Embark on a captivating four-day hiking journey that begins in the majestic city of Leshan, home to the awe-inspiring Giant Buddha sculpted into the mountainside, a testament to ancient craftsmanship and spiritual devotion.

This adventure invites you to explore the UNESCO Heritage site of Emeishan, a beacon of cultural richness and natural beauty, offering an unparalleled experience for those seeking to immerse themselves in China’s profound heritage and breathtaking landscapes.

Your expedition through Emeishan unfolds with a thrilling 6-7 hour hike, winding through ancient temples like Fuhu, Leiyin, Shenshui, and the serene Qingyin Pavillon. As night falls, find solace in the tranquil surroundings of Hongcun Ping and the sacred Xianfeng Temple, where the harmony of nature and spirituality inspires deep reflection.

The adventure intensifies as you ascend toward the majestic Golden Summit, standing at an impressive 3,077 meters. This challenging yet rewarding trek through Jiuling Knoll and past the serene Elephant Pool culminates in breathtaking vistas from the summit. For those wishing a gentler journey, the option to take a cable car for the final stretch ensures all can experience the summit’s celestial beauty.

Conclude your journey with a sunrise unlike any other, gazing over Gongga Mountain, Sichuan’s highest peak, as it basks in the morning glow. The panoramic views of Wanfo Peak, enveloped in clouds and light, offer a moment of profound peace and awe.
