Overnight in Mount Emei

The tourist attractions are rich but scattered. If you want to enjoy the beautiful scenery to your heart’s content, you had better live in the scenic spot for at least one night. You can choose accommodation according to your own sightseeing schedule. Hongchun Valley, Xianfeng Temple and Xixiang Pool can be your choice. You can decide which place to stay based on your climbing speed. You can always find a place to stay as long as in slack season (not like busy season–National Holiday). It is best for you to arrive at Leidong Valley, because you can enjoy the sunrise the next day.

Downtown or low-level area: it is convenient to visit Baoguo Temple, and you can also enjoy the hot springs. Hotels are clustered in Baoguo Temple, like Hongzhushan Hotel, Hot Spring Hotel and Mount Emei Hotel (3 hot spring hotels), RMB 700 to 1000 a room for one night. There are many inns at low-altitude area, much more in downtown, and the price is more reasonable, few decades of dollars to hundreds of dollars for one room a night. Living in downtown is very convenient to enjoy delicious local food, and it only takes RMB 10 to 20 to Baoguo Temple by taxi.
