Roaming the Mid-Mountain Area of Mount Emei: Temples and Monkeys

Mount Emei is vast and high. The low mountain area is free to visit and features beautiful mountains and rivers, while the high mountain area is magnificent and breathtaking. However, I think the essence of Mount Emei is concentrated in the mid-mountain area. From Qingyin Pavilion, go up the 99 Bends, pass several temples, encounter several monkeys, and climb many stone steps to reach Elephant Bathing Pool. This journey is full of excitement. Today, let's take a look at this hiking route and roam the mid-mountain area. 👍️Three recommended reasons: [One] Rich travel routes: This route allows you to enjoy Mount Emei, from streams to high mountain clouds. [Two] Many attractions: You will pass by many mountain pavilions and temples, where you can visit, take photos, and rest. [Three] Few tourists: You can avoid the crowds at the Golden Summit and roam the scenery of Mount Emei. 📅Travel guide: The hiking route in the mid-mountain area generally starts from Qingyin Pavilion and ends at Elephant Bathing Pool. It passes through: Qingyin Pavilion → Ecological Monkey Area → Hongchunping → 99 Bends → Xianfeng Temple → Yuxian Temple → Jiulinggang → Zuantian Slope → Elephant Bathing Pool Qingyin Pavilion: The Double Bridge Qingyin, one of the ten scenic spots of Mount Emei, lives up to its reputation. The mossy walls in the temple are also great for photos. Ecological Monkey Area: You can't avoid monkeys on Mount Emei. You can only watch them from a distance. The Ecological Monkey Area is well-designed and beautiful, but be careful of the mischievous monkeys. Hongchunping: An ancient temple halfway up the mountain, Hongchun Xiaoyu is also one of the ten scenic spots of Mount Emei. The temple houses cultural relics that you can enjoy slowly. 99 Bends: The mountain road is difficult to walk, with many steps. It is just one of the many slopes on Mount Emei. Perseverance is victory. Xianfeng Temple: With a long history, it offers accommodation and food services, and you can also dry your clothes. It is a good choice for a transfer stay. Yuxian Temple: A small temple on the top of the mountain, unique. It is a great place for taking photos. Zuantian Slope: After replenishing at Jiulinggang, go straight to Elephant Bathing Pool. 🏨Accommodation guide: There are two main accommodation options: You can stay in various temples, with a single room costing about 200. If you can reach Leidongping, there are also various hotels to choose from. Xianfeng Temple is the best location, with a large area, and is the most recommended. 💗Other tips: [One] The mountain roads are slippery in winter, so you need to prevent slipping and falling. Xianfeng Temple is covered with ice and snow, and crampons are very useful. [Two] There are many supply points along the way, and temples provide free hot water. You can also stay overnight if needed. [Three] Pay attention to your physical strength and don't overexert yourself.
