You will then head to Emeishan (UNESCO Heritage), where you will stay at the bottom of the mountain and rest up for tomorrow’s hiking adventure. For dinner tonight, you will enjoy a delicious Sichuan Hotpot
Day 2: Emeishan
Today you will embark on a 6-7 hour hike which takes you on a trail around the Emeishan UNESCO Heritage site.
You will stop at several points of interest including Fuhu Temple, Leiyin Temple, Shenshui Temple and Qingyin Pavillon.
You will eventually end up at Hongcun Ping and the Xianfeng Temple where you will stay for the night.
