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

A real privilege to stay overnight in this beautiful, peaceful environment. Rooms were single gender arranged around a small courtyard with sinks with running water. Towels and bedding supplied. You are pretty free to wander around and can wake to the sound of early morning prayers. The showers have limited opening hours and toilets are squat style. The bustling tourist town with restaurants, shops and bars is a short walk away. Bus station similar. If you have the opportunity to go to the 'hot spring's to sooth your limbs from walking I totally recommend the resort style experience (intrepid tour groups I mean you!). Hot showers are available!! Lots of water!! Monastery is a unique experience.

We loved it here! We had heard from friends about monkeys on the trail, grabbing backpacks and food and having to hit them with sticks to keep them away but I think that might have been a thing of the past. It is a really beautiful walk; you can walk as far as you'd like (we walked about 14kms that day!) but it's still a fair way to the 1st viewing area. We were lucky with our timing; people behind us weren't. Whether you see monkeys or not, the setting is spectacular with beautiful lakes, waterfalls and rivers. Highly recommended!

Leidongping is the last stop for shuttle bus. You will have to walk about 1.3km to the cable car station. Take a slow stroll to enjoy the scenery along the way.
