Mount Emei.

A wooded sacred mountain associated with Samantabhadra and a long tradition of temple pilgrimage.

Discover
Mount Emei

Mount Emei rises in stages from subtropical forest to a high summit, with Buddhist temples and footpaths along the way. The mountain is associated with Samantabhadra, while its different elevations make the journey feel like several landscapes in one.

Choose between a lower-mountain temple day and a more demanding summit-focused visit. Nearby Leshan can form a wider Buddhist heritage journey, but Emei itself deserves time for its forest, temples and changing weather.
