My Terrifying Adventure Taking Kids to Mount Emei! These 3 Pitfalls Made Me Want to Become a Nun

Sisters! Bravely brought my 6-year-old to the "Number One Fairy Mountain of China" – knelt on Golden Summit steps until my knees gave out 😭 Monkeys stole my kid's lollipop, cable car queues were packed like sardines... Through tears, I've compiled this 2-day survival guide that'll save you from buying ten extra hiking poles‼️ 🌈 Immortal-Level Itinerary (Trial Edition) Day1⃣️: Speeding from Chengdu 👉 Got lost at "Only Mount Emei" theater 👉 Shattered phone at Cloud Mid-Theater Day2⃣️: Robbed by monkeys at Leidongping 👉 Turned into ice sculpture at Golden Summit 👪 Devoured tofu pudding on descent Cloud Above Immersive Theater Fairy tales come to life! 🎭 The glowing sword bought for kid ended up poking fog machines... Child got lost in maze-like tile houses, nearly triggering "missing child" PA announcement 📢 ✅ Leidongping Monkey Zone Mount Emei's "bandits" live up to reputation! 🐒 10-yuan monkey food got snatched with the plastic bag... Kid's panda hairclip became trophy glittering on treetop 🎀 ✅ Golden Summit Sea of Clouds Beyond phone camera's capture! ☁️ Kid bundled like dumpling still got snot bubbles – 80-yuan rented cloaks saved us... Before Samantabhadra statue, kid suddenly kowtowed: "Bless me with less winter homework!" 💣 Bloody Lessons: 1️⃣ Queue for Golden Summit cable car 2hrs early! We warmed feet with heat packs 2️⃣ Never let kids carry plastic bags! Monkeys unwrap faster than express delivery 3️⃣ Bring swim rings to hot spring hotels! Kids' pool crowded like dumpling pot 4️⃣ Avoid front rows at Cloud Below Theater! Sudden actor interactions scared kid under seats 🍜 Food Hall of Fame/Shame: ✔️ Maluqiao's Ox Offal Soup (Kid drank 3 bowls) ✔️ Gaoji Tofu Pudding's crispy pork flavor (Extra fried dough, less spice) ✔️ Zen Temple's bamboo shoots (So sweet kid thought they were candy) ✖️ Scenic spot "Holy Monkey Ice Cream" (15-yuan saccharin taste) ✖️ Viral Spicy Chicken Pot (Kid rinsed mouth with milk for 10min) 📸 Instagram Hotspots: 1⃣️ Cloud Mid-Theater fog forest (Hold kid for light-shadow shots) 2⃣️ Golden Summit Love Lock Trail (Mini locks for pretend wishes) 3⃣️ Leidongping snow pines (Toss snow powder for fairy vibe) 4⃣️ Zen homestay scripture desk (Stage "child prodigy" photos) 🏡 Accommodation Truths: ✔️ Mount Emei Hot Spring Hotel: Family tents & waterslides ✔️ Cloud Below Theater B&B: Free opera mask painting ✖️ Certain Zen Inn: Wooden fish sounds till midnight – kid counted sheep to tears ⚠️ Lifesavers: ✔️ Foldable hiking pole (Monkey-proof "golden cudgel") ✔️ Anti-slip crampons (Icy steps=skating rink) ✔️ Sealed monkey food container (Plastic=robbery notice) ✔️ Portable oxygen (3077m altitude had mom wheezing) On train home, kid suddenly patted pocket: "Mom, I smuggled monkey fur!" 😱 Though clothes wrung out 3kg of mist daily, seeing his sketchbook's "Battle with Sun Wukong" made it all worthwhile! (💡 Pro Tip: Dress kids in neon down jackets! Golden Summit fog so thick you can't see 5m ahead – our pink became "human signal tower" 🚨)
