of attractions, with buildings complementing the natural beauty. The rime wonders in winter are also truly amazing, and after the snow, it is like being in a fairy tale world. Here, even if my hands were so cold that I didn't want to take it out of my pocket, I couldn't resist the temptation of the beautiful scenery and pressed the shutter wildly. At this time, all the text looks pale and weak, and what the eyes see on the scene is more shocking than the photos.

I have to say that the luck this time is really good. Because it has just snowed, the sky is clear, not only the snowy air is also particularly transparent, which is really hard to find. The top of Mount Emei, which is 3,099 meters away, is called the Top of Ten Thousand Buddhas, and the cliff wall here is the most steep from a distance, which reflects the magic of nature. If you need to take pictures of the sunrise and sunset, you can also choose to stay at the Golden Peak Hotel. Because the transportation cost on the mountain is high and resources are scarce, the accommodation conditions on the top of the mountain are not as good as those at the bottom of the mountain, but the price is more expensive!

new format in Emei Mountain

In our lives, we often say: "People who are better than you are not scary, but what is scary is that people who are better than you work harder than you!" "The biggest impression I had when I came to Mount Emei this time was that this mountain was good enough, but it was still innovating and catering to the needs of modern tourists, which I really didn't expect.

Why do you say that? Mount Emei is one of the "Four Famous Buddhist Mountains" in China, the highest level of 5A-level scenic spots in the country, and a national key scenic spot. Moreover, the Emei Mountain-Leshan Giant Buddha is a dual heritage of world culture and nature, and the Emei Mountain Ancient Building Complex is a national key cultural relics protection unit. So many names are enough to see the excellence of Mount Emei. However, this time I came to Mount Emei, in addition to these beautiful scenery and humanities that we know, I actually experienced the recently popular tea making and camping barbecue around the stove on the Internet, which is really rare.

In addition, new formats such as starry sky camps and ski resorts have also been created on Mount Emei. Coupled with the performance of "Only Mount Emei", which is very worth watching, it is hard not to fall in love with such a trendy Mount Emei. I really gave you a strong Amway Mountain Ski Resort, participated in the ice and snow hot spring happy season 50 million consumption voucher distribution activity mentioned in the previous practical information, and got a ski ticket for 60 yuan, and finally lived up to this season's Emei snow.

For most tourists, skiing is an experiential play project, and it has not been popularized to the stage where everyone is a master of skiing. Mount Emei Ski Resort is enough for ordinary tourists to play. While enjoying the beautiful scenery, don't miss this place! My two-day trip to Mount Emei is over after skiing! Unforgettable and decompressing, I think I will see you again in Mount Emei!
