I encountered heavy fog when I went up to the Golden Summit of Mount Emei. Fortunately, the fog cleared up a bit after a while, revealing the Golden Buddha statue. The misty, rainy atmosphere was quite nice, but I couldn't see the autumn scenery. November 9th happened to be a Sunday. The No. 2 cable car up the mountain was quick in the morning, but the No. 1 cable car down the mountain had a 40-minute wait.

The No. 2 cable car up the mountain was quick in the morning, but the No. 1 cable car down the mountain had a 40-minute wait.

The three-minute cable car ride felt like looking at a mountain bonsai the whole time 😂 We took cable car number 1, which had large cabins and ran smoothly. Although it wasn&#39;t cheap, it really saved us a lot of walking, so it was worth it.

In this golden autumn season, stepping into Mount Emei is like stepping into a beautiful landscape painting. The mountains are looming in the clouds and mist, just like a fairyland descending on the earth.

On the top of the golden roof, the sun shines down, dazzling. The ten-faced golden statue of Samantabhadra is solemn and majestic, overlooking all things in the world, conveying endless compassion and wisdom. Standing here, looking at the mountains and the rolling clouds, I can&#39;t help but feel awe for nature.

Walking along the mountain trails, the clear springs are gurgling and the birds are singing. The green trees are shady, the flowers and plants are swaying, and every landscape tells the spirit and vitality of Mount Emei.

Mount Emei is not only a mountain, but also a spiritual sustenance. Here, you can put down the hustle and bustle of the world, immerse yourself in the embrace of nature, and feel the tranquility and beauty.

🧳Preparation before the trip:
This time we stayed at the Hilton Hampton Hotel in Mount Emei, and took a taxi 2 kilometers directly to the Mount Emei Scenic Area. You can also choose to stay at the Emeishan Jinding Hotel on the mountain of the Mount Emei Scenic Area, which is more convenient.

📝Note tips:
1. When entering the scenic area, you must buy a combined ticket for the round-trip cable car, sightseeing bus and scenic spot tickets. You may not be able to buy cable car tickets on popular dates, and there are often queues for the cable car.
2. The sightseeing bus up the mountain and the sightseeing bus down the mountain have many bends. Friends who often get carsick can bring motion sickness stickers in advance. The round trip takes 3 hours, which is a long time.

✅Must experience:
When traveling with children, many attractions have stamps for souvenirs. Be sure to prepare a stamp book. Children like stamps very much. The overlapping stamps in Mount Emei are very interesting.
