Sichuan and Chongqing Places

Emeishan

Timing

Climbing the mountain from base to peak and back again can take anywhere from three to six days depending on fitness levels. A day of relaxation and recovery for tender joints and muscles will likely be in order afterward. Seeing the mountain by shuttle bus up the paved roads that run most of the way to the top and the chairlift that goes the rest of the way can be accomplished in as little as a day.
