Stairway to Clouds: My Pilgrimage to Mount Emei

It Stole My Heart Mount Emei rises to 3,099 m, with the iconic Golden Summit featuring a massive 48-meter bronze Buddha statue, hanging above a sea of clouds that glows at dawn. Best Times: Spring and autumn, or early morning for the sunrise and “Buddha halo” moments when sunlight dances off fog. Golden Summit (Jinding): Catch sunrise between 06:00–07:30 for the cloud sea and halo effect. One-line‑Sky Trail: A tight mountain crevice between sheer cliffs—thrilling yet beautiful. 🧳 Visitor Tips • Tickets: Peak season ¥160, off-season ¥110. Book cable car early (¥65–120). What to Bring: Layers (up to 15 °C temperature drop), rain gear, sturdy shoes, snacks—but keep bags closed near monkeys.
