Emei Mountain is one of the four famous Buddhist mountains in China and the dojo of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva. There are numerous temples in the mountain, filling it with a mysterious atmosphere.
The scenery in the mountain is also extremely beautiful, with each season having its own characteristics. Perhaps due to the spiritual energy here, the monkeys in the mountain are notoriously naughty. They are not afraid of people and will actively ask tourists for food.
During the peak tourist season and Golden Week, the departure and arrival times at all stations across the mountain may be temporarily adjusted according to the requirements of the traffic management department.
