The Allure of Mount Emei in Winter

Amidst the sweltering heat, a respite awaits at Mount Emei, nestled in Sichuan Province, China. This iconic peak, also known as 峨嵋山 (Éméishān), exerts a subtle influence on our weather patterns. As weather forecasts often announce, high or low-pressure systems originating from China can alter Thailand's climate.

This winter visit to Mount Emei proved to be the most enchanting yet. Despite the biting cold and snow-covered landscape, a stroke of luck brought clear skies and warming sunshine. Having visited Mount Emei on numerous occasions, this particular trip stands out for reasons that will be unveiled in the following sections.

Visiting Ngoc Bay Mountain offers a variety of transportation options to suit your preferences and expertise. You can purchase a tour from Thailand that includes trips to Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong. Alternatively, if you prefer to backpack independently, you can take a bus from Xinnanmen Bus Station (新南门长途汽车站) in Chengdu. Knowing Chinese will be very helpful. We visited in mid-February 2017, during the winter season, when the landscape was covered in a thick blanket of snow.

Reaching the peak of Mount Ngoc Bai to visit the summit of Mount Jin Ting requires a two-hour journey by park vehicle, followed by a winding climb up the mountain that can leave you feeling disoriented.

*** Round-trip bus fare is 90 yuan, cable car fare is 65 yuan for uphill and 55 yuan for downhill.

The view was breathtakingly beautiful, making it impossible to sleep.

With its unpredictable weather, Khao Ngoi Bai can experience all four seasons in a single day.

Upon reaching the parking lot on Ngau Ngau Tsai Mountain, a 30-minute walk is required to reach the cable car station. The path alternates between flat sections and stairs.

Take a 5-minute cable car ride.

Mount Emei is one of the four sacred mountains of Buddhism in China. These four mountains are:

Emei Shan 峨眉山 in Sichuan Province 四川省, Putuo Shan 普陀山 in Zhejiang Province 浙江省, Jiuhuashan 九华山 in Anhui Province 安徽省, and Wutai Shan 五台山 in Shanxi Province 山西省.

After disembarking from the cable car, continue walking for approximately 600 meters to reach the summit of Mount Jinting.

It is incredibly fortunate to have encountered such a sight. The skies are clear and bright, revealing the majestic Jinting Mountain, which stands at an impressive 3,077 meters above sea level. Its peak is adorned with snow for most of the year, and the average temperature throughout the year ranges from 14 to 19 degrees Celsius. While Mount Ngoc Bay can be visited year-round, the rainy season from April to October presents some challenges due to difficult travel conditions. The temperature on Mount Ngoc Bay varies significantly, earning it the nickname "The Mountain of Four Seasons within 10 Li." The weather can change dramatically within a short distance, creating a diverse and fascinating environment.

The statue of the Bodhisattva Puxian (Samantabhadra) is made of bronze and weighs 62 tons. It was created during the Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127 AD) and depicts the Bodhisattva seated on a white elephant.

Upon arrival, don't forget to make a wish.

Seeking respite from the summer heat? Winter offers a refreshing escape, even with its cooler temperatures. With proper preparation, you can comfortably embrace the season. Pack warm clothing, including thermals, fleece jackets, windbreakers, thick socks or fleece-lined ones, gloves, hats, and scarves. These essentials will keep you cozy and unfazed by the cold. Additionally, winter attracts fewer tourists compared to the vibrant foliage season, allowing for a more peaceful and less crowded experience.

See you again on the next trip. Let's go home and face the hot weather together.
